Stimulus package checks stimulate Internet pornography industry Can't Post
On the lighter side of things:

"The U.S. government's $100 billion stimulus distributed to taxpayers this spring achieved mixed results, according to economists, but at least the Internet pornography industry flourished (according to a July trade association spokesman). Adult Internet Market Research Co. reported that "20 to 30 percent" of "adult" Web sites reported that sales rose during the time checks were being issued. However, Nevada brothels were suffering, even though Hof's Bunny Ranch ran a stimulus-check special: Hand over your $600 check and get the usual $1,200 "party" ("three girls and a bottle of champagne"). [AIMR press release, 7-2-08] [Newsweek, 6-16-08]"

I really don't get media at times (actually I do but don't like to think that I do). I'm sure we could find data showing that potholes in our streets went up x percent as well.

Could be. An interesting study would be to see if in economic downturns people turn to porn to "console" themselves.
