- Saintlink, on 10/12/2007, -7/+142It would appear that nearly all, or at least a large majority of Wikipedia users are gay porn addicts?

Let the accusations begin! - TechnoGuyRob, on 10/12/2007, -3/+129Why the hell would anyone look for porn on Wikipedia?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+121What the hell is with six?
- mozzep, on 10/12/2007, -2/+81now you're all going to view that gay porn page to see what makes it so great, and it will rise even higher. pretty soon it will be 2 and everyone will be REALLY confused.
- TechnoGuyRob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+79Ah, the fine academic nature of Wikipedia being used for significant, independent...research.
- MrBabyMan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+79I think there's something particularly telling in how #12 snuck its way in the middle of the rest of this list.

- hehe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+68This list proves just how perverted the world is. Well, the internet-savvy world, at least.
- netdroid9, on 10/12/2007, -4/+59666. Michael J. Fox
I *knew* time-travel was the devil's toy... - mozzep, on 10/12/2007, -3/+56This is only accurate for the past 2 days. I really doubt Pluto would have been so high if this was inclusive for all time.
- DarthTurducken, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52It's official! Colbert is more popular than oral sex!
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -3/+51lmao at Eric Clapton. That said, this is a very, very depressing list :S
- SpeckledJim, on 10/12/2007, -3/+47"This list proves just how perverted the world is."
When enough people are doing it, it stops being perverted and becomes normal. Unless we're talking about pro wrestling of course - that's just sick. - vdxc, on 09/29/2008, -8/+487500 ± 208% 0.0381% 45. PlayStation 3
15500 ± 145% 0.0787% 5. Wii
clearly more interest in the Wii then the PS3; interesting to see. digg++ - Player0ne, on 10/12/2007, -1/+366th what about 5th???
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+39Yeah its shockingly stupid.
I bet there are perverts who search for porn at thefreedictionary.com. - SweeterThnEqual, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32It's funny how most of those are raunchy, and then there are things like Pokemon and the Republic of Macedonia thrown in there. Hopefully wikipedia is used for some more academic type purposes as well!
- Arkonnan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+32These are most likely the same retards who jerk-off to National Geographic magazines or Sears catalogs because they're so desperate for porn that they'll take it any way they can get it.
- TechnoGuyRob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Top 1000 list:
http://tools.wikimedia.de/%7Eleon/stats/wikicharts/index.php?ns=articles&limit=1000&wiki=enwiki - bfkennedy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27Note concerning tool results: "Statistics have been running for 2 days. This tool is still being tested. Some of the results may be false or misleading!"
A two-day sample does not seem very significant. - lagnut, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25don't spam digg
- stevenk87, on 10/12/2007, -9/+29Wow...you know I was really interested to know this stuff, but when you look at the actual data and see things like "gay porn stars" near the top...you kinda wish you weren't exposed to it.
- transeunte, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21Why? You like, gay and stuff now?
- rokka, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24Surprisingly Linkin Park beat Anal sex. I'd have had it the other way...
- AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19If that list is at all accurate, I fear for humanity.
- rmqjr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14...or how prudish people are about sex.
- jeriqo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14It's not top searches but top visited pages, so google got them on wikipedia.
- theprez, on 10/12/2007, -11/+23That could be because "everybody" knows what a Playstation 3 is. There are more people who probably want to find out what the hell a Wii is or why it's called that way.
- vbsurfer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15This shows you the internets true nature.
- groovepapa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Sadly, I bet the sex articles are the ones that stay near the top in the long run.
- liquidat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15It's interesting that most people call it "porn" when people search for sex related topics. Besides probably the lists of porn stars, could this also be the result of a non existing or very insufficient sex education?
As a side note, the German Wikipedia does not list so many sex related topics in the top 100 articles (and yes, countries like Austria or Germany have a comparable good sex education).
And there are no "List of * porn stars" in the top 100 German Wikipedia. Though, there is the "list of dog breeds" on #17, which is also a bit confusing ... ;) - centralscrutiny, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13There was probably a story or some blog post on a porn star. I end up on weird pages like that all the time on Wikipedia. I even ended up on the gay porn stars page one time after watching Wonderland and looking up John Holmes.
- Leo21k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9My bet is its kids who have porn sites blocked from their computers so they try and find pictures of naked women on wikipedia.
I remember looking up Sex in the dictionary when I was 8. - richienz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I would say that most of these pages are popular because they rank well on Google for a popular search keyword.
For instance if you search for "Linkin Park" on Google then the Wikipedia page ranks higher than the Linkin Park official website.
Most of the these Wikipedia pages rank in the top 3 under the corresponding Google search results. - SpeckledJim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10If a "How to kill your wife" article existed you can bet it would be way up there. ;)
- espyrian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7It's like when you find a dictionary and the first thing you do, to see how good it is, is look up all the swear words. I mean, you all do that too, right?
- FatNerd, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Out of all the TV shows in all the world, how the hell does Neighbours make it in there?
- JohnboiWaltune, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Duh, sex is the most important thing people do... you probably didn't learn this in sex ed, but it's how new humans are created to replace those who die.
- ganlet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Keep in mind its only a two day sample, so it reflects current trends.
- noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7It's still pretty popular in Australia and the UK; though it doesn't explain why even more popular/widespread shows aren't in there. (I posted about this elsewhere, had I noticed your message first, I'd have put it in this reply).
- b-dizzle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Flight 5191 (#6 when I checked) crashed at Louisville airport yesterday. Personally, I don't get my news from Wikipedia, but it looks like a lot of other people do.
- DeepFreezed, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7ohh I see, Sex research is going well.
Any major break through yet? - SpeckledJim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"just keep in mind no other species on this planet besides humans practice religion"
The capacity for mass delusion is something to be proud of? I'd rather sling poo, thank you. - noGoodNamesLeft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I have to admit that I sometimes look up obscure/strange stuff in Wikipedia *just to see if it's there*, or if someone has actually created an article for it. Frequently, I'm surprised that they have...
And sometimes I do use Wikipedia as a search engine, because I know that it's likely to have the information I was looking for in one place, without having to go through pages of Google search results which might or might not be useful. - qwertydvorak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8i was hoping to see elephants somewhere just below stephen colbert in the list.
- AaronMT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Well it's nice to know that people are researching about the C programming lanaguage.
- vuke69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5ianjones~
You are aware that the only reason we are here is to have sex and reproduce, right?
Everything else we do, is only to further the above goal.
Oh wait, you probably wouldn't understand that because it doesn't say so in your bible.
Why do people act like sex isn't the single most natural thing in the world? - foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This is stupid. I vote we just not have any kids, let the human race die out, and give something else a chance.....
- bkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5This reminds me of Office Space except instead of looking up money laundering in the dictionary; people are looking up sex in the encyclopedia...because that's the best place to find porn, obviously.
- tybris, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12nothing surprising...
wait a sec... kids still watch digimon? -
