Some 25 percent of search-engine requests are porn-related

If true, that's an astonishing figure.

Just think what the figures would be without Free Republic soaking up so much bandwidth!

I'm in the business (search, not porn). It's true.

No lie. My daughter wanted to find the lyrics to the Christian song "I Get On My Knees" . I heard her say to her brother "Go to google and type in 'On My Knees'". I got to the computer in time.

I don't know how you could establish that. If you define pornography as material that people use to, um, visually enhance sexual fantasies, then they could be counting every search for Britney Spears.

If that figure was based on an analysis of the search terms used, it's not reliable, as AOL discovered years ago. They tried to police their message boards with keyword filters, and it completely shut down the breast cancer support forum, among others.
