The link might be wrong.
All I saw was a map of Reunion with a big pineapple in the middle.

What would actually be useful would be a county-by-county map of STD rates. I'm sure the DOH keeps those stats and could generate such a map.

An ambitious person could then overlay it with maps of income, education levels, incarceration rates, etc.

10:33 -- WAY too much work. I think we all, already know the answer to the "overlay".

And we are first by a HUGE margin.

Jones County I believe leads the nation. Something to do with Tea Bagging or Tea Party or something like that. Supposedly it is rampant down there.

So we're the sluttiest and the fattest? That's a great combo.

You forgot about a educational system and test score rankings. We are not full of just fat sluts.

Slutty... Hospitality... goes hand in hand right?

No doubt that common core is part of the problem.

"Fat, slutty and stupid is no way to go thru life son"

How can this be? We have been teaching abstinence only in our schools for years.

I'd like to thanks all the ladies that I've, oh wait. This is not that kind of award?

Hmmm... I've got a lot of county-level data on MS, but not STD levels. Checked Vital Records as published by MDOH and not surprisingly that is NOT something they publish. I do, however, have a rather interesting map I ran across recently that shows Percent of Female Householders (single mothers) by census tract in each county. Anyone interested in seeing that?

Pleasures of the flesh...eating and having sex. Such a primal state we are.

6 out of top 10 are SEC schools. interesting combination

MS is also first of gay porn searches.

So we have the most repressed homosexuals in the country.

The fattest people in the country.

The sluttiest people in the country.

The dumbest people in the country.

If genetics means anything....this state is going nowhere...well...ever.

WTH am I doing here?

10:33

Can't of that. That'd be profiling… and racist.

12:41 nailed it.

We also drop our cell phones more than anyone else. Greasy fingers, I guess.

http://www.cdc.gov/std/stats12/minorities.htm STD rates are 6 to 8 TIMES higher for blacks than whites. The press will never point out our demographics nor mention race. It's Haley Barbour's fault. Right.

But... that can't be! But what about the fact that we teach abstinence only in our public schools (which is 100% proven to keep kids from having sex, by the way). They also must not be taking into account the fact that we spend our precious little state money appealing gay marriage rulings. There is nooooo way our legislation of morality is not working here! There is no way we aren't taking the right approach here. My Southern Baptist preacher said so.

What we have here is an opportunity to change the state motto again, "Mississippi, it burns when we pee!"

Please don't encourage anyone to think about changing the state flag too ..... :-)

The CDC has county level data on this. When the Delta counties are excluded, Mississippi is rather average on STD rates. That, of course, is the case for nearly every survey like this.

In addition to the delta counties, if you could also exclude Kennuff Scrotes ward the numbers would look very different.

Cholesterol would be lower.......

Sluttiest? And here I am watching porn all night.

@1:37, "Sluttiest" is not the same as "Most Desperate."

It Obama's fault!! Low morals and all.

Are there any comparative footnotes to indicate a rise in activity when the Legislature is in session?

It's important to understand the social drivers behind incident spikes. Averages are meaningless. Isolate Gomorrah, then we'll talk.
