Not wishing to interrupt the bickering about whether children watching people fisting each other is a good or bad idea but you could try:
Squid + SquidGuard + Whatever lists you want from http://dsi.ut-capitole.fr/blacklists/

1) People DON'T trust Windows apps like the used to... they're skeptical about viruses."

I'm sure your Wi-Fi is now completely safe from NSA snooping.

If their results can be bought, Microsoft would have bought them.
Who's this Linux Torvalds guy?
Somebody get Soulxkill his coffee.
"I greatly prefer in Apple's way of doing this compared to Google's"
Really?? We'd never have guessed. You're usually so reticent to vocalise your opinion about google/apple.
You must have very specific interests if you need google to find porn on the internet... that or you're just being a massive drama queen.
Or as Mahatma Gandhi put it when asked "What do you think of Western civilisation?"
"I think it would be a very good idea."

Microsoft logic at its finest.
"I thought people on this site were supposed to know something about computers."

Looks like those Duke boys have got the sheriff in a whole mess o' trouble.
I'm sure it's a very exciting life being a mild mannered slashdot poster by day and fighting crime at night but it's not for everyone.

Didn't Microsoft buy Snype recently?
You're never gonna give this up are you Rik?
8 results actually. Did you forget your quotes? Half of those results were irrelevant.
"Yeah just like the corporations made "easy money" by sucking 1500 billion from the Taypayer Treasury."
Where did the Tapirs get all that money? The sneaky little buggers.
This was modded informative?
Has someone given Gartner mod points?
