Sounds about right.

I think it was Phil Cook who found an article a while back where some 
government official had decided that they were going to implement a 
system whereby all websites would be reviewed and rated according to 
their content, and parents would be able to install software that would 
control access to different sites according to the government rating level.

...apparently some people don't understand how the Internet actually 
works. ;-)
