I’m sitting in the Panera Bread in Saugus, MA doing some work before heading across the parking lot to the store. I tried to access my weblog here at bryanstrawser.com and got this message:
This site is blocked by the SonicWALL Content Filter Service.
URL: http://www.bryanstrawser.com/
Reason for restriction: Forbidden Category “Pornography”
What the hell?!
I checked Sonicwall’s Category Descriptions and found this:
Pornographic sites containing sexually explicit material for the purpose of arousing a sexual or prurient interest.
Yup, you got it. My weblog is pornographic.
I guess I say FUCK too often.
Well, Fuck Sonicwall!

I warned my readers of the nefarious bryanstrawser.com sonicwall restriction all the way back in July.

that's what I get for missing staff meetings. I remember you posting this.
Funnier than hell.
I can't even find a link on sonicwall's webpage to ask them to explain their content rating.'

I can't check my e-mail from panera. It is on yahoo. This bothers me because I need my e-mail to conduct business. Although this upsets me, I am grateful that panera has free internet access unlike most businesses in my area.
