A Zen gay atheistic Texan’s perspective

This is the first time I’ve seen this. Apparently our new proxy at work has a content filter on it to make sure I don’t go looking at anything inappropriate. I guess I’m not grown up enough to make that decision myself.

Now, the site in question was fleshbot so that’s probably what triggered it since it is usually a site that’s inappropriate for work. But the link on BoingBoing said it was SFW (suitable for work). I should be able to make this decision for myself.

I won’t throw a big fuss this time, but if the filter gets too strict and starts blocking everyday sites I will raise a ruckus. And if it EVER blocks a site on gay rights, health, etc. I will go through the roof.

I wonder if it’s being logged and sent to my manager? I’m almost tempted to go click on the link twenty or thirty times.

    Try going to just http://fleshbot.com and you should get through. Me thinks it is because the word “s|e|x” was in the URL :-)
