Legal pornography?

So…anyone know why, on the new Google Local search, when you do a search for “porn” and your zip code, you get a bunch of results for lawyers?

  1. Well, here’s one for you - I typed “porn” and 98136 and got a list of lawyers - like you did - so I typed “pornography” and 98136 and got a list of service organizations like the Salvation Army, White Center Corps, etc. If you’re just out for the simple “porn” you’ll get legal help but if you into real “pornograpy” you’ll get social help.

    Why a porn query leads to lawyers ?

    Maybe because if you hire a lawyer, you know that he is going to screw you ???? :o)
