PixAlert fights inappropriate material

Irish smut-busting outfit PixAlert has develeoped
technology which it claims "completely prevents
pornographic images being displayed and viewed on
computer screens" by somehow blocking "illegal or
inappropriate images as they are rendered".

This impressive feat is achieved through "high-speed
image analysis software" which can apparently detect
"images actually being displayed on any screen and
originating from any computer source".

Hmmmmm. We're not quite sure how PixAlert distinguishes
between Edouard Manet's Olympia, for example, and a XXXX
snap of a recumbent cheerleader pleasuring herself with a
pom-pom, but here's how the company describes it:

PixAlert Monitor resides on the desktop and when a
suspect image is blurred and subsequently viewed, a
record is created in an audit log and an immediate alert
can be sent to the administrator console. The
administrator can view an encrypted copy of the image,
along with the source machine and user name, date-time
and the program used to view it.

PixAlert marketing supremo, Andy Churley, explained:
"Inappropriate images in the workplace are becoming a
real threat to business operations. Their presence on
corporate computers and dissemination through a network
can have severe consequences for an organisation and its
corporate officers, including exposure to civil
litigation, criminal proceedings, brand and reputation
damage, financial loss and breach of corporate policies."

This is true. To determine whether your organisation is
at risk from a litigation shitstorm, or already installed
PixAlert over the weekend, see if you can view with
clarity the following image of Paris Hilton romping naked
on a couch with Madonna while Natalie Portman soaps
herself down in the shower:
