"Game Of Thrones Is So Popular It Has An Effect On Porn Consumption"

Game of Thrones, not just one of the most popular shows on television, but one of the most popular shows in history, has on Sunday once again confirmed its impact on the world! Incidentally, on porn industry… as it happened, the online porn consumption has decreased by 4% on Sunday. And if you think that 4% is not significant, think again!

PornHub, one of the 60 most visited porn sites in the US, has released a statistic showing that 4% in terms of numbers is actually millions and millions of visitor a day! How about that for a 4% decrease?!  (via Reddit)

Stuff like "Games" is execution porn, so it all evens out, I suppose, but I wonder, if porn consumption hit a high when the Ozark Mafia was in DC, does this mean it's hit a low due to the prissiness of the Choom Gang because, whatever else they are, sexy ain't it.

Leland said...

The statistics only make sense if viewership drops only against Game of Thrones and that Pornhub is correct that nearly the entirety of the US adult population would otherwise be visiting their site. Not saying Pornhubs statistics are as real as the boobs on their site, but "Aliens".

Leland said...

Perhaps Pornhub has the same number of real female membership as Ashley Madison.

Porn lacks the big budget and CGI fireworks of GOT but has the advantage of at least some character development, acting (oh yeah, baby), and plot. There are some really good actors on GOT but they have no real opportunity to act. A lot of the dialogue is expository and wooden and all they're left to do is have a reaction shot, raise their eyebrows, side-eye, react in horror to a CGI beheading or a dragon or whatever, etc., the most basic indicators of feeling, all while being decorative in the foreground of the amazing CGI shot. You don't linger in any one storyline very long because if you do you start wondering why anyone cares what happens.

"Game of Thrones" has jumped the shark. Or maybe the Dragon.

George Rape Rape Martin is the Quentin Tarrentino of fantasy fiction.

The "Lord of the Rings" managed to do a great job without the depredation, incest and bestiality of this dreck.

Troop,

The core of GoT is the fallout from a discovered incestuous relationship. LoTR was a totally different story of high fantasy. GoT isn't.

Shouting Thomas said...

Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest.

You have six other days for whacking it to porn, America!

Methadras said...

Actually Saturday is the day of rest. I have to figure out how sunday became that day?

I'm skeptical. Are 4% of porn hub customers HBO subscribers?.......GOT borrows freely from western mythology, tradition, history, epics, et al. and all. Last week's episode they did Little Eva on the ice floe. No one has seen that trope in a while so it probably looked original......The series vaguely refers to actual historical events and characters and puts them in the blender with mythic figures for a fruit smoothie. The trouble with the historical figures of Genghis Khan, the Borgias, St Francis, and Willam Wallace is that they rarely interacted and engaged in mortal combat with each other, much less dragons, witches, and knights of the round table.. This series addresses that deficit. It's like Batman vs. Superman for the post grads.

Trooper York said...

Oh I know Meth. I have read both series. The difference between the two stories is talent.

George Rape Rape Martin is a hack and a dedicated foe of the Rabid Puppies who must be shamed at every opportunity. We need to turn their bullshit back on them.

Just got back from Vegas. We love the city, the consummate vulgar America. I would not be surprised to see Pete Rose doing porn. We stayed @ The Delano which is part of the Mandalay Bay complex. Pete is associated w/ Mandalay Bay. A few years ago we saw Pete @ the Mandalay Bay Sports Book betting on baseball and horses. Yesterday I was walking through the Mandalay Bay Shoppes and saw Pete @ a music store signing autographs. He has huge man boobs and looks horrible. I was by myself on my way to roll some dice. But, my bride is fascinated w/ this Shakespearean tragedy. I called her and told her. She went to the store and shot some photos. One is of him counting his cash. He's there, 5 hours daily, doing anything for cash. I could see him doing porn. But w/ all the steroids and speed he's done they will need a spelunker to find his schlong.

Nobody would pay to see Charlie Hustler run at a street walker

Gambling is a terrible addiction. It can be just as bad as drugs or alcohol.

My brother and I spent some time with Pete about twenty years ago in Cooperstown during induction weekend. He was holding court at the bar. Not at the main hotel where all the baseball people were but at a dive bar in town. He was a hell of conversationalist. Talked mostly about baseball.

