Warning: do not search Yahoo! for 'franchise'

Image result shocker

See what The Register's experts have to say on application security

NSFW We're obliged to the anonymous reader who's just tipped us off that anyone tempted to do a Yahoo! image search for "franchise" will get a bit more than nice pictures of Starbucks:

Yahoo! image search results for 'franchise'

For the sake of common decency, we've pixellated the offending images, which are topped by a fine study of a young lady entertaining a horse, another not-so-young lady (without legs, for the love of all that's Holy) entertaining a chap, and a young man with an improbably large appendage lounging about on a boat.

All the top search results come from the same domain, although mercifully any attempt to click on them gets a "you don't have permission to access..." message.

If you want to try this search for yourselves, be warned that it really is NSFW. ®

Bootnote

Yes, that's right: SafeSearch is OFF, but the results are the same with it ON. Blimey.
