Just in case you’ve ever wanted evidence that people do more online searches for porn on weekends (especially Friday nights!):

Googling "porn" is for n00bz.
Note that the news is in the news quite often. Somebody's a bit self-obsessed.

I'd expect that people view less porn when they're at work or school.
Zooming out a bit, the search volume of porn has really taken off in the last 2 years: http://trends.google.com/trends?q=porn&date=all&geo=usa&ctab=0&sort=0&sa=N
Not to extrapolate too much, but the big bump in "porn" searches in spring '08 - after which they never dipped below their prior peak - neatly coincides with the time the employment rate began an identical trend: http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=wh&graph_name=LN_cpsbref3
Maybe we have one more way to measure the economy on our...er...hands.

Well, I do. Porn shouldn't exist. Full stop.

[...] A little light reading (in the form of charts and maps) for this laid back holiday weekend. In case you didn’t know what to do this Saturday or Sunday, it’s good to know that loads of “other” people are downloading porn! See, it says so right here. [...]
