Only 3 ZIP codes in America without any Ashley Madison accounts

One of the reasons why the Ashley Madison hack has swept through the United States' imagination to such a profound degree is how all-encompassing it seemed. The hack clawed its way into communities all across the country — well, not quite every community.
Gawker’s Gabrielle Bluestone has uncovered that there are precisely three ZIP codes across the country that have no record of Ashley Madison users. That’s ZIP codes, not area codes. And what do they have in common? They're partially lacking two things: the internet and a large amount of people.

Gawker’s discovery highlights a pretty dark truth. These three ZIP codes are probably the only ones in the United States that don't house spouses looking to cheat — at least not by using Ashley Madison.

After the bumper crop of tut-tuts and finger-waggers I've seen on the AM threads here, it seems that times have changed.

Peoples' marriages and sex lives are THEIR business, not anyone else's.

their marriages and sex lives can be theirs, as soon as they stop demanding that we all obey their sex/marriage rules. hypocrites deserve what they get

It applies to all, or it will quickly apply to none. Hypocrisy is not a disqualifier. That makes it quite similar to the right of free speech.

Meanwhile, I hear the stereotype here all the time about wingnut demands on sex/marriage rules, but despite my quite unusual choices and behaviors, have never had a wingnut make demands on me regarding my mores. And believe me, they are in plentiful supply around me.

Back to my main point. The right to privacy does not apply only to those we deem worthy of it.

should be interesting. Bob Livingstone, Newt Gingrich, and Larry Craig would be proud of their hypocrite followers.
