Yahoo officials deny adult material

[nicebloke]

Yahoo officials are denying reports the company has suddenly turned to offering adult material.

But a Yahoo spokeswoman told Ananova its US site had been offering the material for around two years and there has been no sudden change in policy.

I heard about this today on NPR, and they said they were selling adult materials. I would think that if anyone would get it right, it would be NPR.

oops. NPR="National Public Radio"

I heard it on WBZ, in Boston - Infinity Broadcasting, a big Kahuna. Either this is a big change, or a clever PR ploy by an Anti-adult activist. It may be as simple as someone having an adult Y@hoo store. However, the spot said Y@hoo gets a cut of all the DVS and Videos sold on this particular site. Stay tuned for the fallout. Y@hooX³ -- almost a family portal...not anymore.

There's an article from the L.A. Times in our local paper about this titled "Y@hoo embraces p*rn in profit bid".

To recap:
1. No we aren't.
2. We have been for 2.5 years, this is not a change.
3. We stopped.
