Crossword clue help internet search sparks porn deluge

A great-grandfather was left shaken after he was bombarded with porn when he looked for help with a crossword clue on the internet.

Retired engineer Jack Sedgewick, 89, typed “Wild Asian ass” into a search engine and was given links to dozens of images of naked women.



Jack, from Basingstoke, Hants, clicked through a number of sites trying to find the answer but was stunned at the results. He said: “I have been left shaken by the whole experience. I did not even know this sort of stuff existed.”

Jack, who was at home with wife Hilda, 86, finally found the answer, “onager”, by changing his search to “donkey sanctuaries”.

An old man is shocked to find porn on the internet? Someone must have shouted "Stop the presses!" for this.

At least he only got the links!  Can you imagine if it was 10 years ago and he got caught in a pop-up pornado?

Let's just say that one time I was looking for a picture to put as my office computer's wallpaper.  I searched for "animal pictures."  Bad, bad, bad.  :-P

"Wild Asian ass"?  You'd have to have been living under a rock not to know that Googling that is going to give you a lot to look at...

Although I don't think he was using Google.  I just tried it, and the first hit that comes up is the Wikipedia entry for "onager".

Hahaha!

Yes, those were the days.

I don't miss what could easily become pop-up hell, mind.

I can only assume he was accidently searching the images with SafeSearch turned off.

Very NSFW!
