I don't want to see porn!

I just went to Yahoo to check my mail. On the main page they had this:

Shirtless Obama causes stir
Photos of the president-elect taken during his Hawaiian holiday have the Web in a frenzy


That caught my interest, so I opened that in a separate tab. It's just a silly article about how Obama was topless on the beach (imagine that!) and someone got pictures, and how there are tons of people now looking for them online. The article ended with this:

And as for shirtless celebrities versus shirtless politicians, Obama's Web appeal runs second to "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson, thereby upholding the right and proper balance in the world.

The words "Robert Pattinson" were a link to a Yahoo search for Robert Pattinson Shirtless. I clicked on that link, then on the top result. Now that I look back, it mentioned nudity in the description, but somehow I didn't notice. And I thought you usually had to pay for things like that! Or at least have to click on links in the website. But in the upper lefthand corner of the main page there was a picture of Harry Potter actor in the buff! Full frontal nudity! Yikes!

You know, it's one thing to have stuff like that available for those that want to intentionally look at it, but those of us that don't shouldn't have to! It makes me worry for my children. :(

Yuck! I am sorry that you had to see that. I hate when things like that happen. I remember the firs time I "saw" something yucky...I got it in an email when I was 13...I was horrified.

What has the world come to?
