In a historic event Monday, the "I Am Under 18" button, an Internet security device which if selected restricts access to websites featuring adult content, was clicked for the first time ever. " The 17 year old said he would go back to the site in 3 months to view the website. His friend wasn't so wise or lucky..Moments later, Kinley's friend Dave Gerrard, 17, pushed Kinley aside and clicked the "I Am Over 18" button himself, at which point a tactical police unit broke down his bedroom door and arrested him.

How surprised would you be if a police unit broke into your home?

Ah, a very funny story. Um, I know about the Onion website. It is a good place to read to get real news stories and coverage. They make up a lot of stuff about the Democrats, unfortunately, but every word about the Republicans is true and verified!

I can't tell if the other posters know the Onion website is satire. I think they do.

LOL. Poor kids. That's why the say that one should follow rules when they have bee n set. There are some rules that can be broken, but some have to adhered for your safety. What one of the kids did was right. 17 3/4is not 18 and the other one took law a bit on the lighter side. It was good lesson for that other person and he/she will remember that law is something that shouldn't be meddled with.

Well, that is scary! Thank goodness the first guy was honest! Shame on the 2nd guy for trying to view content that he should have waited a few months for! I bet he wishes he had now! Scary!
