Hi,

I see hooks to answer user questions about sex, but the answers
themselves seem inoffensive and you have to type in a question about
sex to see them. Did you find an answer that was inappropriate?

If you find answers (not questions) that are inappropriate, please
drop me a mail with them.

Remember that we're shipping a not-particularly-censored copy of
Wikipedia with the laptops. If you find something that is clearly
unacceptable (as was the bot's claimed adherence to one religion)
then we should remove it, but we aren't trying to remove anything
that could offend someone just for the sake of doing so.
Thanks,
- Chris.
