further signs of our decline

I just tried to send the_silent_one a link to a page at the Monterey Bay Aquarium's website. She's at work. Her WebSense don't-be-bad-on-the-internet filter replied:

Cultural institutions is filtered.

Yes, yes they is nowadays. They sure is.

Edit: Get a load of their categories: http://ww2.websense.com/global/en/ProductsServices/MasterDatabase/URLCategories.php

It seems to be cyclical. It is almost like it takes the "Top 10" of what categories people are looking at then blocks them each month.

Key example: Banking and Shopping were blocked in January (right after the Holidays... interesting) then they were available February and March.

Whatever they are doing it's stupid.
