Available for over a year

Many things about pornography are exaggerated - including the statistics quoted to suggest that the internet is overrun with porn. It seems that each time the subject is debated among politicians and the media a different statistic pops up... like this one: 37% of the internet is porn. Really? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s technology correspondent Mark Ward isn't so sure. And following the arrest of one of American football's top players, Aaron Hernandez, for murder, the media in the States has been awash with editorials claiming the league has a crime problem. But is that really true? We ask USA Today sports writer Brent Schrotenboer who has compiled an NFL Arrests database.
