My ex-wife was able to direct me to the objectionable web page. I had made a web page over a year ago, and I include a link to these Pretty Pictures. The ranking of the pictures is based on voting by whoever visits the site. It does indeed have some nice pictures, and I thought that my kids might like them.
The site has a companion site for Funny Pictures. Each time you visit the site, it shows a different pair of pictures, and lets you vote on which is funnier. Here is the top vote-getter:

(The text says "UNIQUE - just because you are unique does not mean that you are useful".)
Here are a couple of school-related ones that I think are funny:


Maybe the social worker, Sally Mitchell, will send me a letter that I can submit to the site!
However, the pictures on the site change all the time, and currently some of them are not appropriate for kids. I just deleted the link.
It is difficult to prevent kids from finding sites like this one. If you just Google funniest images, then you get the site as the top link. It is also the top site for the same search on Yahoo. If I am at fault here, then so is every other parent who lets his kid use Google or Yahoo.
