The Internet is for Porn

Government study: Internet 1 percent porn. Did anybody else read this article and think, "Only one percent?!"

Wow... that must mean that the Net is incomprehesibly HUGE -- not sure if I can wrap my head around that one!

(For those not familiar with the title song of the discussion: Internet is for porn)

Golly. That must means that I have a real knack for accidentally hitting the 1% of those sites when I'm trying to do a regular search. :)

Accidentally being the word I will stress. ACCIDENTALLY!

Wlle, only one percent of sites listed via search engines, at any rate. Wonder if they remembered to turn off "SafeSearch."

Oy, I've experienced that unpleasant moment of panic at work when you're searching for an image and stumble across pornographic imagery across your screen and scramble to close your browser. You get it closed before anyone sees it, but for a moment you wonder if you're going to hear about this in three months in a very serious discussion with Human Resources.

Early on internet porn had camped out at a number of almost websites www.whitehouse.com and the one that got me with a typo www.microdoft.com. My boss was standing behind me when I hit "d" instead of "s" and like a thousand pop-ups filled the screen all porn related. Thankfully he had recently made a similar mistake so it was funny instead of scary. I had to reboot to clear the screen it was so bad. These days the firewalls are so bad that inocent searches set off alarms and garner phonecalls. Though a favorite work gag is to search for photos of Justin Timberlake naked on anyone's computer if they walk away logged in.....
