OLPC Used to Browse Porn

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the extracurricular-activities dept.

youthoftoday writes "The OLPC project to bring the internet to third world has worked well — too well, it seems. Yahoo reports that Nigerian Children are already using the OLPC to browse for porn." This is why as kids we couldn't look at National Geographic issues without being supervised. A rep from OLPC said, understandably, that the laptops would now be fitted with filters.

      Yes we HAD brought the joys of the internet to the less fortunate.
      It's not fair.
      These fortunate black males will now also see ads for penis enlargers. We will never be able to catch up with them... ever.

    Americans looked at naked Africans as kids, so African kids should be able to look at naked Americans now.

  5. Porn is inevitable by Shabbs · · Score: 5, Funny

    No matter where you go on the 'net, chances are you're going to hit some kind of porn sooner or later whether you meant to or not. Since these were originally destined for children, I'm surprised they did NOT come equipped with filters from the start. A big oversight for sure.

    OLPC Project: "Here children, I give you THE INTERNET... totally unfiltered. Enjoy."

    [5 minutes later...]

    Children: "What is Goatse?"

    Sigh...

    Get those filters on!

    That is, on the black women, on the white women their brests were digitally obscured.

    So whose fingers were being used to cover the breasts?

    That just gave me an idea that will make me richer than Bill Gates and cure the energy crisis at the same time.

    I'll build a device that goes on a man's cock and generates electricity by an up and down motion.
