Drogheda - Porn capital of Ireland?

    So according to the Sunday World [yes that fabulous newspaper] people in Drogheda look up porn more than anyone else in Ireland! Being from Drawda myself, find it difficult to believe that their women and men are hornier than any other town! Maybe they just get it less than any other town and are forced to go online for "cheap thrills"!!

    I'd say Steve Staunton is a horn dog.

    Steve Staunton's a Dundalk man, hi!

    OP, you may notice that when you're on any site with localised advertising that you're not always directed to companies in your immediate area, but rather a nearby town. I think sites whose ads are localised can only trace their hits to an approximate area, tracking the IP. I'm from Trim yet I often get ads on music/gaming websites that advertise "Meet Singles from Celbridge/Clondalkin/Lucan today" and I'm a half hour drive from any of those places.
    I wouldn't necessarily take it for granted that all those hits are from Drogheda folk, because Balbriggan, Skerries, Ardee, Navan and Slane probably all get thrown in the same pot by the websites who released their hit results to the SW.

    That is very true! Didn't understand about IP's and the likes a few years ago in college and almost got the fright of my life when "Looking for sex in Limerick?" came up on the screen! I was like "HOW DO THEY KNOW WHERE I AM!!!!" But yeah I agree. Unless it really is a fact that Drogheda people are just extremely randy! Fusion anyone? Or dee Eart??

    Sure the drogheda ones have to look at pr0n...they're all as ugly as sin, so looking at each other naked just doesn't do it for them.

    Either that or everyone in the town is broke and they're all googling "pawn" shops :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,013 ✭✭✭leitrim lad


    and who might have carried out this poll for the sunday world,

    wouldnt happen to be a certain pr2ck who was on the late late a few weeks ago trying to demolish the seanad

    now ian is trying to win back the support of county louth to save his waffling carreir,


    but i do however like tha accent of women from that general area

    If I lived in Drogheda I wouldn't know how to entertain myself either.

    Whoot!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,492 ✭✭✭upmeath


    It quite possibly is a ploy by the Sunday World to boost readership in that part of the country, I wouldn't put it past them. "SEE INSIDE TO FIND OUT WHICH COUNTY LOUTH TOWN IS IRELAND'S PR0N CAPITAL, HI"

    Aine Chambers is a woman from Sligo who goes around said county posing for photographics at different spots (more often than not tourist haunts) and posting her pictures online. She featured extensively on the Podge & Rodge show in their first season. I think she looks like something from a Soviet package holiday brochure. We mock that stuff when we see it coming from Belarus or the Ukraine but in fairness it's not too far removed from Borat and the like. It's low brow, low quality and dated. I sincerely hope for her sake that it's not as innocent as it looks and there's some form of tongue-in-cheek humour behind it.

    Daniel O'Donnell is to Irish men as Aine Chambers is to Irish women

    If the Sunday World says it it must be true.


    There should be a ban on topics based around that piece of clap trap.

    Twas in fusion last nite (by the way ahh my head) and have to say there does me some randy feckers on the sham town floor especially towards the end of the nite. But still I would pay no notice this nonsense. *closes browser full of porn *

    Yes but most girls prefer not to have their arse cheeks on show on the dancefloor, unlike some of the cailíní that frequent Fusion sometimes. . . .. . ... .. . ..

    That's a shame since most of the guys in Fusion would have no qualms about those same arse cheeks being on display.
    Maybe this is the reason that porn searches are peaking in the Drogheda area...not enough arse cheek on display at the local niteclub.

    Suppose they'd do for a roide for the night. Not exactly the type of girl you'd take home to meet........ anyone! Plus I think the places that arse cheeks are generally displayed go under the name of "brothel", although Fusion comes decidedly close on occasion!!

    Was that not Dundalk too? People should familiarise themselves with the geography of the Wee County. Put simply, it has 2 large towns, one at either end.

    Dundalk, to the north, gave us Steve Staunton, the kid on Sweet 16, Harp Lager and gravity hills, as well as a lot of counterfeit goods, DVDs and false proof of identity :D

    Drogheda, to the south, gave us Ian Harte, Gary Kelly, a crazy doctor and a news story claiming its the pr0n mecca of Ireland. Also located nearby will be Ireland's first incinerator, scandalous carry-on hi!

    What are you on about? Looking for any excuse to whinge about him I suppose!

    Ian O Doherty writes for the Indo, why would he be conducting a poll for the Sunday World??

    Demolish the Seanad! He was hardly there with a big bag of explosives! :D

    I assume this article was based on Google figures? Anyone know?

    Technically Drogheda gave us Steve Staunton as he was born in Our Lady of Lourdes hospital in Drogheda, the same place that mad Doctor Shine worked. Droghedians used to claim him as their own but since his stint as manager of the football team all those claims have since been given up and the blame lies entirely on Dundalk's door:D

    o great another pr2ck lover

    go join him then if you love him that much, because the rest of us are out to get him, not join him.

    and anyway this is about good looking women in drogheda, not some yupee who thinks he can waffle on about who runs the country,

    i would imagine drogheda women are ,better because of the whole smuggling thing ,and the pole is really a lie because trying to trace anything in louth is like trying to identify someone by the dirt under their nails

    Exactly!! You were the one who started ranting about it, :D , plus the thread is about Drogheda being the porn capital of Ireland, not good looking women in drogheda!

    Had a look at the Sunday World article - it seems that the basis for this claim is the amount of times people from Drogheda entered the word "porn" in Google.

    Which in fairness really just shows that they're probably not that used to surfing for porn, it's all about the niche searches folks!

    Surely, if it was the porn capital of ireland, it's be irelands leading producer of porn, not it's highest consumer of porn.

    Actually, on second thought, i prefer it this way, nobody in their right mind would want to see a drogheda woman naked.....

    Wouldn't want to get facts or common sense get in the way of a good headline though. At least it will give those who are so inclined something to be morally outraged at.

    Does anyone else ever get the feeling that the Sunday World (especially the "exposés") are designed to titillate more than anything else? Especially with the one about men on golf holidays going to hookers. It listed prices you'd be expected to pay, areas where it was most prevalent, and lots of nice pictures of the girls in revealing clothing. While the tone tried to convey moral outrage, it really felt more like they were selling it.

    There's a real double standard with papers like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,013 ✭✭✭leitrim lad


    i would say they were getting paid for the advertisement of it, and then they decided to screw the punters by doing a story on it ,to fill empty space ,

    they have alot of that lately, papers getting way smaller

    Dundalk, to the north...the kid on Sweet 16,

    Oh hell no, we're not taking ownership of that wee fruit either. He's from Blackrock, which is a whole 7 miles away from us. We will admit liability for Staunton though...and Jim Corr too I suppose.

    Having read this thread, it would appear the Sunday World has a large circulation amongst AHers. Go and read a real newspaper, not this tarted up crap and celeb goss dressed up as news, you bunch of heathens...

    7 miles? Really? Even today? Isn't Blackrock home to the world's biggest bunk bed too? I believe it's on the beach there. For such a small county Louth is seriously fcuked up. Only county in the lower 26 affected by foot and mouth, geomagnetic anomalies, crazy doctors, crazy accents, giant bunk beds, and a knack for googling pr0n?

    The town boundaries may well be blurred since bungalow blight and the craze for dormitory towns took off, but it's still about that distance from the centre of one to the other. People from the 'rock would be horrified to think that their address would show Dundalk anywhere in the title...so I'll be damned if we take the blame for the halfwit and his MTV antics
    Don't know anything about a bunkbed.
    The foot and mouth was those northern feckers and their compo culture trying to make a few quid.
    Can't argue with the rest of it...

    Don't forget, for a single county, per head, Louth has the highest rates of leukaemia and cancer in the whole of Ireland (and reportedly, Western Europe).
    All coincidence of course to the fact that directly across 90 miles away is Sellafield ("Windscale" before they tried a clean-up publicity stunt). :rolleyes:
