TinyURL (Was: 8.04?)

[Travis Smith]

Just seen this they do have a preview feature that in this case if you typed
in preview  before the link like http://preview.tinyurl.com/3m4tt then it
would tell you *Notice from TinyURL admin: This URL opens a lot of windows
with reportedly "distasteful" pictures and has audio saying "Hey everybody,
I'm looking at gay porno." It may also crash your browser/computer.

*Which is helpful if your dying to click on someones posted tinyurl but
worried about were it will take you.
