Just as a sidenote...

Want to hear something really stupid? 2 posts ago I linked to everyone's favorite cough drop, Ricola. At least I think I linked to it. I can't visit that site. Why? Because I'm on my work laptop, and our oh-so-smart corporate filter/firewall thinks that the Ricola webpage is restricted, as it deals with... wait for it....

Your organization's Internet use policy restricts access to
this web page at this time. The category "Supplements and Unregulated Compounds" is filtered.

Exsqueeze me? Seriously? SERIOUSLY? They're cough drops, not recipes for methanphetamine! Their commercials feature fully clothed (in lederhosen, no less) men and women with giant trumpets on the 'Sound of Music' set!

Edit: 'Monkey' label added because I think they're the ones working the filter technology.
