Dave--

Just heard a report on CBS network radio that net-savvy football fans
around the country are being stymied in their efforts to learn about
this Sunday's Superbowl.  Seems the web-filtering software installed
on browsers e.g. in certain public libraries spots the "XXX" in
"Superbowl XXXIV" and interprets this to mean it's an adult porn site.
