Flickr - 'sex experiment'

    Hi All

    Bit of a strange question.

    A while ago I saw an experiment on Flickr where a user posted the same shot twice - the shot was fairly innocuous, but one version was tagged normally and the other tagged with 'sex', 'porn', 'nude' etc.

    iirc the second shot received something like 10,000 views.

    Did anyone see it, and if so know where I can find it? I've been searching on Flickr for a while to no avail.

    I heard about this....for some reason i think it was a OTT HDR shot and was uploaded late one sunday night so that it would normally get lost in the monday morning influx

    That rings a bell - vaguely remember the shot being a bit of PP gone wrong that the user decided to do something different with.

    Hmmm...

    I could've told you that. newworldphotos briefly went from 200 hits/day to over 1500 hits/day after I posted maternity photos of my soon-to-be-ex-wife.

    Maybe I should sign up for Adsense and post the whole set?
