Creating Web Traffic “Out of Thin Air”

Is there a policy on [NSFW] tags or the equivalent? Nothing about this headline suggested to me that opening it while at work was going to plaster my screen with a giant cartoon ass, and while I'm fortunate to work in a tolerant space, others might not be so lucky.

I came here to say the same. I was not expecting a huge graphic with a cartoon naked ass to show up on my work system.

also here to say the precise same thing. left my laptop while this page was loading and it was up for 5 or 6 minutes. Work with understanding fellows, but that is not okay to load without warning, BuzzFeed.

Doesn't sound like it's anybody else's responsibility to help you dick around while on the clock.

I'm not saying a workplace should care about you visiting a webpage with a cartoon ass on it, but I just don't think it's anyone's problem but your own since there are precautions you can take yourself, like using a separate browser for dicking around with images disabled.

If you can't be bothered to do that, then why should anyone else.
