Phone Books In The Bahamas Point To Porn
from the oooops dept
Apparently the new phone books in the Bahamas have a URL on the front that points to a popular porn site. They've now had to do a very costly recall of every phone book, so that workers can cross the URL out with a black marker. It's also turned into a huge policitical scandal as the opposition party to the party that controls the phone company is suggesting (of course) that this just shows what sort of image that party is trying to pass on the public. Aren't politicians great? They still haven't figured out how the URL got onto the phone books.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
