Did you know that "pornography is more addictive than alcohol, cigarettes or illicit drugs?" Or that "one in five children ages 10 to 17 has received sexual solicitations while on the Internet" - and that, by extension, pornography per se is equivalent to pedophilia? Or that "over 80% of Americans are in favor of clamping down on Internet Pornography?" Neither did we. Nor can we find any sources to back up most of the claims made by an alliance of "several U.S. and Canadian organizations" that announced a "War on Pornography" campaign in Utah yesterday*.

We do know, however, that it would be really funny to have this post wind up as the top Google result for "War On Pornography" in the future.

** Update Since we posted this, the folks at WarOnPornography.com have changed and/or removed several of the original claims made on their website, and have added citations for the statistics which they still quote - true, many of these sources are still difficult to verify (there aren't any web links), but at least they're trying.
