WTF? (NEW) (not related to mark twain)


In the making of this blog, I ran into the Bess blocker quite a few times. The reasons the sites were blocked were actually pretty funny. Here are the funniest/strangest reasons the Mark Twain sites were blocked:

Profanity -- Mark Twain wrote books in the 1800's. Back then, some words were accepted differently than they are today. Being in HIGH SCHOOL, I think we can handle some swearing.

Humour -- ...um... We're not allowed to laugh???

Games -- Whoever makes games related to Mark Twain must really need something else to do. (see "older posts")

Pornography/nudity -- Mark Twain... AUGH!!! For once, I THANK Bess for blocking something...


Media -- This is why the YouTube vids at the bottom of the page don't work. Why are YouTube and other video sites blocked, anyway? Many of the videos, like the ones I wanted to show here, are very informative and can help with school work, not distract from work.

Free Thought -- If you go into Ms. Lind's room and look on the billboard behind her desk, you'll see a printout of a Bess page that's blocked for this reason. I thought it was fake, but now...

Learning the Truth -- Government conspirators rejoice! You were right!

Because I can -- Bess blocked it because it could... Is it developing intelligence? Maybe. Is it going to block the internet to every human around the world, then take over computers and robots and enslave the human race? Probably. Am I paranoid? Yes. Am I going to laugh when I run away and hide while all of you are enslaved? DEFINITELY.

The end.
