Internet Access More Important than Sex

I found this information on MediaPost News. Nearly half of women (46%) and 30% of men would rather go without sex for two weeks than give up Internet access for the same amount of time, according to a recent study conducted by Harris Interactive and sponsored by Intel. The study, "Internet Reliance in Today's Economy" reveals that 52% of women ages 35 to 44 and 49% of women ages 18 to 34 were more likely to say they would give up sex, compared with 39% of men ages 18 to 34.
Among the 2,119 U.S. adults who participated last month in the online survey, 65% believe they cannot live without Internet access, and 71% said it is important or very important to have Internet-enabled devices, such as laptops and mobile Internet devices that can search the Internet and provide real-time updates on important issues.
What this says about our society - you make your own judgement.

Redskins stink

Another year of watching the Redskins and another year of disappointments. They played well this year against good teams and crappy against bad teams. Today, they fell behind the Bengals by 17 points in the first half and never recovered. Is it Spring Training yet?
