NBC.com sure has a sense of humour. This is what their player showed me after watching a SNL clip, instead of some Sandler movie trailer: Yeah, no, I think I'll keep the URL filter on.
Indeed, I don't even care what made the browser refuse (I suspect CNN tried to connect to ads.cnn.com or something).
Those guys sure are cheeky to ask me to make an effort, so they can serve me ads: textbook definition of anti-feature. But to do it after I've seen the content I want, that's priceless
They also often ban users from watching stuff - I'm outside of the UK, and rarely get to view stuff, as they don't want me to. Otherwise, filters will work in your favour. I guess I could use a US based proxy to view stuff, but I never seem to get around to it.
Though often watch some good shows, like Weeds and Burn Notice (my 2 faves).
Hope all's good with you! Rob

It's also a relief to see someone else using "yeah, no" I do it all the time, but it's still sounds odd sometimes.
