It doesn't change a genius to figure out how to change your location in Bing. (I'm posting from the UK, and I just switched to Bing India to check it out.) In order to prevent people in India from searching for "sex", they would have to eliminate the choice to switch to another location.

I wonder how much of this is due to pressure from management. How many times has a journalist said, I'm going to need x hours and $y to fully research this and verify all the details and is told "Nonsense! Go look it up in Wikipedia and have a report ready in an hour." I've worked in market research for the past few years. There have been times when management has asked me for an answer NOW and wouldn't listen when I told them that the data needs further verification, more research needs to be commissioned, etc. So unfortunately, strategic decisions get made on the basis of flimsy, unsubstantiated information because researchers want to keep their jobs. I imagine similar things can happen in the world of journalism.

How often do people marry their friends? Most of the married couples that I know, including my husband and myself, started out as friends. If all of the married couples you know got married because of something other than friendship, than the problem isn't the nature of marriage but the nature of the people you associate with.
