Why Does This Headline Make Me Feel Self-Conscious?

Could it be that it is uncomfortably close to the truth?

Study: Americans spend more time with computer than spouse

Well, IÂ’ll know for sure if the divorce papers include Intel, Microsoft, and my ISP as responding parties.

StopTheACLU.Com Blocked By Filtering Company

On the basis, I would presume, that it is a porn site!

After all, how else do you explain its classification as "Adult/Mature Content"?

News Bukit has the story.

So I'm sitting at my favorite Panera/St. Louis Bread Company, eating and mooching Internet. Uneventful, I know. That, of course, is not the story.

The story is that when I went to check out what was new at StoptheACLU.com, a fellow conservative blogger, I was greeted with this message from the restaurant's filtering service.

"Forbidden category," eh? I was intrigued. Blogs are a forbidden category?

Apparently not, because when I went to the SonicWALL link to have the site reconsidered, guess what I found out?

You read that right: "Adult/Mature Content." Looks like a Moonbat has been here. Maybe from StopStoptheACLU.com?

I've entered a request to get it unblocked. Click here to add your voice, too. Don't know how many of these have been locked out, but I'll update if I see any more.

I urge all of you to click the link above and request that SonicWall fix this rating, and allow the free-flow of information to its users.

UPDATE -- 1/23/2007: SonicWall will not budge, refusing to reclassify StopTheACLU.com.

I've Been FARKed!

Holy Crap!

I go out to the yard to build a covered swing (remember, I do live in Houston) and return 90 minutes later to discover an extra 500 page hits!

I've been FARKed!

Please FARK me again any time you want!
