How to surf your guilty-pleasure web sites

Let’s face it, sometimes after work you want to catch up with some of those web sites you’re not allowed to at the office. Lest your spouse catch you surfing the latest gossip about Paris Hilton or Donald Trump, may I direct you to www.workfriendly.net. Its operation will become obvious; its applications universal.

John says:

Isn’t it supposed to be workfriendly.net?

Paul says:

Hey Tod, did you mean to link to workfriendly.net (not .com?) The link there leads to a domain squat. (Then again, I couldn’t verify workfriendly.net since within CBC it is blocked by AdSense for proxy avoidance…) Looks like a clever tool, though! Not that I’d surf anything non-work-related, ahem.

Tod says:

Oops! Thanks John and Paul. Fixed.

Phil says:

Yknow, however juicy the news is…

I don’t want to know if Britney wore underwear today or not.

If I’m not mistaken, that’s called “going commando”, right?

Well, regardless, the only news I read is CBC News. Har.

Danielle says:

I used this so often at work it got put on the blocked list .

I swear I’m not a bad employee.
