Not sure why I've decided on having a running Guinness theme in my last few posts, although their commercials do crack me up.
However, as I was just visiting their site for a recent post, I was again reminded and confronted with their age-verification question you must answer before moving forward into their site. If nobody asked them to do this, then I admire their stepping up to the plate on their own.
Why isn't it that we could require this type of logon to any pornographic website before any objectionable material were displayed? My kids are getting older, and I know there's going to be the opportunity for them to accidentally stumble upon a website that isn't what they intended and see this type of thing. Bit of advice www(dot)whitehouse(dot)com isn't a government site!

Jason,
You may want to look into buying NetNanny for any computer that your kids access. It works very well, yet also allows you to add or delete sites from its database depending on whether you feel that your kids should be able to access them or not.
One of my kids wanted to look up Dick's Sporting Goods a couple of days ago. He typed in dicks.com. Before NetNanny, well, let's just say that he wouldn't have seen what he was hoping to see. With NetNanny, he got the friendly message that basically says that this site is nasty.
