Even if a parent didn't know much of the "geek-speak" in the article, or what the current fashions are, the links alone reveal the satiric intent of the writer. No father with real fears about this subject would take the time to pepper his article with 2 or 3 links per sentence, let alone porn.

No way is this guy serious!

But the poll, of course, is right on -- they smell terrible!
I think it's quite obvious by now that the entire article was a satire. But to answer your question, AMD is a company that makes computer processors, (like intel). And for some future advice, always try to hover a link before you click on it to see where it might lead you to.

And if a poll with 11015 votes says that hackers smell bad, then it must be pretty darn accurate.
