USA provides Nigerian children with porn

It looks like the One Laptop Per Child Project may have gone totally awry!  As they say, the internet is for porn.  Oh well.  It seemed like a nice idea in the first place.

    Nigerian schoolchildren who received laptops from a U.S. aid organisation have used them to explore pornographic sites on the Internet, the official News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported on Thursday.

    NAN said its reporter had seen pornographic images stored on several of the children’s laptops.

    "Efforts to promote learning with laptops in a primary school in Abuja have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials," NAN said.

    A representative of the One Laptop Per Child aid group was quoted as saying that the computers, part of a pilot scheme, would now be fitted with filters.

We need to face facts.  Little Ubuju and K'wemi need clean water, nutritious food, fewer diseases and gainful work in order to enjoy the world information system.  Bringing the system into nations, cities, towns, and even villages in the Third World has some merit, but largely the prosperous infrastructure is missing.  First things first; necessities before luxuries ... and before anyone says it, no, pornfappage is NOT A NECESSITY.
