One time i tried to search for Second Life at a Office Depot and it called it a game. I mean WTH,it isn’t a game,it’s a social networking site.

Twitter is blocked at my work as “socialnet:chat” but Facebook (with all its time-wasting apps and quizzes) is let through no problem. WTF?

Just searched “adults fucking” and the IM pic was the first hit.

Kudos to you Ross for making your way to the top of a very competitive search field.

You know what else Websense blocks? Joe Cotten’s music. It’s not tasteless or anything. It’s just too awesome.
Actually, that’s not true. Websense flees Joe Cotten in terror. Six seconds of feedback from his guitar would annihilate them forever. It’s like a nuclear attack on oppression.
Look him up! This is his year!
Please?

I *hate* Websense! They’ve been using it at work for a few years now, and I will admit to getting a few chuckles from the “reasons” for blocking some sites. “Tasteless” - sounds like more of an opinion than an actual site category. I got the “Tasteless” one for the first time when I tried to visit a blog I used to read and literally lol’ed.
