I talked to a friend this weekend who informed me that because of last week’s marginalia post–you know, the one with the tree-nesting willies and the women who love them–his workplace’s web filter now blocks Got Medieval as an inappropriate use of work resources and flags it as pornography. So, be warned, this blog is no longer SFW.
Apparently, it’s not the actual content of the post that’s triggering the filter, though, but the link to Trashy.com*, the place from whence I snagged the comparison shot of the modern version of a sexy nun. So as it turns out, if I hadn’t attributed my source for the picture, the blog would probably be in the clear.
I’m not taking the post down or deleting the link, though. If the man wants to try to silence me, let him try. But I do worry what these filters are teaching our children. Plagiarism preferable to sexiness? Perish the thought.

*Which, as far as I’m concerned, is a pretty tame lingerie website. There were many sexier and NSFWer pictures available elsewhere, from domains probably not blocked by this particular web filter.
