With bright futures for the US economy approaching the horizon – I thought I’d take a moment and see where our – and the world’s – money is REALLY going. Yep. Pornography. And in honor of the games in Beijing, I thought I’d go Bob Costas on our pornographic asses and see who’s revving up our engines.
Surprisingly, the United States doesn’t even clock in the top 3. Nope, not even a bronze medal.![]()
The gold medal, however, goes to….. China! While they represent nearly 20% of the world’s population, they raked in about 28% of the worldwide revenue. Although, with their high population, it averages about $27 per capita.
No latex-life-like Jenna Haze vaginas for you!, China!
The silver medal, surprisingly, goes to South Korea! Heungbundoeyo!!! With a little over 25 billion dollars rung up, it’s nice to be on the South side.
Although by not even representing 1% of the population, good ol’ S.K. posts an amazing $526 per capita revenue rate. So you see, it’s good to have the yellow fever. Er.. peach-yellow fever? Damn.
The bronze medal goes to Japan. We all knew this was coming. They’ve given
us bukkake, Kobe Tai and Asia Carrera, and what we’ve dubbed “hentai”. They’ve also given us Panda Express. Arigato!
Japan’s looking pretty studly with just a little under $20 billion in cash, and a respectable $157 per capita revenue. Not like those South Korean pervs though. Go Japan! [ed note: I know Panda Express is not Japanese. Duh. The Jews took it from them]
Although we came in fourth, I’m still proud to be an American! We pull in about $14 billion (around $45 a head). Pretty respectable for being almost 5% of the world’s population. Take that China! And interestingly enough, the US’s pornographic revenue exceeds the combined revenues of ABC, CBS, and NBC. Although I’m sure if Kelly Ripa went topless, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
So take the 14 billion dollars in revenue and factor in the US birth rate of one person every 7 seconds – and you’ll see that every time a baby is born, we’ve spent about $3107 on pornography. KA-CHING!! That breaks down to 28 DVDs, 25 vibrators, 125 bottles of lube, and a 2 year subscription to every frat rat’s favorite, BangBros.com. Hope you’re ambidextrous.
(Oh, and before you ask why I didn’t spend any money on condoms; think about it, ladies – name the last dude-bro you met at TD’s who just happened to have a condom in his Billabong velcro wallet just waiting for that magic moment to make humpy-hump with you in the bathroom stall that somehow *still* reeks of old Don Pablo’s burritos. Mmmhmm. I thought so. But I digress.)
Besides, everyone knows the classy guys go to the Cockta…er, the Octagon.
Well, I hope you’ve enjoyed our little foray into economics. It’s amazing what you’ll find on the internet when you’re high on Sugarfree Red Bull and Sour Patch Kids. Another interesting fact before we part ways:
The #1 city in the United States requesting searches on the words “porn”, “xxx”, and “sex” on the internet?
Elmhurst, IL.
Elmhurst, I dub thee “Rapeville”
[ed final note: In the time it took you to read this article, 3.4 million people were checking out internet porn instead.]
*Now* you may go get the cocoa butter.
