You can't say things like that and expect people not to do the exact opposite...
Yep, I fell for it.

Had to try it, and lo - to my surprise, I got pictures of... rubber pencils!

Couldn't just use a normal stick?

For some things, a normal stick just won't do.

What search engine are you using? Bing results were totally SFW and KSS ... that said, I have SafeSearch set to "Moderate".
Perhaps you should reconsider your search settings

So, years ago I decided to be a good sport and donate a few bucks to Wikipedia. It's a useful site and all. So, ok cool.
Fast forward a bit. They put my email address on a mailing list so they could ask for more money down the road. No biggie, just ignore. Surely it's a one-time thing.
Fast forward again. Oh look they want more money from me. Not overly thrilled about being spammed over it I decided to unsubscribe from the list only slightly annoyed.
Let's fast forward some more shall we. Turns out unsubscribing doesn't mean jack sh*t to these people when it comes to asking for money. I get asked again. None to thrilled I delete the email. Not really sure if I unsubed on the email this time yet or not. When I start getting spammed by unsubs being ignored I tend not to play the "validate my email by clicking links" game.
Now here recently again, Wikipedia is going through another one of their campaigns to ask for money. Guess what? I get yet another email. I unsubscribed. Question is... will this be the last one? I doubt it.
Moral of the story... if you donate use a throw away email address.

Valuable advice!  Thanks!
This time they are only asking for $3 and I was contemplating helping them out. But now I have to create a disposable email addr. Hardly worth all the effort!

Yeah. The sad part is, I more than likely would've donated again had it not been for that.

On the other Hand ... all your complains are ok ... how one can drive something great like wiki without donations?

No problem, just give me a few days and after I fork over a $1k plane ticket I'll be right over.
