"‘Game of Thrones’ Apparently Affects Nude Viewership Due To Its Massive Popularity"

When first seeing this headline, I wondered just how many people took their clothes off to watch Game of Thrones.  Turns out, however, that what happened is "online porn viewershipdecreased by 4% this past Sunday on April 24, 2016 during the hours before, during, and following the season 6 premiere of “Game of Thrones.” This 4% decrease is actually quite substantial in relation to the millions of people who actively consume pornographic material.
