ok, seriously...

if i could, justin, i'd personally be like that dude in the blue fly suit in the MSN ads who follows families around to work and school and physically puts his hands over their eyes and shields them from things they shouldn't see.

i'm not saying that to be a smart-aleck. it's clear that you're a very sensitive soul and that when you're confronted with disturbing images, you not only have a very difficult time processing it, but you feel a need to completely erase from existence the possibility of anyone else having to endure the same experience you had.

and, you know, that's sweet. seriously. but it's not congruous with the way the world works. and as it exists now, the internet is an intangible or "virtual" reflection of the world. sometimes you'll walk out your door and see a horribly grizzly car accident on your street corner. that can't be moderated. it happens. it's life. sometimes you'll google "fuzzy kittens and unicorns" and the results might be gore and dwarf porn. who can predict these things? they happen.

and sad to say, no matter how much you try to push for the world to regulate the amount of bad and unjust things that exist, you'll never ever clean house completely.

and, ya know, you have to worry about your own little sphere of existence. what kind of filters does your internet provider offer that might keep these kinds of images off your computer screen in the future? when you look up images on google, do you use the google safe filter?

and perhaps more crucially, when you see that little flash of ickiness pop up on the screen, you are always empowered to simply look away and click that little red X on the upper right hand corner of your screen. i know the temptation to look is powerful, but with some discipline and the realization that the consequence is something you can't really digest, you'll be surprised at how quickly that discipline will become habit.

sorry you saw something horrible. sorry you can't make it all go away. but you can keep it out of your world to some extent if you really want to.

Both what was suggested and what was actually done are VERY GOOD things. Though, personally that kind of stuff should not be too easy to find...if you ask me.
