stupide survey result

While trying to avoid working on my brief, I stumbled across this little gem of a statistic: “9 in 10 kids 8-16 yrs. have viewed porn online, mostly accidentally while doing homework.” Since only the kids only “mostly” gave the ridiculous homework excuse, at least some gave the honest answer.
On a related note, I actually have stumbled across a porn site while doing homework. While in the library computer at my high school, I attempted to see if there is a “freenchrevolution.com” since I was researching the French Revolution. It instantly redirected me to a porn site, causing me to warm-boot the computer when the librarian walked by before I could close the barrage of pop-ups.

But Mom, the porn mostly comes by accident -- mostly.

No Newt, I told you, if you look at porn, aliens will kill your family. You don't want aliens to kill your family, do you?

lesson learned: never type URLs directly into the address bar. type them into google first. also, get a popup blocker, or a browser with a built in popup blocker (ahem, Firefox).

The post said I was in high school. Do you really think I'm young enough to have had google and firefox when I was in 10th friggin' grade? Ok, so maybe google's beta started that year, but I don't think Firefox was around yet.

ok, so i seemed to have skimmed over the high school part and just saw library. and knowing how you write your papers, you might have included the french revolution in a law school paper.

speaking of porn, and the french, i was complaining to my boy the other day about how modern day porn is hair-phobic, which disturbs me. it's almost like a fascination with pre-pubescent girls - the lack of curves, the hairlessness, albeit with giant fake, uhm, assets. and boy said, "oh hey! i've got some european porn! they have hair." and curves. so, my point? i don't know. maybe there's something to be said for the french revolution website.

The wife reads this and immediately starts pointing out various spelling errors. I trusted you people to show just how "stupide" I am; I don't need to have her making fun of me too.

Actually P-idoit or is it just idiot now since Diddy dropped the P did everyone?

IE 6 on SP2 for Windows XP technically has a built in pop-up blocker. While the effectiveness of either IE or FF can be questioned they both have the feature.

Why do I even bother correcting you...

Wait, I thought you intentionally spelled it "stupide" because that's the french for "stupid." You know, French Revolution, right? Right?

“Your” shows possession whereas “you’re” means “you are.” Who’s the idiot now?

but I do believe Your's point was to be assinine so I am guessing that it was on purpose...but I have been wrong before...but not often.

if the name was intended to be "though," I would be inclined to believe you. Only having the lone mistake seems unintentional.

That reminds me of that episode of Friends with the "your" / "you're" distinction and the classic line "It's not ok, it doesn't happen to every guy and it is a big deal!"
