It Only Took 14 Tries To Find Porn On XKCD's Holistic Browser

Just as we suspected, it takes no time to find porn on Internet comic site XKCD's "holistic browser," which Buzzfeed's Matt Buchanan calls the "Chatroulette of Web Browsing." Beyond the porn thing, the browser earned the Chatroullete comparison because it provides the same random, user-generated experience as the video-chatting service -- just without the video part. Instead, it's all websites, unless those websites happen to have (porn) videos.

"Type a web address and you'll be taken to one typed by someone else," explain the instructions at the top of the page. Considering these types of user-generated things always lead to porn, we figured it wouldn't take long to find some. And, we were right. Only 14 tries in -- we typed www.theatlanticwire each time -- and voilà: a lovely Christmas tree themed porno. (Yes, there were ornaments involved.)

Our very first hit on the site brought us to a KKK site "Bringing a Message of Hope and Deliverance to White Christian America!" With that, we figured porn was on the horizon. But after we got the following 12 not-so-risque results: Pandora, The Hairpin, a Swedish biker site, today's XKCD comic twice, a food blog called the Noble Pig, the Pirate Bay, a message forum about the World Trade Center memorial, British eBay, a potion recipe, NFL.com, and an Internet comic called Buttersafe. It was only after all of these very internerdy things that we found porn. Curious.

Perhaps it has something to do with the type of people who read XKCD? The nerdy Internet comic references things like formal logic,  Pi, and graphs, after-all. But, we bet the porn quotient will go up now that OMG WTF site Buzzfeed has brought more readership to the site.
