IF anyone has become 'infected' by visiting that site I am truly sorry.
FYI....
ALL messages and links both incoming and outgoing are scanned for both viruses and malware.
Nothing of any kind was reported originally and I have since checked it three times and nothing has popped up.
As a 'semi-geek' I am acutely aware that this kind of thing can transmit problems and cause serious damage so I am very careful to protect both myself and others from any infections.
Since Russ' warning I have also spent a bit of time tracking the infamous 'clock' on several search engines and have found NO references to any kind of problems being experienced by anyone visiting the site.

When I tried the link it tried to access and scan my computer. I even have an older computer set up just to browse around the web on just for that reason and it tried it with that one too. I just didn't want to take any chances. Some of our members are not as computer savvy as others. ;)

My Malware caught it yesterday but, I ran a scan this AM as per Russ's suggestion anyway. Nothing was found.

I just checked out the code behind - this is a flash animation using the regular Java Script to get the show started.
If your Flash gets updates at a regular frequency, your firewall may notice the new version of flash on your PC and a plugin requesting access to that "unknown" software.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Refer to Google searching for the "naked men clock".
But sure better to be suspicious than to trust all times.

Thanks Torsten!
Glad you verified the code...beyond my capabilities.
So IT IS Safe....
