I can see it evolving, though -- you reading a game review might not offend anyone, but it could be construed as inappropriate use of business resources (your time and the company's computers/bandwidth). Yes, it's silly from a techie point of view, but techies aren't on the jury, or the BoD. It's HR's job to be paranoid, and it's the filtering software publisher's job to continually expand their blocking capabilities in order to sell more software.
