Prop 8 and Porn

porn, pornography, red, conservative, liberal, homosexual, prop 8, religion, christian,
In case you missed it on Feministe (why aren't you visiting Feministe? it's awesome!) Utah is the biggest porn customer in the U.S., and states that have banned same-sex marriage in order to maintain traditional values consume 11% more pornography than states without marriage bans.

Here's the paper in pdf.

And a few more quotes:

"subscriptions are also more prevalent in states where
surveys indicate conservative positions on religion, gender roles, and sexuality. In
states where more people agree that “Even today miracles are performed by the
power of God” and “I never doubt the existence of God,” there are more subscriptions
to this service. Subscriptions are also more prevalent in states where more
people agree that “I have old-fashioned values about family and marriage” and
“AIDS might be God’s punishment for immoral sexual behavior.”


visitors from the “red”
states that voted for Bush in 2004 are more likely to visit wife-swapping sites, adult
webcams, and sites about voyeurism.

Red is Shockingly Popular at Valentine's Day

red, communism, socialism, obama, agenda, plot, rapture, stupid
Apparently, the fact that red is (or maybe isn't, I don't know) a popular color right now means we are all going to be socialists soon. (That was communists, for those of you keeping track, but whatever.)

(1) Red is always very popular at Valentine's Day (at least in the US. Readers from other countries, feel free to chime in.)

(2) I love red. I look fabulous in red. Therefore, I decorate and wear as much red as possible. AAAHHHH . . . I must be Stalin!

From the ever popular Rapture Ready message boards:

Sundial begins the silliness with: Lately I've noticed several products marketed with an emphasis on the color red--cell phones have one in red, Dell computer totally want one in red, the youth brigade jackets huh?, a larger percentage of red in the new Pepsi logo pepsi is teh evul--these are just a few products. I did a search on the Pantone website, the world's authority on color trends for the seasons, and there is NO red listed for spring. wow! they missed one. they're not psychics, guys.This is no coincidence. it's teh evul! Our current administration is implementing a a very subtle means of marketing their socialistic agenda. obama controls what colors cell phones and computers come in? either i'm very lucky or that's insane. In a matter of time, we will see red as the primary color choice in our products. all products will be red. and nobody will think to distinguish themselves by choosing blue. yeah. Perhaps we will be known as the "red shirts". like commies!

EndisNear posts a picture of the traditional USSR hammer and sickle (symbol in yellow over a red background): I wonder if we'll be seeing yellow, too. i hope not. i look like i have liver failure in yellow.

jb777 totally accepts the idea that Obama controls our color preferences: I plan to adopt or wear any color I take a mind to....heck with them and their stupid socialist agenda.

wally was apparently channelling me (which would explain that rather awkward blackout yesterday): Colorful fiends! That's why they painted all thoses fire trucks red.To draw all young children deep into their communist clutches!I am soooo glad we have yellow fire trucks......Now why did the utility companies eliminate safety yellow from their vehicles and replace it with white? HmmmmSo the prolotariate would surrender? Yes ! Its all a color plot!Quick form a defense around Crayola! We need more colors!Sounds like diversity training...... wait a minuet.....

just when i think these people can't get any more nuts . . .

What You Don't Know

about me.

1. My favorite color is pink. I tell people it's red.

2. I don't have eyebrows. I put them on every day and pretend nobody can tell that they are subtly different every time they see me.

3. I can go days without talking, if allowed.

4. I can only go hours without music.
