This Is Just Nuts (Updated) 2
Not to mention bad judgment. (I don’t know how the last line of the story slipped by the editors.)
Addendum:
The Smoking Gun has a picture.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

OK, that last line made me giggle. Not too loud, I’m at work.
I can just see it. Some cut up in the newsroom wondered out loud, “were they new or used?”. Someone else is like, “well now you know that would be good to know. Kinda gives it a pervy edge.” And thus we get an AP news story with the line : “It was unclear if the condoms were new or used.”

How he could have imagined that no one would complain is beyond me.
