Flickr + Google = Naughty
Here's a fun science experiment for the kids!
So far so good, right? Nothing unusual about using the most popular search engine to search for the name of the most popular photo sharing site, right? And it's no surprise that Flickr.com comes up first in the list of results but if you take a closer look...

Bikinis? Who knew, right?
Ok, it's no secret that Flickr can be an endlessly entertaining (and gag-inducing) source of amateur porn so the subcategory of "bikini" is probably a lot less offensive than say..."angry cross-dressing grandfathers with llamas".
But wait. That's not even the good part!
Clicking on the link to "Search" opens up a whole new can of worms.
Am I going to tell/show you the results?
No. If I did, you wouldn't learn anything and I would be the world's crappiest science professor. So in the name of science, just go try it out for yourself.
You can come back later and leave me a string of capital letters in my comments like "LOLWTF?KTHXBAIBBQ!"
Update 10/06/08: Google or Flickr has taken notice and taken the subcategories down. For those who missed it, the link to "Search" brought you to a Flickr search on the term "upskirt".
Update 10/06/08 Part II: Instead, check out this other "secret" Flicker feature. Hint, it involves pandas and rainbows.

I LOVE porn!! But have you seen the amateur porn on Flickr? Not the nude photography, the porn - like this (DON'T say I didn't warn you...). The funny part is that Google is creating subcategories for bikinis and upskirts for a Yahoo owned company! p.s. I love porn.

I blame junior high school boys.
@vrtualme
Yep, it's upskirt every time. Why Google has chosen to highlight those pics, we may never know.
Moderately. By the way, when typing your name, I typed "Junksy" not once but twice. A new moniker for you? C'mon, think about it now. I get royalties though...
@Deb
You should know that my intentions are to always waste the precious time of others. It's my new "subtle" world domination plan. Now, try searching Flickr for trannies and cross-dressers. Good times.
Yes. It sounds way more sexy. If you could, I would try to get yourself an official sounding title too like "Dr. Junk" or "Lieutenant Junk".
@Viqi
Yep it's gone (thanks, I put an update in the post) - it formerly brought you to a Flickr search query for the term "upskirt"! I would prefer if our friend Morticia remained oblivious to my existence. I don't need anymore secret admirers. :)
