[Right here](http://fichtre.net/yop.html). I think this satisfies the intent of the two-click rule, with a very clever steganographic technique. ---

You’ve got to realize it’s a portmanteau of [steganography](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography) (mentioned in the OP) and pornography. So it’s apparently secret-message pornography. How we’re supposed to know how to decode it, I have no idea. ---

It’s very easy. You’ll notice that the first expression is a “.fr” website. When you go to highlight it, it doesn’t highlight properly. Basically, just highlight the entire passage, and voila! Porn (softcore)! ---

Basically, just highlight the entire passage, and voila! Porn (softcore)! Ah, that takes me back to the 1980s. I still fondly remember ASCII porn - not like I prefer it to nowadays, mind you, but nostalgia nonetheless. ---

> [@dhkendall](#): > > Ah, that takes me back to the 1980s. I still fondly remember ASCII porn - not like I prefer it to nowadays, mind you, but nostalgia nonetheless. 😃 Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. I remember a particular dot-matrix ASCII porn printout of Cheryl Tiegs that was near and dear to my heart. ---

I would not have thought of doing that. But I should have been smart enough to check the source code. I wonder if, like ASCII art, there’s an automated way of doing this. ---
