Good to see that Reuters relies on the same total bullshit stats about the adult internet that other media outlets do.

Online pornography is a vast industry. Figures collated by Internet Pornography Statistics suggest more than $3,000 is spent on Internet pornography every second, with "sex" the number one search term in the world, accounting for 25 percent of all Internet searches.

Riiiiight. $259,200,000.00 is being spent per
day on web-based porn. That's a totally reasonable estimate and not at all absurd.
Do journalists check facts at all any more? For that matter, do they own calculators?
