Had to google that one. Looks like the settlement terms included a confidentiality provision. I would be surprised if she didn't get all of or near the cost of an actual Toyota if the facts are as they were reported in a couple write-ups I read.
 
I guess I could repost all these, but you may as well click though to the Buzzfeed article. It's fucking hysterical.

The 50 Worst Things On The Internet In 2015
I know that this thread has skirted the bounds of acceptable content, and certainly destroyed any barriers regarding tastefulness, but I'm going to have to call foul on this post. Okay, this website has the swear filter off, and there are pictures of bouncing juggies here and there, but links to insertion porn and beastiality? Let's please use some judgment.

All of the offending content had warnings which you had to click through to see, obviously you clicked more than one if you have more than one complaint. If it really bothered you that much wouldn't you have stopped at the first one? or not clicked at all?. The OP probably should have a warning, but this is the WTF thread and it was only a link, not embedded content!

If only there were some way to know that an article entitled "The 50 Worst Things On The Internet" would contain some offensive content.

Don't misinterpret my comment as being about me or my delicate sensibilities, I wasn't offended. I've seen worse, but it's been on porn sites. It was about this website and what should and shouldn't be acceptable. I haven't looked at the user agreement or anything like that, but I would bet that there's something about posting explicit content.

I would just be wary of allowing these kinds of posts on a website that is more or less family friendly. I wouldn't want this site to devolve into something I have to hide from my kids when I'm reading.

The link is to buzzfeed which is pretty much the most benign site in the universe. If you don't care to see the "worst things on the Internet" don't click through. And once you're there don't click again after further explicit warnings to see the photos that are blurred out even on buzzfeed. The only reason someone might feel to hide what they're looking at from their kids is if they'd already not heeded the several warnings that came before the offending pictures.

I understand what you're saying but it's hard to have any sympathy for your position given the above.

All good points being made in regards to that link. I did checked it out. Posting some of the content in that article directly on this site would never be allowed and I believe most know that. Direct links to any explicit/illegal content or sites would also not be allowed. That link is to another site which is not illegal nor a porn type site. If any links went directly to the explicit content in that article, then they would be removed.

Just FYI: Occasionally I will get TOS violation emails from Google Adsense about content here that they deem explicit with convenient links to it. The content could be 2 years old or 2 mins old. That content is removed, then I have to follow up with it so they can re-crawl the site to make sure.

If there is content on here that someone feels is questionable, please report it. We'll check it out.
 
All the below are images from Tim Hetherington's book Infidel which is unfortunately now out of print and consequentially nearly $100 on the secondary market. One of my favorite photography books not just for the photos which are amazing, but also for the descriptions, some of which are lengthy explanations and some of which are dry descriptors.

Most of the below photos were taken in the Korengal Valley, Afghanistan in 2007. A few are from Korengal Valley in 2008 and a few from the Abas Ghar ridge in 2007.

The Korengal valley is infamous as the site of the downing of a US helicopter. The valley has the highest concentration of fighting in Afghanistan and has the most munitions used than any other area of operation.
