I once worked for a company that blocked Cuban sites because of .cu (which is the Portuguese word for the end of your digestive system), but did not block porn sites (or so I was told ;-).


Are you sure it wasn't because of the US embargo on Cuba? Companies outside the US often participate(d) as well, because they want to do business with the US and US companies.


The proxy replied with a message stating that the site was blocked because it was pornographic.


That seems like the sort of thing you check on your last day as you’re going out the door.

“The rumors are true!”

(Although less amusing, you could also just ask the IT guys and gals)
