Thanks so much, CNN - I've now viewed porn on my office computer.

http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/12/12/paris.gay.ap/index.html

An article about “Gay Paree”, or how the city of Paris, France is courting gay American tourists. I suppose my workplace is pretty tolerant, and I read this article with no shame or embarrassment or fear of inappropriate work computer use.

Then I innocently clicked on the “Related” link, which was labeled “Gay Paris.” I figured it would be a Time magazine article; those related links usually are.

Well, it wasn’t. It was a tourist website (www dot gay hyphen paris dot net/en_index dot htm) which, on the very front page, featured Big Hard Cocks In Action.

My blood ran cold. I closed the window pretty fast; I’m not sure yet if I was fast enough. I guess I’ll find out.

Well, great. I AM gay, by the way, and I’m not an anti-porn crusader or anything, but for corn’s sake. I’m at work, I’m reading cnn.com, and the next thing I know, I’ve committed a fireable offense. Damn them. That’s why I broke the link above; it’s definitely not work-appropriate.

Think of the cow-orkers, people. CNN. Sheesh.

:confused:

I clicked the “Gay Paris” link on the CNN page, and got a normal-looking page. Only pics were of the Eiffel Tower at night and a small banner with a pic of a guy wearing boxers. Other than that, there’s a “Gay Paris” logo, a navigation bar, some text about gay tourism, a weather report, and a hotel ad. The URL matches the broken one you gave above. No Big Hard Cocks to be seen.

Did the link get hacked?

Well, OK. I reloaded, and it turns out that the Young Boxers Guy banner changes into Big Hot Cocks eventually.

Yeah, what’s with that?

Let’s not drag a perfectly innocent vegetable into this.

E-Mail CNN. They probably didn’t notice.

6

It’s a pornographic banner ad. Refresh the page a few times and watch the banner ad at the bottom change. You’ll see the Big Hard Cocks In Action.

7

ummmm…no thanks :slight_smile:

8

Stupid poultry.

I didn’t even realize it was a banner ad, and that it changed back and forth from Big Hard Cocks to Not- Big Hard Cocks. You’re right, probably CNN didn’t even notice, although I’m sure my email, if I sent one, wouldn’t be the first to reach them. I expect the link to be removed by mid-day.

I just clicked the link, scrolled down a bit, and just about fell out of my chair. Cocks, cocks everywhere. I just wasn’t prepared for it! :eek:

10

Is anyone ever really prepared for wall to wall cocks?

“A complete on-line guide of Paris and its gay and lesbian community”…

Yeah, now the banner ad is for Black Stallions dot com, “#1 Gay Interracial site” and it shows an erect penis.
I’m emailing cnn.com, too. This has to be a colossal screwup on their part. And I’m sending it under “notice any errors on our website?” 'cause I bet they’re more likely to have someone monitoring that than just comments in general.

And for the same reason, I put it under “technical” and put the URL of the cnn article.

12

I’m not sure if I’m really prepared for it, but I certainly think about it.

13

And not a drop to drink.

:smiley:

Funny, I was reading that article while I was waiting for the thread to load.

Hastur I think S.T. originally wrote:
