Carl-E:
OK, I had a weird experiance recently.
My daughter was hospitalized, and while at the hospital (Children's hospital in Pittsburgh), we were online (they have Wifi). I could get to all the stuff I usually do, except one webcomic. Yu+Me Dream was blocked - probably something to do with the subtitle, "A surreal lesbian webcomic". I'm guessing it was the word lesbian in the title, since several other lesbian themed and just plain dirty webcomics (Simply Sarah, Curvy, even Oglaf) could be accessed fine. I didn't think to try Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space at the time...
She's in a rehab center now, and I can access everything from there (including Yu+Me), with one exception...
Questionable Content.
There's a page that says it's been restricted due to "mature themes and content". To be honest, I haven't tried Oglaf or Curvy from there yet, but I was wondering -
What kinds of restrictions have you run across when trying to access something harmless? I'm not talking the usual workplace firewalls, I mean relatively public access sites that just didn't let you go somewhere you're used to going!

Sorry to hear about your daughter, Carl-E. I hope she gets to feeling better. :-(
Huh, that's weird.
Never had that problem. Well, except on school computers. Not in school anymore. Never really use the library internet access. Usually just to look up something about a book.
No problems with it at home though, right?

I wish my school was cool enough to not block QC and Anders Loves Maria (not to mention Bear Nuts as well)
The only webcomic my school has yet to restrict is Eerie Cuties.

I live in canada, home of the free internet.
