Can Geeks Be Too Sexy?

Yes, according to Caribou Coffee's WiFi access, which blocks the site, Geeks Are Sexy.

This is a great example of how imperfect parental filters can be. Geeks Are Sexy is a sexy site . . . if you're into technology news is a turn-on.

I have previously been blocked from accessing The Superficial from a Panera Bread location, which felt more appropriate since I can understand why a place may not want screen caps from Paris Hilton's latest amateur video work on computer screens near people who are trying to enjoy their You Pick Two's.

Yeah, unfortunately, we're blocked by a few stupid content filtering applications because the word "sexy" is included in the url... but in the end, I think the name has more positive sides than negative ones :)

Blanket policing of just about anything is usually a problematic policy. Innocuous outliers will always get ensnared by the dragnet.
