I’ll second that. DO NOT click on it. And if you are in a room with other people, turn your speakers down. And if you have epileptic issues . . . I don’t know. Better safe than sorry.

But it’s really hilarious. Just wait until you get home from work to click! 😉

Does anybody remember that site that was making the rounds a couple of years ago that had some kind of completely innocent url, but when you clicked on it had pictures of men having

**ANAL SEX**

and

**FISTING**

each other, with a flashing banner that said "

**HEY EVERYBODY!!!  
I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORN!!!**

" and opened up an infinite loop of popups so that you either couldn’t get rid of it or your PC locked up with pictures of

**HOT NAKED MEN**

on the screen?

That was pretty cool.

Dear Abby,  
How should I break the news to my boss that I have been pissing in his coffee for the last three years. And while your at it, please tell me how to change font size and color in V-Bulletin.
