WARNING:DO NOT TOUCH

THE "NEXT BLOG >>" BUTTON!!!!!!!

Last night after I ran a trillion errands and helped Rob get the kids in bed, I decided to check out my regular blogs. Since I had already read most of the posts, it occurred to me that I might "surf" blogs. So I clicked the "Next Blog" button.

At first I was just amazed to see how many bloggers there are in Brazil. I saw some college and highschool kid bllogs that were ..well I moved on. Then I found an Anti-Bush blog that turned my stomach. They were really mean. Instead of leaving a snide comment (like those left by some Anons I have read lately) I just decided to silently "Next Blog" on. At that point, I now wish I had returned to my beloved blog family and just re-read old post. But alas, I did not. I had no idea what was in store for me as I moved the mouse towards the NEXT BLOG button ...click . . .

FREE GAY PORN! That is the next blog I stumbled on. YIKES! And this wasn't just a pro-homosexual blog, this was an "In your face, Let us show you how, We're gay and we want you!" type blog. Within 5 seconds whatever powered this site had managed to beat-up my pop-up blocker and before I could say gem-men-nee, two ugly necked gay men in "the act" were staring me in the face! SO GROASE! The pop-ups just kept coming. I am warped for life.

I think I suffered a mild stroke as I tried to shut the pop-ups down. These X-rated , no make that XXX-rated, pop-ups did not have close buttons. Really! Is that internet legal?! Finally, like a heart attack victim trying to break open a bottle of try-glycerin, I turned my computer off completely. I knew it could crash the disk and that windows would scold me once I (if I ever again) turned the computer on, but I did not care.


Seriously, I almost felt molested. My first thought was to erase all the history, cookies, and temporary files so that those awful pop-ups would not come back. I wanted Rob to do it, but he was asleep. If he hadn't had a paper route to get up and throw, I would have waked him. I decided to wait until daylight to deal with my gay demon possesed computer again. My Gateway has since been cleansed. Truly, it was an awful and frightening experience. Oh to have been a fly on my wall watching me flail as I tried to stop those pop-ups. I'm sure it was quite a show!

Last night I had to put the whole thing out of my mind, but it was not easy. Even as I type this today, it sickens me. I will don't know if I'll ever touch the "Next Blog" button again. I have parental controls, a pop-up blocker, an integrity filter and many fail safes on my computer but, somehow none of that kept those awful pictures from poping up on my screen. I would report the blog site but I can't because I have erased all traces of it(I HOPE) from my computer. Sort of makes me wonder if we need internet police!


I guess I lead a sheltered life. THANK YOU FOR THAT SHELTER! Evil is alive and well and out there in forms I don't want to imagine. AND It is recruiting! The battle is real. I said a prayer for all the lost soles caught in a lifestyle that craves porn... any kind of porn, before I went to bed last night. For some reason I wonder if the two young men I saw pictured have mothers who know what they are doing. I can not imagine the emptiness they must have inside to let their bodies be exposed and trashed that way. Really it is very sad.

I want to move on to happy thoughts now but I had to warn you DO NOT TOUCH THAT "NEXT BLOG" BUTTON!

Maybe I should have put a "Rant and Rave" warning on this post!

Well, I've touched the "next blog" button many times and never come across anything like that, fortunately. It's hard to get those images out of your mind once you've seen them, isn't it? Remember that, when the time comes to teach your children WHY they need to protect what their eyes see. The available images are only going to get worse as the years go on, is my guess, if they can get any worse than what's already out there. God, help us prepare them and teach them. God, keep them safe! And Lord, help Stephanie's memories of those images be wiped away -- replace them quickly with your beauty and your purity.

Back to cutting in with my tinted primer!!

I too have used the next blog button with bad results, but nothing like this. I did do a search for panty hose one time that led me through a similar ordeal. I was at work and was humiliated by the endless barrage of pop-ups. Satan's devices are strong, even in cyber space.

OH MY GOSH! I had pushed that button a few times and mostly found the teen stuff like you mentioned. I never saw gay porn! I did not think about someone blogging THAT. EEEEWWWWW! I will not be going to the next blog again. Sorry you had to go through that. By the way, I posted on my blog again, finally.
