Which University Accidentally Linked To XXX-Rated Hardcore Porn On Its Own Website?

University bosses have been left red-faced after they accidentally linked to a hardcore XXX-rated porn site through their own web page.

The link to the explicit “Japan UK 150” portal appeared on a Japanese learning resources page of Brunel University’s official site.

It was posted under the heading: “Japanese culture.”

And it appeared above another more appropriate link to the British Museum.

The gaffe was spotted by a shocked researcher at the London institution this week and has since been removed, according to GetWestLondon.

But a cached version of the page still appears on Google.

A university spokesman said the linked web address initially belonged to a Japan-UK friendship site, which proved a popular resource for students.

But the domain name was then put up for sale in 2014, and appears to have been linked to the Japanese porn site in early August 2015.

“Brunel has some 44,000 web pages it maintains which contain more than 100,000 links to external websites,” he told the Evening Standard.

“We devote and great deal of time and effort to ensure that those links are up to date and are to relevant content.

"We are grateful that the change of content for this link was brought to our attention and we immediately removed it.”
