Google Commits XXX Oops

People searching for information on Blue Mountain Community College got an eyeful Monday, when the school's URL was hacked and redirected to a porn site.

The community college, located in Pendelton, Ore., was changing its URL and undergoing website redesign when the XXX mistake occurred. The "error" only happened when someone searched for the community college through Google's search engine. The user would click on the now defunct Blue Mountain Community College link and ta-da: T&A.

Google quickly fixed the problem, redirecting users to the blue website they were actually looking for.

Apparently Safari already has a Porn Mode. Courtesy of Flickr User ºDaines
