Okay, I got curious and took a look. The photos are of people
and their sprogs, mostly foreign, some doing ill-advised or
possibly dangerous things. At least two are bad photoshop
jobs, several are really very innocuous (a kid shooting a
pistol with adult supervision, a couple of kids playing with
sand, three kids in a towed watercraft). The only really
disturbing one is the neonazi dud with the sprog in the
swastika T-shirt.
Oh, and there's a splash ad that tries to take over your
browser when you click "close". Be careful. We could have
used a warning about that, at least, Bob.

I should have posted a squick warning. The worst for me was the kid
with the swastika T-shirt. The most depressing was the kid in the wire
wastebasket. I'm all well and good to speak about prevention of birth,
but once you're born, to be unwanted is the worst and cruelest fate of
all.

Indeed. I'm always explaining this out to the pointy-headed forced
birthers. There are things way, *way* worse than merely not existing.

I didn't see anything particularly squicky. What I suggested a
warning would have been appropriate for was the splash ad and its
attempted browser takeover.
Maybe that didn't pop up when you looked at it, though....

That didn't happen to me this time, but I have gone to similar sites
and have been redirected to a porn site. I guess my firewalls work
most but not all of the time. I would not have put up the link had I
known that some people would be hassled in this way.

I should clarify what happened on that other site, so that readers may
be warned. I stumbled across a funny T-shirt on some blog or
whatever. I wanted a clear image of that T-shirt to send by e-mail to
some friends, so I Googled the vendor of those shirts, found the
picture and tried to "copy image". I wasn't allowed. However there
was a box below the picture (as you find in most media sites nowadays)
which had two choices: "send URL" or "embed".
Since I didn't my friends to be getting spam from this outfit, I
skipped "send URL" and clicked on "embed" and was re-directed to that
porn site. So it wasn't the site itself which was at fault (they want
to sell T-shirts), but somebody may have hacked into that portion of
their page.
Just clarifying so no one freaks out.
