myspace.com
I caught the tail end of a CNN Headline News report late last night in which the anchor, in HN's new, Anderson Cooper-like breathless tones, expressed incredulity that minors using myspace.com were "only a few clicks away" from hard-core pornography. Um, is anyone ever more than a few clicks away from hard-core pornography on the Internet? Sometimes you don't even have to click; it comes to you! The amazing thing is that in 2006 some parents thought a site like myspace, with a lot of adolescent members, would somehow be "safe."
Ironically, when I searched for myspace on cnn.com, I forgot to check the "seach cnn" button, and the search brought me a whole series of ad links for myspace.com. Whoops!
