I’m sitting here in a Taco Bell with free wi-fi, and can’t visit several of the websites I normally read, due their being categorized under “religion.” Example: [Religion Prof: The Blog of James F. McGrath - The Blog of Dr. James F. McGrath, Clarence L. Goodwin Chair in New Testament Language and Literature at Butler University, Indianapolis](http://www.patheos.com/blogs/exploringourmatrix/) Which leads me to inqure: WTF? ---

BTW it also filters out all ads on SDMB but I’m not complaining about that. 😉 ---

It’s not just customers who use the wi-fi. I presume the Taco Bell employees also use it. FWIW, I’m blocked from religious sites at my work too, amongst many other categories.
