>For a very long time, due to custom printing, you could get semi-permanent Sears URLs to rather vulgar images on shirts, pillows, blankets, etc.

I'm not sure I understand that, could you please elaborate? Are you saying that they provided custom printing, then some users printed vulgar images, and could pass on URLs for others to print another batch?

Exactly. You could upload an image for custom printing, with no sanity check as to what the image was, and it would be available for others to access as well, resulting in a semi-permanent link to hentai, porn, and extreme profanity. I imagine the justification behind it was that in order to do the custom print at the lower price, Sears had to buy a larger order, but I have no idea.

Like it would show up in the search results for other users? Or would it be a just a url you could send to people?
