For those that haven't yet seen anything about http://kiddle.co, it's a search engine based on google purporting to be child friendly. And it's proving to be controversial.

Why does that robot look so angry?

I beg to differ. A "kiddie fiddler" is a Britishism for a paedophile. The combination of (small) children and urination, on the other hand, is, well, um, normal.

The filter failing on occasion is not controversial.

What they do filter, however, is.

But I suppose "controversial" applies as long as somebody is concerned.
