...on the internet

I guess it's stating the obvious but sometimes I worry about what can be viewed on the internet.

After a little joke at work today(the background doesn't matter) I went to google.co.uk (shameless plug there!) and did an image search for 'Kaliber', a low-alcohol bottled beer, for the logo.

What surprised me was what the search also brought up - naked ladies modelling a gun, obviously called a Kaliber. Bare naked, breasts clearly on show and only the gun covering certain other body parts.

You might just dismiss me as a prude but let me explain further. Those sort of images do not bother me in the slightest, I'm more concerned with the fact that blatant pornographic images can be found when searching for something totally harmless. Imagine if your 10 year old son did a search for 'Ferrari' and found pictures of half naked women draping themselves over the latest car. Imagine if your 13 year old daughter did a search for 'Horses' and was faced with various bestiality images? (I haven't tried those 2 by the way)

And don't try the whole "Safe Search" defence...
