Back during the late 90s era of internet, I got into a MASSIVE amount of troyble over a finger slip in a high school computer lab.
We were all assigned an African country to write an essay about. We had to only use internet cited sources.
I was assigned a country with the Namba people. Somehow I fat-fingered an "L" in there in the worst places. (Between the 'b' and the 'a' - don't google it)
It triggered my school's search filter. Altavista got involved. It was a nightmare.
The police got in contact with my parents, thinking I was being groomed and in danger of kidnapping.
It sucked.
For those that want to know what it is, but dont want to risk searching:
____
North American Man/Boy Love Association
Fucked up organization, but not really all that scary to search
Wasn't there a south park episode about them?
Yep.
