Is shaw blocking certain "adult" websites?

K, so im surfing for my favorite "adult" website tomight and I get the
following message:

Request Blocked by Real-Time Classifier

Your request to URL "http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxcom/gallery.php" has been
blocked by the Webwasher Real-Time Classifier. The page was classified as
sexual, erotic or adult content (80%% probability in URL) which is not
allowed by your administrator at this time.

generated 01/Apr/2008:23:20:05 -0500 by ic3.nr.wp.int.shawcable.net
(Webwasher 6.6.2 Build 2970)

Now, im not stupid (and btw if you have nothing meaningful to contribute
please dont post) but I cannot beileve that Shaw would ever attempt to
sensor the internet. Im an adult, I have no kids, and generally I would
assume this was comming from an outside url provider, cept ive now seen in
twice on two seperate urls in 2 days..Which worked just fine before.
Webmasters are different too.
So before I call shaw and speak to a $9 an hour lacky who will have to refer
me to his "manager"...Does anyone have a real answer to this?

Any relavent info appreciated.

What he said. It's either on your computer or in your router (some routers
come with Cyberguard or similar software and a "parental controls" section.
Did you recently install a new router or upgrade the firmware for an
exisitng one?

Actually, from what I can tell after a bit of further investigation, it
looks like IT WAS Shaw.
