And for any of you who work in any kind of office with more than a couple of
people, ask the systems administrator - probably around 65% of the computers
in the office have had the type of images he is commenting on downloaded to
them. Probably a much higher percentage to home computers.

To me, part of the commentary he is making goes something like "if you think
this is sick, gross or disgusting, about 65% of the people you know look at
it regularly on the privacy of their own computers" It's what keeps the
internet running and makes more money than ebay.
