What do you call a porn-free Internet? Here, we'd say "our worst nightmare," (bad-um), but for Indonesian web surfers, they might soon have to call it "reality." That's because the world's most populous country of Muslim majority is planning on invoking an anti-pornography law to restrict any online fun smut that might soil its citizens' computers. Gatot Dewa Broto, a spokesman for Indonesia's ...

When Steve Jobs suggested that you buy Android if you want porn, we didn't think that the Google OS would make it this easy. As with the PSP and the LG Chocolate before it, one unsuspecting consumer bought an Android-powered Evo 4G that was preloaded with porn. Rhonda Lee walked into a Sprint store in Westland, Michigan (just west of Detroit), and picked up what she thought was a brand new ...

But cherubic kiddies making giraffes out of macaroni were absent from this DVD. Instead, the Hills were treated to a two-hour, ...

Playboy, which has somehow (mostly) defied the magazine apocalypse facing the rest of the print industry, has just announced a new site called The Smoking Jacket that will feature "safe for work" content. We presume that means nipples will get a cover-up via leather and/or lace, but that bosoms won't fail to appear entirely on the site -- an obvious bid to recapture the young male audience stolen ...