He would make a great reality show. Sort of what you would have gotten with Ty Cobb. I would watch it. I think a lot of baseball fans would.

ndspinelli said...

I would give a Pete Rose reality show a shot. All these contrived freak show people. Here is a Shakespearean tragedy. The fucking degenerate gambler lives in Vegas. The fucker lost EVERYTHING because of gambling and he's still living in Vegas, signing autographs for cash only, and betting @ the sports book. I'm sure I would get sick of watching Pete. He was a disaster doing the studio show for Fox last postseason. But, he looked engaging as he signed and posed for cash. If he's offered cheap to decent money for a reality show I bet the fucking loser would jump @ it. Fuck, Rich Little was playing @ the Tropicana. Have a show where Pete goes to see Rich Little. Pia Zadora plays @ Piero's, an Italian restaurant where the flick Casino was filmed. There's another show, Pete signs Pia's left tit for $25. My thoughts on reality TV is well established. But, I'm intellectually honest and have true self esteem. I can try new things. Admit I'm wrong. I'm not some internet persona shilling shit. I'm Nick Spinelli. Just a guy trying to have honest conversations w/ people, not reality TV show characters and propagandists.

Trooper York said...

To first step is admitting you have a problem.

rcocean said...

Pete Rose is 75 F'n years old. He ain't changing. No one put a gun to his head and forced him to gamble or live the life he's lived.

He's probably happy doing it. Otherwise, he'd stop.

ndspinelli said...

rcocean, I agree w/ most of what you said. If the degenerate gambler would just STFU and stop whining like degenerate gamblers all do, then I would say to each their own. But the man boobed, loser and all his idiotic fans keep trying to sell that he should be in the Hall of Fame and he didn't do anything wrong. They are wrong on both counts.

ndspinelli said...

LOL. I see Freud working @ 1:57a. The truth always surfaces in the early morning hours when one can't sleep.

Trooper York said...

That's true. It's good that you can admit it buddy. Now you can go around making amends.

ndspinelli said...

I'm never awake @ 2a. Unless I'm on grandchild duty.

ndspinelli said...

With all the sports figures, celebrities, and freak show people in Vegas, the producers would not even have to create scenes. See, even someone w/ contempt for this genre could produce reality garbage. A fucking monkey could do it. Actually, wasn't Lancelot Link one of the first Reality TV shows?

Trooper York said...

I am always awake until 3am. But that is because the store is often open until 9pm. Then we get home and maybe we don't get to eat until 11pm. So you can't go right to sleep on a full stomach. It is the night shift.

That is when I do my most creative stuff.

Trooper York said...

The fact is reality shows can be very interesting. It all depends on your interests. There are bar makeover shows. Shows about Pawn shops. Duck callers. Trailer park people. Wedding dresses. Tattoos. Travel like that douche Bourdain. There are an infinite variety.

It is only limited by you interests. If you aren't curious and know it all already then of course a show about some esoteric subject won't interest you.

ndspinelli said...

I'm incredibly curious. I just have no interest in contrived trash. One of the most fascinating aspects of my job was learning about all different stuff. I have immersed myself in manufacturing working product liability cases. I have learned a lot about medicine working med malpractice cases. Arson cases have taught me much about fire, building structures. Roof collapse cases have taught me much about architecture. In just the last year I have been learning about the incredible abuses in FMLA and have worked cases involving FMLA fraud. I could go on. It's odd, you whined and ranted about the assholes producing your show and told us how they contrived and manipulated. Yet, you are a huckster for this fucking garbage trying to convince people it is a treasure trove of knowledge. I will get my reality from the real world. Not some shithead producer of garbage.

Trooper York said...

Listen I thought the people doing my show were morons. But maybe people enjoyed it and learned from it. They came to the store and spent money and felt better about themselves. I get emails and meet new ones all the time. I just thought it could have been so much better.

I am sure that the people in many of these reality shows feel the same way. Unless you have full control like the Duck Dynasty guys you are at the mercy of the producers. But you can still separate the wheat from the chaff and learn about new things if you pay attention and have half a brain and are not a judgmental know it all.

So I get why they don't work for you.
