A funny (but fake) news from satirical site The Onion, regarding the first time that the “I am under 18″ button clicked for the first time.
CHINO, CA—In an unprecedented and 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. “I knew I could simply claim to be over 18 and continue onto my desired destination, but I also realized that I would have to live with that lie for the rest of my life,” said local resident Garrett Kinley, 17.
“I admit, I was curious to see what type of material I would find on www.juggworld.com, but that button was clearly placed there for a reason, and let’s face it: 17 and three-quarters is not 18. I plan to return to the site three months from now, when I will be mature enough to handle its content.” 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.
I hope Gerrard learns his lesson :P.
The internet landed in KK when I was already working, so I wouldn’t know which button I’d click if I were presented with the option if I was under 18 then. But I do know that most of the “I am under 18″ button would lead the young visitors to Disney.com, apart from the search engines.

I think the last time I clicked on the under 18 button (out of curiosity) was more than 10 years ago haha
