Oh nos! P@rn!

Things I find amusing about work #152: Gestapo content filters that catch completely inane data and deny you access to them.

For instance, consider for a moment the following picture from a recent post:

The picture above1 does not load at work and if you click on it (an action that would normally take you to a new page with a larger version of the picture), you see the following:

Access Denied (content_filter_denied)

Your request was denied because of its content categorization: "Adult/Sexually Explicit"

Needless to say I've been visiting this picture everyday in hopes that my system will get locked down for accessing "naughty" material and I'll be summoned before a tribunal and called to account for my perverted sins. At which point I'll show them a printout of the offending material, mock their lame content filtering system and call them to account for such a colossal waste of time and resources.

I will then probably be fired, but only because I'll be sitting before the tribunal naked.

1The Nikifor and Zniwa paintings have also been censored.

David,
It's not the filter's fault, it's that some artwork has been altered and in your photo, all the persons have been defaced!
