It's perfectly understandable, since the types of sites that are blocked are not likely to be business-related. (so far I've discovered that "web hosting" sites like geociites, angelfire, xoom, tripod, etc. and also MP3.com is blocked.)

Nothing like boosting company morale...

A place I worked for did that -- there's nothing like going to a website for reference material on your job and having the screen display in big bold H1: "This web site has been blocked because it contains Sex Material or Criminal Skills information" just as the boss walks by.

(The oddest message I got was for a site that was blocked for "Extreme Material". Never understood what that was all about.)
