Amusing Untruth of the Day

From Jeffrey Dean, an author who unblushingly describes himself as "an authority on teens and teen culture":

"The revenue of the pornography industry is larger than the revenues of the top technology companies combined: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo!, Apple, Netflix, and EarthLink."

Uh, no, it's not. By a factor of oh, maybe a thousand.

And how the heck did EarthLink get in there? Oh well, he's an authority, so I guess he must know something I don't.
