weird sites being blocked.
i'm a film student at a highschool that is managed by novell. for a satirical project, my group
was including a few characters from the show pokemon. in order to make costumes, my group
implemented the time-honored google image search. while looking up images for costume
designs, one character (a hitmonlee to be specific) was blocked by novell in an image where it
was performing a flying kick, nothing wrong with that image unless one does not agree with the
concept of pokemon, in which case, one would be inclined to block all images of all pokemon. in
any case, another picture of the same pokemon was not blocked even though the image was a
fan "art" that depicted the hitmonlee being raped in the behind by another pokemon with 3 sets
of male genitals.
being in an art class that relies solely on computers, we turn to the internet for looking up
images, photoshop tutorials, filmographies, et cetera. As such, we are VERY OFTEN blocked by
novell's uncanny nack of "enhacing your internet experience." some blocked sites are validly
blocked; some, not. anyhow...novell seems to be a spastic, bipolar moderator of school internet
sites. it is practically worthless for what it actually does. my girlfriend is currently looking up
garter belts for prom, novell hasn't blocked any of the sites she's been going to.
