i tried to visit a bands myspace by the name of Clit 45 (a small time punk band from the states) and it wont let me visit it because it has the word "clit" in it?

how is this even fair. it doesn't have to do with any form of sex. ITS MUSIC.

Try looking up places like esSEX, wesSEX, susSEX or Scunthorpe in UK. I know they are all blocked in KSA.

I'd say shame on the band for limiting their audience by caling themselves a vulgar name!

They are working for the intrest of the country,

it might not be perfect,

yet one cannot satisfy all,

If you call Q-tel and give them your blocked site, they can check into it and most possibly open it.

The filter Q-Tel uses is not very intelligent. Students reported that a Web Site describing the s*x life of the Tasman Tiger was blocked.

this country needs to stop regulating their own peoples internet. that should atleast be the one freedom anyone should have. but hey. thats just my views.
