BrenBren's Journal: Oh. My. Gosh.

I have been warned about certain sites that end with ".cx", and how they could (or would) scar me for life. I've been a good girl, and I've avoided them like the plague if I could.

Imagine my horror when I came across TubGirl... (I'll leave it to the insanely curious to work out the website address. Hint: It isn't hard to do.)

There should be a warning about things like that: "Caution: Do not follow this link right after lunch."

Ewwww.... EWWWW!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_shock_sites [wikipedia.org] ;) should help you avoid some of the more common sites

Thanks for the list.

Wikipaedia has it listed for deletion, though. That sort of information should be able to live somewhere a little more... ...permanent.

They won't delete it .. just some idiotic prudes trying to censor the internet again

It's good to have this documented somewhere, so that when new people (like me) come around, they can be warned as much as possible.

Indubitably so , it also allows us to take a more intellectual look at the sites ... Not that I actually want to see them (AGAIN) but intellectual curiosity is what it is , so I may as well read about things

You can take whatever approach you like.

Personally, I'd rather not look at them. I know where not to go, and that makes me happy. :)

I have them all blocked ;) , using my proxy (Privoxy) so even an accidental click will ensure my safety
