Who to complain about offensive junk mail?

Errata

Fine and dandy but the leaflet explains how the content is very explicit, about "a drug addict who will do anything!!! to feed her addictions."

Sounds like a flyer for the latest JK Rowling.

any teenager would 100 % found a way to log on whether normally suprvised or not...they are not stupid and can be more techy than most parents!! I know as a teenager it would have peaked my curiosity...and my folks where strict

It is good to know there are still some people around with a concern for the wider community, avstar. Unfortunately far too few. If I am fortunate enough to have children one day I will make strident steps to emigrate before it is time for them to start school. It is becoming increasingly clear to me that this isn't the sort of society I want my child to grow up in. There is a soullessness and a selfishness that is so widespread, very little in the way of common values, shared goals, urghh...I feel parents should be pulling together to build a better society for their children, instead their values often seem completely at odds to my own. I can't believe that a poster who shows concern for impressionable children in her neighbourhood is being told effectively to butt out.

Yes you're overreacting. You need to bin it and move on.

It was this leaflet being put thought everyone's door and showing how to bypass filters that worried me. But thanks for your input.

I think you may have the bypassing filters thing a bit wrong.
Think of something explicit and Google it. You'll find it. Pretty much however explicit you can think of, I'd bet you'll find it.
So either this story is so explicit that it needs to be reported to the police, or the reason it's directing you to the story this way is not to bypass a filter.

I'm interested, now.
What could they be on about?
Even if something doesn't come up on a google search you can just simply type in the web address to the page. Why did the flyer need to give instructions?
Is it just to make it sound more "explicit" and exciting than it really is?
Or do you think it's some sort of scam - cashing in on the Fifty Shades phenomenon to encourage people to go through some sort of phishing site?

I want to know how you knew it was 6 chapters, if it was that bad why didn't you stop reading after page one

Yes. And if you let your children surf the net unsupervised, you're to blame for anything unsavoury they might come across, which will almost certainly include a lot worse than this.

I'm with you and would want to complain if someone put such a leaflet through my door.

where would you emigrate to esmerelda?

Hang on...so the leaflet itself isn't offensive then? There is nothing inappropriate on it?

Basically, it says "there is something gross on the internet, go look if you want!".

Congratulations. You found Google.
