I was just listening to the BBC radio 4 show, the now show, and they were talking about a site called "Net Authority" that has ridiculous rules for classifying websites as offensive such as "Thou shalt not post materials concerning bestiality, including interracial relationships.
God did not intend for different species or races to intermingle sexually. Any content that contradicts this natural law, directly or indirectly, is strictly forbidden." (the interracial bit being ridiculous, not the bestiality bit).

Anyway they looked at the sites database and found that the labour party website is marked as "adult only" because it apparently contains Pornographic material, Hateful material, Blasphemy, Offensive political material, Bestiality and/or interracial relationships

I decided to play around and found that

Digg is "blocked"
Apple has a "warning"
Google and Microsoft are "dangerous"
Facebook is "offensive", as is The Now Show itself (which was only added friday evening after the show)
The Gorillaz are "censored"
The BBC is "Adult Only"

anyway, you get the point wink.gif It gave me a laugh so I thought I'd pass it on for others to laugh at the nutcases biggrin.gif













By the way, it is a parody. Although I'm not sure The Now Show realised, although nor did I until I saw some of the sites on there and did some Google searching.

Wow, I'd say that Net Authority is pretty offensive themselves then. Seriously, lets move out of the stone age here...

I just submitted http://www.netauthority.org to them for review. HAHA!

Don't worry, I'm sure they have gotten plenty of emails like yours by now, before people realize what it really is. tongue.gif
