Indeed. "Please don't go to that appalling site wikipedia.org. That's
WIKIPEDIA DOT ORG. And especially don't enter a search for anything you
might be interested in or want to look up, and REALLY don't hit the
'Edit this page' link. They're MAD, BAD and PERVERTED! Especially don't
look up the scholarly and encyclopedically-toned articles on [[penis]],
[[clitoris]] or [[autofellatio]], kids!"
