Four in ten teenagers report seeing porn on the internet.

In other news, six in ten teenagers either lie or don't use the internet.

Remember when 4 in 10 teenagers had to go digging through dumpsters behind magazine stores for porno?

Ahh, progress.

Too funny! Cannot top your quip. Note in this quality survey that 40% turns into an assumed majority of high school students and that there may be a link between seeing porn and depression in teens.

"two-thirds of them saying it was uninvited,"

To me, that is the bigger lie .p

I actually saw far more uninvited porn than invited porn for years, until I mastered the art of adblocking. For people who had to use IE 6 before the invention of popup blockers, if they didn't know how to disable them manually in the advanced functions? I can certainly see that being a problem.

And since the kinds in question are, by definition, clueless, I really to believe that they honestly said "I saw porn that I didn't look for".

I suppose it depends on the way the question was phrased. I was envisioning them denying intentionally looking at porn as opposed to admitting to having seen unintentional porn.

I've seen porn I wasn't looking for while I was looking for porn. Believe me. I didn't need to see some of that stuff.

Yes, but what i'm wondering about is ho many of those who waved the banner of "uninvited porn" have also intentionally looked at porn and used their unintentional times as a cover.

[waterspyder.livejournal.com]

My cover was always to blame it on my brother.

heh i was lucky... my father thought it was healthy and my mother was "don't ask, don't tell."

Well, almost half the teenagers are girls, and porn for girls is usually called something else, like erotica. They should still see the popups though.
