Hi Ladies,
I think I'm scarred for life. I'm not really even kidding. Yesterday I was perusing a baking blog I just started visiting a few months ago. Totally sweet, lovely little baked goods. Not always my taste, but I get some fun ideas and just recently made this person's Red Velvet Cream Cheese Brownies. They were delish. But I digress. So I'm scrolling through the recipe index of this blog and I keep hitting the "Next" button. Well, I hit "Next" and this crazy P-O-R-N site pops up. I literally popped up and I don't even know what I hit to get out of it. But when I did, I was immediately back on this lovely little baking blog site. I was looking at the ads that ran on the side of the recipe index and they're all legit--Pottery Barn, Williams-Sonoma, I think a Hertz Rental Car one. Nothing weird, nothing that didn't look legit. I do not consider myself a prude, but this was shocking! It was a page of badness I will never be able to UN-see. My DH (who doesn't watch this stuff-really) said it happened to him once at work--some crazy site popped up, seemingly out of no where. My DH said that sometimes, depending upon the blog platform, these sites are easy for people to hack. And if they were trying to juxtopose (sp?) something sordid in between recipes for banana bread and brownies, they sure did!
Has this ever happened to you?
Signed,
Scarred for Life.
