The church is not an institution known for its cutting-edge, 24/7, information junkie ethos. In fact, Sneak generally believed that the church liked to suppress free thought in order to maintain the God-fearing status quo.

However, it seems that members of the charitable Church of England are a tech-savvy bunch, and their Ethical Investment Advisory Group (EIAG) has a shedload of cash invested in various internet service providers (ISPs). All for the greater good, you understand.

But in a disturbing, Dan Brown-like revelation it has reached the ears of those on the EIAG board that there is porn on the internet, and as a result they are considering withdrawing their investments unless more is done to curb this horrifying situation, according to The Telegraph.

Sneak can't help but wonder how handy it is that the church never heard about this porn on the internet problem before, ensuring plenty of juicy dividends and returns on its investments.

Still, now that they have made a stand, the ISPs will no doubt be rushing to issue a fix for this problem that has long plagued the industry and all online users.

Perhaps, though, in light of recent news that Anonymous took out a hosting firm that provided access to highly dubious material, the Church of England should pass on its funds to the hacking collective and let its members take out many more such sites.

In another example of the dangers posed by the online world, the YouTube channel of kids TV show Sesame Street was hacked at the weekend and videos of muppets replaced by hardcore porn.

Sneak is not sure whether the porn videos in question had a Sesame Street theme, although they do add a rather sinister edge to the show's theme tune and its immortal lyrics: "Come and play, everything's A OK. Friendly neighbours there that's where we meet...Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street."

The videos were available to view for some 20 minutes or so before YouTube suspended the channel for violating its guidelines.

Although credit must go to the YouTube team for acting so quickly, this represents another cautionary tale for content owners to make sure their password security is water-tight.

The destroyers of childhood innocence, or hackers, left a message on the Sesame Street YouTube channel profile arguing, "Who doesn't love porn kids?".

They urged this invisible army of porn hungry six-year-olds not to "let Sesame Street get this account back", arguing that they would "make all the America happy!".

Well, either happy or very, very disappointed.

As for the hackers, where next? Maybe they could expand their horizons to other kids TV channels. He-Man was half way there anyway, while Noggin the Nog could do with a re-working for the 21st century, Sneak thinks. What do you think kids?

Sneak once typed a standard, everyday phrase into Google and was shocked, embarrassed and appalled to find results that pertained to what can only be described as, well, (deep breath) pornography.

A few days later, having sufficiently recovered strength to venture online again, Sneak was overwhelmed by what he found after a dedicated search for this previously unknown area of the internet.

It turns out lots of people like this 'pornography' and the world has agreed that a special domain is required to separate this kind of content from the boring, normal, safe stuff. The domain is, of course, .xxx.

Not XXXX, mind. That's an Australian beer called Castlemaine. Does that mean they'll buy XXXX.xxx? Confusing.

Of course, a new domain means a landrush for top domains linked to the most popular search terms, but the organisation in charge of the management of .xxx domains, ICM Registry, has revealed that it has banned some 15,000 celebrity names already.

"We didn't want to have the embarrassment of AngelinaJolie.xxx coming up at the launch of the new domain," the company's chief executive, Stuart Lawley, told The Guardian.

Of course, an AngelinaJolie.xxx domain makes sense, but Lawley also said that names such as David Cameron, Tony Blair and Margaret Thatcher will also be blacklisted. The mind boggles.

Anyway, since discovering this brave new world, Sneak has decided to take action. So make sure you check out V3Sneak.xxx for hot sarcastic blogging action. Oh yeah.
