I can remember in 1998 my mom showing my aunt what the internet was. My mom says "You can even chat with the president! I was talking in a chatroom last night with Bill Clinton!"
Then she pulls up www.whitehouse.com.
Now I haven't been there in decades, but back in 1998 that website was a porn website where they had a bill clinton imposter porn actor, and an imposter porn actress for Hillary and one for Monica.
As soon as the page starts loading, my mom screams, and sends 14 year old me out of the room.
Apperently the night before she went to whitehouse.gov. Which is a TOTALLY different site.
I never did find out what chatroom she really went to, and who she was talking to.
