Title: Miss America launches own browser
Post by: Foxy Brown on October 11, 2007, 04:06:17 PM
Seven years ago, 13-year-old Lauren Nelson and a few friends entered an Internet chat room during a sleepover. Within a week, an online predator was e-mailing one of them lurid photos.

"We were chatting with people we didn't know, which was our first mistake, and someone asked for our personal information," she said. "A week later, he sent some inappropriate pictures to one of my friends. We were all scared, and told our parents, who contacted the authorities."

Now Nelson, who is the reigning Miss America, is the centerpiece of a new kid-friendly Internet browser designed to keep children away from dangerous online sites and contacts. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21116555/)

The annoying animated Miss America probably creates enough hate and anger to bypass the restrictions by any means.

Meh, the thing looks too glittery and sparkley.  Even though I'm female, I wouldn't've even liked that when I was a kid....

As much as I love glitters, sparkles, pink and all that, that's an annoying looking browser...

Especially if "she" is going to be 'talking', I'd want my browser to shut the hell up  :lol:
