Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. That made me laugh outloud (good thing my bosses weren't nearby).
Anyway, the best strategy is probably to not use "porn" in your google at all.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I used "time magazine computers porn children cover" for the article and "Time cyberporn debunk" to get to the hotwired page. But your advice is probably good in general.

Another link, that has a buch of links in it: [link]
On 3rd July,1995, (Volume 146, No. 1) Time Magazine published its front cover article "On a Screen Near You: Cyberporn" alleging extensive pornography on the Internet. It was based on a report by an undergraduate Engineering student "Marketing Pornography on the Information Superhighway" (The Rimm Report).
You might try googling the article's title, or the study's title (in quotes, to get the exact title). "Cyberporn" and "Information Superhighway" are terms that aren't used as much these days, I think.
The Rimm Report
Heh.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The Meese Report on Pornography was a famous pre-Internet skewage of stats as well. His hypothesis and coincidentally, what he "proved" with the report was that looking at porn makes people commit rape. How he got there? Went to prisons and asked convicted rapists if they've ever seen Playboy or other porn.
I'll dig for more if I get a chance...

If you've heard talk that Joe Wilson claimed that the Vice President sent him to Niger here's the real story:
The RNC cited Wilson's Times op-ed as evidence that he claimed Cheney sent him to Niger. But the op-ed actually noted that it was "agency officials" from the CIA who "asked if I would travel to Niger" to answer questions Cheney's office had about a particular intelligence report:
In February 2002, I was informed by officials at the Central Intelligence Agency that Vice President Dick Cheney's office had questions about a particular intelligence report. While I never saw the report, I was told that it referred to a memorandum of agreement that documented the sale of uranium yellowcake -- a form of lightly processed ore -- by Niger to Iraq in the late 1990's. The agency officials asked if I would travel to Niger to check out the story so they could provide a response to the vice president's office.
The RNC then distorted Wilson's appearance on CNN's Late Edition by excluding a crucial portion of his remarks in which he noted that "it's absolutely true" that Cheney was unaware that Wilson was traveling to Niger and reiterated that the "CIA, at the operational level, made a determination" to send Wilson to answer a "serious question" posed by Cheney's office.
Additionally, Rove's conversation with Cooper took place on July 11, 2003 -- more than three weeks before Wilson's CNN appearance -- so it is chronologically impossible for Rove to have been refuting a statement that Wilson hadn't made yet, as Salon.com has pointed out.
From the RNC talking points:
Joe Wilson: "What They Did, What The Office Of The Vice President Did, And, In Fact, I Believe Now From Mr. Libby's Statement, It Was Probably The Vice President Himself ..." (CNN's "Late Edition," 8/3/03)
From the August 3, 2003, edition of CNN's Late Edition:
WILSON: Well, look, it's absolutely true that neither the vice president nor Dr. [then-national security adviser Condoleezza] Rice nor even [then-CIA Director] George Tenet knew that I was traveling to Niger.
What they did, what the office of the vice president did, and, in fact, I believe now from Mr. Libby's statement, it was probably the vice president himself --
BLITZER: [I. Lewis] "Scooter" Libby is the chief of staff for the vice president.
WILSON: Scooter Libby. They asked essentially that we follow up on this report -- that the agency follow up on the report. So it was a question that went to the CIA briefer from the Office of the Vice President. The CIA, at the operational level, made a determination that the best way to answer this serious question was to send somebody out there who knew something about both the uranium business and those Niger officials that were in office at the time these reported documents were executed.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Good lord. I would fail that question because, most of the time, I'd rather wait an extra minute than get into a confrontation with a stranger.
I've gotten into bitter public arguments with people because they stopped to chat excessively with a clerk while a long line of people was waiting behind them. This didn't make the lines move any faster, but at least the guilty party's blood pressure got raised as much as mine did.
