What will AlGore do with his evenings

That was the first question that ran through my mind when I read this headline

Chatroulette Plans Penis-Recognition Algorithm to Block Users

There’s something exhilarating about meeting someone new, whether it’s in a coffee shop or online. That is, until your new pal pulls a Lyndon Johnson and gets really friendly.

That sort of behavior is pretty common on Chatroulette, where users can “meet” and chat with random people with a click of a mouse. But to cut down on the parade of penises, the service is planning to add image-recognition software that will filter out shots of male genitalia.

Which is probably why they now have the word “pervy” in the headline.

Bastards. Taking all my fun away and stuff.
