Whatever happened to the random link button on yahoo?

The random link button was probably removed for censorship reasons. Junior makes one click trying to find some cool random thing, and *BANG* porn site, warez site, l33t HaCK3RZ site. There may also be some technical details involved, like the CPU time consumed picking a random site out of an extremely large database.

Granted, Junior could also have clicked on Entertainment > Movies > Genres > Adult or thrown the word porn in the search field. The only difference is, those would be intentional, the random button would not.
