[WikiEN-l] Links to porn sites

Right, I hate McDonalds and wish they'd go bankrupt (not likely).
However, the McDonalds website does provide (at least the US version)
"nutrition" information as well as other information. The website isn't
the company's primary commodity, that's all I'm saying. I'm pretty sure
we're agreeing on this one.
