The You Tube link for the quote appears to have broken, does anybody have a new link for the quote?

Is it really down to one percent? I could have sworn that at some point it was estimated that 80 percent of all websites were porn. Was there a point when this was true or was it based on inaccurate assumptions?

A quick search shows a bunch of sites quoting a 12.5 percent statistic. I know there are a lot of porn ads that skew the perceptions but even taking that into account one percent seems awfully low.
Now, I can believe that porn sites make up a smaller percentage of the internet now that there's mass adoption (when I first heard the 80 percent statistic it was at a time when the internet was still mostly something for us geeks to play with)
Well demographic changes might have something to do with it. Once upon a time, the typical internet user was said to be male and roughly in the young-to-middle aged adult catergory or similar- and no surprises what men of that age typically get up to most of the time. Now, pretty much everybody uses the internet except for a few die-hard old folks and the Amish, probably...
Does anyon else think that Cyanide & Happiness comic number 2819 would make a better picture?

No — it's a lot of text with the visuals adding nothing and would require 2-3 panels. The current is (in my opinion) incredibly funny and unusual, especially because everyone knows it's parodying Google.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
^Seconded. This image is funny. It needs to stay.

Can we get a mention for "Babylon 5?" I remember a part in River of Souls, basically a holo-brothel (also nothing that the female commanders image was popular with the ladies)
I hate to say it, but this trope is overdosed and has been sinkholed to death.
Da ze~!
