It is quite obvious that innocent googling can turn ugly in a moment. Maybe you have a sports fanatic child. The kid googles Dick's looking to pick out a new baseball glove at his favorite sports store. Yeah, that is not going to turn out good.
As sometimes I don't have pictures to go along with my blogs, google has been good to me. But, this past week it has seemed to take a turn for the worse.
I need a picture of a boy getting punished. In my head I was picturing a little boy sitting in the corner. Or, a little boy being yelled at, his mother with her finger pointed in his face. What I found was quite different. Here is a PG-rated version of what I found.
Apparently that is a boy getting punished. Not exactly the punished I was thinking of, but I guess I can see how this would also illustrate a boy getting punished. I'm sure your mind can I imagine the R and X rated versions that also appeared on the page.
Then, came my google search of teens being mischievous to illustrate the dudes I saw hiding in the park. That google search again, shocked me. There really weren't any PG, or PG-13 for that matter, pictures that I could even show to illustrate my findings. Those teens at the park were certainly mischievous, but not in the same way Mr. Google was thinking.
So, the moral of this story is be careful when googling. Watch over your children's shoulders until they are 30. Mom, where were you?
