Humerous ads doesn't change the fact that censorship is really, really annoying. This time I was going to the website to check out a flash player I was thinking of having done for one of my websites - the last time I came across it was when trying to access a website about safe colours.
Qatar now also forces Google safe search on us.
Again the problem is you can be searching for something quite innocuous and have it be blocked.
I searched for this man, former Lord Mayor of London, and a character in a children's story and and pantomine.
