ONY'S WEBSITE TURNS THE BLAIR BLUE
By NADIA COHEN
A WEBSITE for teenagers launched by Tony Blair has been banned—for being too BLUE.
The Prime Minister personally endorsed TheSite.org when it first hit the worldwide web in April amid a blaze of publicity, pictured right at launch.
But an online directory has now REFUSED even to list the site after finding it littered with explicit sex details.
Roger Fenton, shocked managing director of the directory Just35.com, declared: “This is not a site for kids. The contents are vulgar and I wouldn’t want any children visiting the site.
“I’m astounded this has been backed by Tony Blair.”
When the Premier was photographed surfing through TheSite.org’s pages at London’s trendy West End nightspot Home he praised its coverage and listings of volunteer opportunities.
Antics
Since then youngsters have been taking the opportunity to volunteer red-hot revelations of their love lives and bizarre bedroom antics.
More than 65,000 children a month log on to the site, which is run by charity YouthNet UK and sponsored by BT and Coca Cola.
But parents would be stunned by some of the content.
This month’s tips include an intimately detailed how-to-do-it guide to oral sex.
ONLINE SHOCKER: 'Sex' section with explicit details
Space is also devoted to the most peculiar and nauseating fetishes—including sex with shop dummies.
The site’s mission statement boasts: “We don’t tell anyone how to lead their lives—we just believe everybody should have all the information they need to make the most of things on their own terms.”
But then it brazenly encourages teenagers to write in and tell all with the tease: “TheSite isn’t a grubby little porn site—not yet anyway—but we’d still like to hear what pleasures you.”
Recent stories include ‘My boyfriend wants a helping hand’, ‘He’s a disappointment’ and ‘My boyfriend wants me to get larger breasts’.
Online agony aunts dispense advice such as: “There’s a good reason why a guy may refer to his ‘Crown Jewels’. "For him it’s the most precious bit of his body and something that needs to be handled with great care.”
Girls in a clinch are urged not to behave “like a carrot picker” because it will “get him crying out for all the wrong reasons”.
TheSite.org’s marketing director Jamie Thomas insisted: “The articles we produce can be quite frank so people can digest them.
"Nothing is for the sake of titillation—that’s not what we are about.
"The site is aimed at young adults. It’s not a children’s site and has never pretended to be.”
Despite the rumpus BT and Coca Cola both stood by their decisions to give the site cash.
However, a Downing Street aide told us: “Websites are organic and change. The PM had no problems with what was on the site at the time he was associated with it, but we have no idea what it looks like now.”
Actually I was thinking that when I typed it!
Bloody hell 5 years!
Crazy stuff.
Anyway, its cool, I plan to stick about!
Just noting the connection between socks and cleverness. There are several expressions concerning the devil, and none of them make sense...
And yes, I've had a few drinks...
Not a crime!
It was me, and you don't have too. I am 18 now
Get me own at last. Ace.
Never been asked for it myself. I was visiting hospital last week, seeing my gran who'd been in for an operation. The woman in the next bed asks how old I am. "21", I say. "You look more 31 to me, son". The sheer cheek of it! :eek:
omne day one of the moods will wake up and ...press the button.
like the president ...
Heh, I should havem oney this next meet, which is good. And I can finally prove myself with ID. Being 18 is great. I find I don't get asked much now, even when I was 17, for things like Cinema and booze from shops, only really Bars do.
I still get asked for booze a bit. Smokes are no problem... films haven't been for ages.
Probalby so! I'd miss Rolly.
