    I remember the days of unmoderated internet. Walking past the school computers, what’s all those guys around a computer looking at? Aaaand it’s a beheading and that now lives rent free in my head for 30 years.

      The screaming from the principal after we put the home page of all computers in the computer hallway of our upper childrens school to rotten dot com.

      Fun times!

      Orangeparty homepage still haunts me as much as Arachnophobia did to an 11 year old mind.

        Three classes of 9th graders being “shown how to use the internet” in 2001:

        Librarian: what’s a good example of a good site to visit

        Student: what about the white houses webpage

        Librarian: yes, so does anyone know what that webpage is?

        Student: WhiteHouse.com?

        Librarian: that sounds about right, let’s check!

      Nah, you do all the setup so it looks like a decapitation video, but have the victim read out your advocacy speech instead of a ransom or whatever, then just end the video. Enough people will report it based on looks in the early segment that it’ll get flagged for review still, but it ultimately won’t be problematic.
