I’ve been hearing a lot about this site lately on the news.
Not sure if it’s what you’re looking for though.
:P
Have them check Jane’s guide.
They review porn sites and will let you know which ones are good about not destroying your computer. Caveat, all pay sites, but tell them they can either pay for porn or pay for you removing stuff from their computers every couple of months.
Here’s an unrelated question - how do you play swf files in the same way you would mpgs, or better yet, convert them to something like wmvs?
You can associate the SWF extension with firefox and ie and then when you click the file it just launches in the browser and plays.
I did this a few years ago when that game “Nanaca Crash” came out which was a flash file.
This thread delivers.
My favorite is kink.com. It helps that I’m personal friends with the CEO (a very nice guy). Not a trace of spyware or any other crap. High quality. Just a well run operation.
Warning: if you don’t like kinky sex (specifically, bondage type stuff), stay the hell away.
The internet is a truly wonderous place indeed.
I also like http://www.amateur-blogs.com - real people having a bit of the old in-out.

Real people? Hey! That sounds like the new paradigm in sexual voyeurism!
I thought I clicked on the Viginia Tech shooting thread and then, for a moment, wondered if the conversation had taken a truly twisted detour.
If you’ve got an issue where you need to be somewhat circumspect about your viewing habits, you may also want to check out Heatseek, a free browser software (that doesn’t record history and prohibits popups) that’s password protected and allows you to name the directory and icon something like “NFL Stats 1.0”.
Best site for this stuff. Also unlike most sites like this, it doesn’t exist just for DVD rips.
Being an IT guy, I’ve seen a lot of what Machfive descibed at the beginning of this thread. Most times, people bring me their home machines loaded down with spyware and viruses and don’t realize that the kids or the husband’s porn surfing is the culprit. Those machines are usually filled with the most godawful crap imaginable. Occasionally, someone with a “stash” will run into technical issues, and usually they’re up front about it. I think they figure “Hell, he’s an IT guy, he sees this shit all the time. He could probably give me a list of links if I asked!” (and they’d be correct).
Once I stumbled upon the holy grail, an attractive woman who brought me her ailing laptop and informed me to please “pretend you didn’t see anything that you find on there”. Seems her and her boyfriend liked to play with the digital camera. It was mostly R-rated and softcore stuff of just her. I did the right thing and gave it back without making any copies of anything. I still kick myself for that sometimes… =)
Seems to me the “right thing” would involve not actually looking at her private files in the first place. However, not to be judgmental :) I’m not claiming that I would have done the right thing in this case myself. Of all the IT people I’ve ever met (some of my best friends are in IT), I think I can perhaps imagine one of them not looking, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
Sometimes it’s literally impossible in the course of a job to avoid doing so. When performing a data transfer, for example, on a computer where the default view is thumbnail, and you’re sifting through directories trying to separate the IE thumbnails from the family photos and all of a sudden oh sweet jesus I did NOT want to see that client naked!
I wish I could say it’s never happened, but it has, more than once. Which is why my clients love me. When you can manage to be discrete and trustworthy about this stuff, your clients will be your best marketers.
Over the course of teenager-hood people should learn how to do this kind of stuff discreetly lol. I do remember having a tech-savvy friend try to find what was slowing down my dad’s computer once. He was doing a scan and was turned facing me while the scan was searching in the background. It was one of those scans that showed every single file it was going through in rapid succession. My brain had a seizure every time a file wizzed by like SEX, PENIS, or whatever the hell.
I found out I actually know ceiling cat.
Really? Do tell. I’m always curious about those meme images.
p.s. What’s up with the O RLY owl?
I always call it the O’Reilly owl. I dunno why. Maybe Cuz it reminds me of the animal woodcarvings on the cover of O’Reilly books.
