As we've learned again this week, not all mainstream media outlets treat porn the same way. The New York Times crowd gets boring sales figures, LA Daily News fans get lurid sensationalism, and the soccer dads and housewives who watched Good Morning America this morning got ... PANIC! Perhaps you haven't heard the tale of the California minister whose marriage was nearly torn apart by his horrible internet pornography addiction, or how his efforts to hide his dark secret from his wife and her efforts to catch him in the act became a twisted game of cat and mouse. (Ooh, kinky!) It certainly is difficult to imagine how they were able to overcome a smutty surfing habit that averaged an astonishing one hour a week ... wait, what? One hour a week?! We do more than that before breakfast and that's before we even punch the clock. Maybe "addiction" means something different to Diane Sawyer than it does to us, but that's some serious freakin' willpower in our book.
