This is just too good. One of the features of Microsoft's just launched Bing search engine is that it auto-plays videos in results when you hover over them. Naturally, the first thing a number of people, like Loic Le Meur, did was search for "sex" or "porn." The results are majestic ¿ if you're a teenager looking for a way around porn filters on your computer. And this isn't artful porn or something like it, it's straight-up, hardcore pornography.

Now, to be fair, to see these results, you do have to manually override the adult filter on the video search, but that's a whole 2 clicks and doesn't require that you actually verify your age or anything. The Bing team on Twitter is already warning users about this following Loic and other's tweets about the issue. But the results literally speak for themselves. If you're so inclined, go ahead and try, it's one hell of a way to browse porn. Straight porn, gay porn, you name it. It's all there, ready to auto-play.

I had one hell of a time just finding a result that would be easy enough for me to edit with you still being able to tell what it is. Obviously, this stuff is not safe for work ¿ unless perhaps you work on the Bing team.
