The OLPC, an organization devoted to bringing open source laptops to children in Third World countries for less than $200 a pop, have discovered an awkward residual outcome in their well-meaning scheme.

The News Agency of Nigeria has reported some kids at an Abuja primary school “have gone awry as the pupils freely browse adult sites with explicit sexual materials.”

Oops. The OLPC has since reported they’ll be including porn filters in the newer models of the otherwise-durable computers.
