Via a partnership with Zango (the former 180solutions) the Warner Bros. website, an online destination for kids, has been offering free games via adware that Zango installs on users' computers. The catch: some of the ads that kids may end up seeing could be for porn, writes the Washington Post.

The Warner site sends those clicking on the Zango sponsor logo to a "Fun Stuff" page offering games, with a pre-checked box adjacent to an "I confirm I am 18 or older" above the end-user license agreement (EULA), several blogs reported yesterday - and others more than two months ago - explaining the deceptive process that could end up serving porn ads to kids.
