Actually, a system that blocks offensive sites makes perfect sense in a corporate environment. Keeps the lawsuits down. An employee can actually sue the company for harassment if he/she happens to walk by someone's cube and notices something offensive on someone else's computer... The issue is when it goes too far and blocks perfectly valid sites like House of Fusion. I had replied earlier, but I think your best route is to ask them to log an exception for HOF. Even though there may be some "colorful" language on this list, and sometimes on the CF-Talk list, the benefits far outweigh the occasional use of the non-FCC approved verbiage.

But I am sure I am preaching to the already converted on that.
