Sex = Entertainment: That's AOL's message, anyway. Last month, a user typing the word sex into AOL's keyword function -- which lets users jump from one section to another within the service -- was greeted with a message: "Got your mind on Sex? Maybe you should be thinking Entertainment?" (We're not making this up!) Adding injury to insult, typing in any keyword subsequent to sex still sends you to AOL's squeaky-clean Entertainment section, as if to punish you for thinking such naughty thoughts. So kind of AOL to politely remind us what we should be thinking about.
