Gay porn on display
The week's news at a glance.
Sydney
Thousands of Australian teens accidentally got an eyeful of gay porn this week when they tried to go to the Web site of the winner of Australian Idol, a popular TV singing contest. The Sydney girl who won the competition, 16-year-old Casey Donovan, shares her name with a male American porn star. That Casey Donovan died of AIDS in 1987, long before the rise of Internet porn, but his fans have created an explicit Web site in his memory. A half-page ad printed in every major Australian paper to promote the singer mistakenly gave the Web address for that site.
