GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
My company just blocked doubleclick.com from the corporate firewall. Who cares, you say? Doubleclick is just that annoying internet advertising agency, right? Right, but now every webpage I open up instead of having 9 small ads around the page has nine ugly blue boxes with big red letters that says "Goldman Sachs Content Filter - Access Denied."
I can now be constantly reminded that I have just "attempted to violate the firms policy on use of Internet." Perhaps I should "re-read the firm's policy on the use of the Internet, E-mail, and other messaging systems, and comply strictly with that policy."
It's not like I'm downloading porn. It's the friggin Wall Street Journal.
