On Vox: iphone Porn by city

The upswing of people viewing porn on iPhones is apparantly a big blogging target right now.  My trend tracker pointed to this google trends page.

http://www.google.com/trends?q=iphone%20porn&ctab=0&hl=en

 

The page had a breakdown by cities which had an unusual oddity:

 

Iphone
Iphone

DC is number one, no surprises there.  Finally congressmen can look at porn from the Senate floor.

But look at #3.  Richardson Texas?  Where is Richardson Texas, and why does it create more hits for iPhone porn than *either* Las Vegas or Los Angeles?

Wikipedia says that the population is around 100,000 people, so more people can't be the answer... The answer must be... more iPhones per capita.  Why do you think that is?  Well, Richardson is home to  600 high tech companies, including telco companies, like Nortel, Ericsson, Texas Instruments and.... AT&T. An added advantage of the 3G network, clearly!

Other surprises are Irvine and Pleasanton both placing ahead of San Jose or Cupertino, so Apple is clearly able to keep a handle on the illicit porn.

I bet its because Richardson has a pretty unique blend of technological sophistication and sexual repression. I seem to remember seeing a lot of telco/networking type positions posted for Richardson when I was still in that world. Put that together with Texas culture and you have a lot of porn consumption.

Irvine doesn't surprise me. OC is more repressed than parts north.

Clearly Richardson doesn't have a free weekly paper that the she-males can advertise in, and the Johns have to go a-hunting.

It's be interesting to see if we can get some kind of advertising trend for she-male escorts in each of these cities, and see if we can find some correlation.

That is pretty interesting. Since Seattle didn't make the list, it makes me think that microsoft might be keeping its guys away from the I-Phone as well.

Oh, man, I just imagined what could happen if Apple ever releases a development kit for the iPhone. Put the full screen together with porn images and your could make some truly disturbing interfaces.

Damn, no wonder there are so many car accidents around here. Now you can sip your latte, look at iphone porn (if you're a rich person from Chevy Chase or Bethesda), AND tool around town. But at least it's not Texas.
