The following is copied from 
http://www.komando.com/DailyNews/index.aspx?id=6835 where you can read the 
entire article.  
    Rather disturbing stuff for children."All search engines let you search 
specifically
for videos. But [Microsoft's] Bing provides in-result video previews. Roll your 
mouse
over a result and the video starts playing. You get about a minute
preview, complete with audio.
It's actually a neat idea. You can preview videos without leaving
Bing. But the site doesn't distinguish between a funny YouTube clip and
pornography. The right search turns Bing into a porn theater.
This can circumvent parental controls. And it leaves no trace. The
porn site won't be logged in the browser history. You may have no idea
what your fifth grader is watching."~ Dan
