“According to Vianna’s research, there are no significant patterns relating to the viewing behavior of those accessing the picture except that the majority of the traffic usually comes late at night. And, though web-usage reports indicate that the naked woman picture interests people of all ages, income brackets, and ethnic backgrounds, there is no evidence that the photo has ever been shared with viewers’ family members or coworkers, or featured in a CNN.com photojournalism slide show.
‘It appears as if every one of yesterday’s 27,430 viewers accessed this specific portrait independently of one another, and may even have searched for it intentionally,’ Vianna said. ‘What could have driven them all to seek out this particular photo of an anonymous, undressed woman? We may never know.”…
…’No one really understands why these things catch on,’ Ziarko said. ‘Like the Hamster Dance website from a few years back or the recent interest in LOLCats, there is some intangible quality about this photo that thousands of otherwise-normal people find captivating. Maybe the fact that it is in such sharp focus.’“
once again – thanks Onion
No wonder you labelled it ‘Wacky’!
What – a – surprise.
The idea that Met-Art who do some of the best nude photography anywhere on the ‘Net have full frontal nudes is news?!?
If people go to the website shown in the address bar you’ll MANY MANY more even better images
Love The Onion. Very funny satire. :)
You do realise it’s a satirical site, right? Similar to The Daily Mash.
“People will very quickly get bored with the constant barrage of bare breasts and vaginas.”
You just have to love The Onion.
Meh … got something for lots of tastes. You want the vadge, got that in view. Like the breasts, got that. Want to think about a blowjob — she’s got the bee stung lips and interesting eyes.
Not exactly smitten with her … but she’s interesting looking.
“By next month, the Internet could be home to literally hundreds of pictures of naked women,”
a little late for that, dont ya think?
One of the previous Onion news article was:
“Porn viewers demand new orifice to stare at.”
I’ve always loved the Onion news.
