    83% of statistics are made up on the spot!

    I don't think its true really, i bet its one of those urban legends, I bet its only 63 or 64% ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 985 ✭✭✭spadder


    such a waste,

    what the hell are they doing with the other 31%


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 endorphan


    It's an appropriate figure in a double entendre sort of way but I don't think it's ironic. I blame [SIZE=-1]Alanis Morissette.......... a song about irony and most of it wasn't.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Is this total content, or browsing stats?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    31% is the directions to get to porn

    About as unquantifiable a statistic as you could imagine.

    I can't imagine its that high according this 1% of indexed sites contain adult material.
    Unless its going by volume not number of sites even at that 69% is hard to believe.

    I just found some more.

    Purely for research purposes of course:)

    I blame the people who have orgies (creepy-yes) on the MMO games, damn them pushing up the statistic!:p
    69% of webpages = doubtful
    69% of all images/vids/files = doubtful when you consider myspace, bebo, youtube, alluc, etc....
    69% of data = perhaps (since the videos would be much larger, in terms of bytes, than the average sh*t resolution youtube video) but then when you try to do a byte by byte comparison it's a bit unfair since no one byte = porn, it requires many bytes to make even a low res thumbnail image.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    at least .000000000000002% has to be boards.ie?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Damn, still 11.31246789% left for me to get through, will it ever end...


  • Legal Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 5,400 Mod ✭✭✭✭Maximilian


    20% of the remainder is dedicated to penis enlargement, with a further 7% to viagra.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,321 ✭✭✭prendy


    ^thats 90% of e.mails!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,031 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    I'm surprised the figure is as low as 69%


  • Registered Users Posts: 748 ✭✭✭It BeeMee


    Maybe 69% of porn is on the internet?

    69%


    The way it should be :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 nixion


    69percent? I Think You Are Being Just Nice I Think It Is Somewhere At 75


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 320 ✭✭Trode


    Probably depends on your definition of pron. If I've learned one thing from the internet it's that every single thing on it makes someone, somewhere hard, offended or both.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,382 ✭✭✭✭rubadub

    same here. I would rather bump into my mother as I walked out of a sleazy massage parlour than an internet cafe. At least I could fob her off and claim I had a bad back, while everybody knows the internet is only used for one thing.

    I heard years ago that the porn industry has a bigger turnover than the entire music AND film industry combined.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    Not only did they manage to uncover the entire internet but they also managed to wade through the whole thing so they could make an accurate recording!

    The only reason people believe the figure to be so high is because they don't browse much else. :P

    I have the internet on dvd and it's all porn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    I bet I could still get off on the rest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 204 ✭✭gufcfan


    That song should really have been called shit.

    Ya but then it wouldnt have been ironic...

    only one percent of the sites indexed by Google and Microsoft contain sexually explicit content.Google and Microsoft have 1.3 million porn sites serving up about 260 million web pages however if you search porn,sex,xxx,adult, in any variation google will only supply 1000 sites maximum. So the 1.3 million must be anything with a woman scantly clad in it.

    Overall the statistics (netcraft april 2007 ) claim that there are 108 million website son the internet.That' includes boards.ie etc and there are 4.2 million Pornographic websites.It is claimed that 12% http://internet-filter-review.toptenreviews.com/internet-pornography-statistics.html of the internet is pornography but i think that figure has been reduced to more like 4 percent.One study of internet use revealed that it is estimated that 7.5 % of all web pages acccessed (69,000 web pages ) in a Dallas library in USA were pornography by users while on line in the library. What is pornography.? DONT ANSWER THAT!

    I expected more tbh.

    Or maybe that's my hard drive I'm thinking of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭Lux23


    I would have thought its more too, theres so much amateur stuff these days that you would think everyone is taping their shagging sessions and posting it online.
