I once went searching for Disney pictures. It came back with a site for people who have drawn alternative versions of the cartoons. It was a very different version of Snow White, Cinderella and the rest.

Worrying because it’s not like it’s a search term that a child wouldn’t put in.

My guess is that what's happened is that some poor soul has set up a forum which has been quickly overrun by spambots.

On a forum I currently administer, we initially set manual account activation to stop this. Signing up had a CAPTCHA feature but that was next to useless (as they're all set with OCR capability).

If we hadn't had manual activation, it'd have been overrun in no time - just like the example here.

I ended up deleting several 'new users' every day. The profiles contained some quite disturbing links.

We switched to textual confirmation with a really simple question and problem solved.

Cheers,
