Pornography gets a bad rap from a lot of society but it does so much good…where else would balloon chested women with hideous tattoos be able to carve out a living and get money for their cocaine without it? But here’s one usage of pornography you might not have been aware of…getting a kid in China into college.

A college student in China who said his studies suffered after he discovered Internet porn has been awarded 10,000 Yuan ($1,466) for helping the government crack down on sexual content online.

The unidentified student at an unnamed college in northern Shanxi province reported 32 websites that contained pornography, winning a nationwide contest that has encouraged web-surfers to hunt down porn, state media said Monday.

“In the past, when I was in middle school, I used to get grades that were good enough to enter a really good university,” the Beijing News quoted the young man as saying. “It is because of the influence of pornography on the Internet that I was only able to go to junior college,” said the student.
