A recent survey showed that almost 50% of UK internet traffic is porn-related. This is a lot of wasted bandwith! The National Porn Service that I am proposing would distribute porn to peoples houses, free of charge, using advertising to generate funds. Instead of using PCs connected to the internet
to access hardcore pornography, one would simply view magazines and videos supplied by the National Porn Service. The material would be delivered free of charge, much like free newspapers, on a weekly basis. Those not interested will be able to remove themselves from the mailing list. The material will be customisable, depending on interests and tastes via a satisfaction questionairre delivered with the porn. With all the extra free bandwith that would become available, the internet could be put to the uses it was originally designed for.

Have you read the new Yahoo magazine? It contains an article tenatively applauding internet porn as a medium of diversity unparalleled in the advertising age. The real tradgedy is that more women with "body issues" do not surf porn - it contains proof positive that there is no woman so homely that she cannot be considered sex goddess - not too mention racial integration on a scale the the NAACP can only dream, or fantasize, about.| — | Scott_D,

I think J. Edgar Hoover just
stopped spinning in his grave. |
|
| |
J. Edgar Hoover, late director of the FBI, is (in)famous for trying to control those who were nominally in control of him by selectively providing them with information about their opponents and staff. Knowledge about any sort of sexual divergence was an even more crucial bargaining chip then than it is today, at least outside of the boy scouts. |
|
| |
Having an excuse to centrally store and monitor the sexual preferences of everyone in a country would, I'm sure, have excited him very much. |
|

How ironic,
The internet was designed to disseminate information but in your opinion bandwidth is being wasted by porn related traffic. Did you ever consider that some people think maybe your usage of the Internet is a waste of bandwidth by advocating censorship? |
|
| |
Considering that ccaamgw was talking about sending pr0n to everybody's home at government/advertiser expense, I hardly think that's advocating censorship... |
|
| |
And Jutta is correct. How many people would want to give the government <ANY government> a list of answers to -extremely- personal questions? |
|
| |
hotdog: my idea was rather tongue-in-cheek -- of course the internet is a fantastic technology for disseminating information and I'm sure it is used for many useful applications other than porn,most of the time! |
|
| |
I would rather speed up the Internet by removing all NON-porn sites. |
|
| |
The big question has to be did your brother in law's boss buy that? |
|
| |
If it eliminates the countless porn spam mails I get weekly, then I'm all for it. I'm also all for the government providing paper weekly for the bottom of my bird cages and whelping boxes. I could order extra and use it in the fireplace too. |
|
| |
Susen? is that really you Susan? "Are you a readers wife, with a little black box covering your eyes?" |
|
| |
I thought this idea was going to be like military service, where upon hitting 18, all fresh-faced youngsters would be obliged to go off and perform their duty for the country. |
|
| |
alx, you're thinking of benfrost's "Porn Conscription" idea. |
|
| |
If users aren't wasting bandwidth on porn, they'll be wasting paper (and trees) on porn. |
|
| |
The greatest works of art come from enthusiastic amateurs, not bureaucracies. |
|
| |
free porn delivery would probably be most attractive to pranksters. if this had existed while i was at school all my teachers would have recieved "Bum Beard Fetishist" and "Sexy Toejam" regularily. as it would be free, i could have renewed their subscriptions as fast as they could cancel them. |
|
| |
also, //the internet could be put to the uses it was originally designed for//
how originally is originally? if taken literally enough that would exclude all non military uses. |
|
| |
Any medium that provides people with virtually limitless access to porn get the thumbs up from me. I spent many a time as an adolescent gazing wistfully up at the top magazine shelf in the local newsagent, cursing both my lack of height to reach the damn things or the bravery to buy one. |
|
| |
Given that we are talking about computer porn, the porn should be sent out as CDs, like AOL does. |
|
| |
To subsidize the costs of the CD, it should be sponsored by porn sites. I imagine one can fit over 90 minutes of high quality "commecials" onto one CD. |
|
| |
but how would they exist if internet porn has been banned in favour of whatever [ccaamgw] decides the internet was designed for? |
|
| |
What would we do with all the spare band width??? |
