Corporate ads appear beside live teen sex talk

P.S. I'm not sure what a 'web specialist' is supposed to be.

Corporate ads appear beside live teen sex talk

A Calgary father and web specialist is going public to warn other parents about a popular website ? where major Canadian corporations advertise ? and where young teens engage in public, sexually explicit exchanges via live webcam and text.

?I see ads for Canadian companies. And then I look at the site and go, 'Well!' There?s nudity. There?s bullying. There is some of the worst profanity you can imagine,? said Dan Rickard.

Rickard said he stumbled across the website called Stickam purely by chance, while researching how to do high-quality video streaming for business purposes.

?This was all discovered in two hours.? As a father, it scares the hell out of me.?

Stickam has some 10 million registered users ? and most are under the age of 25. Tim Hortons, Rogers, Home Depot and Bank of Montreal are among several large corporations whose ads were displayed prominently on the site.
