Australian Idol Blunder

ADVERTISEMENTS run in metropolitan daily newspapers congratulating Australian Idol winner Casey Donovan placed by Telstra's internet arm, BigPond direct Idol fans to a gay porn website.





The half-page advertisements in Melbourne's Herald Sun and Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspapers direct readers to caseydonovan.com - a website dedicated to the sale of homosexual porn DVDs and videos.

The website features a full frontal nude picture of a porn star called Casey Donovan - and links to his movie titles.

The mistake happened because BigPond forgot the .au in the website address.

The Australian Donovan has a personal website under construction at www.caseydonovan.com.au and a website set up by fans at www.caseydonovan.org.

BigPond corporate affairs manager Craig Middleton put the gaffe down to simple human error in the last-minute preparation of the ad.

Bigpond had alerted web filters to add the porn website to its databases to prevent children unwittingly viewing pornography, he said.

Never watched it, she doesn't look like your average popstar, I'm surprised she won.
