Silly it may be, but this piece of Google account word verification amused one Reg reader and brightened up our Monday:

Good Lord. There is a serious point to be made here, though. What, our correspondent asks, if some cybergranny were confronted by an unexpected sight of minge while logging onto Gmail over a nice cup of cocoa? And the thought of innocent children being exposed to this filth, well, it just makes our blood boil.

Accordingly, we demand that Google take immediate steps to protect public morals from the randomly-generated minge menace. This sort of thing will simply not do. ®
