It depends on what they're using to block it. My work uses metaframe tags, which are like descriptions of what is on the web site. I was trying to find the Hostess (King Dons, Ho Hos, etc,) site at work and googled on Twinkies. I found a cool web site by a former marketing agent for Twinkies and tried to go to that site. I started laughing hysterically because Websense blocked it for "Tasteless". I guess the site said that Twinkies have no taste and tasteless would be related to porn or something.. I dunno. But I can't read about Twinkies at work..LOL.
However, as a LAN System's Analyst, I can tell you that it's not all about "wasting time" but about using excessive bandwidth, increasing exposure to viruses, and other security problems more than being worried about wasting time. Our corporation keeps increasing bandwidth every six months or so and it's always totally saturated at lunch time and on Friday afternoons. People are forever downloading all kinds of spyware and adware and it can take hours to get a machine clean again, which uses up a lot of corporate resources when you have 19,000 computers.
