A sentiment you may find appropriate, regarding a sandy place near and dear to you.

<< vulgarity warning for the squeamish >>

Oops, yeah, it does get somewhat vulgar. I didn't think to put a warning on it because Penny Arcade is pretty mainstream.

(It's a comic strip, and one of the characters is expressing his viewpoint on the latest Dune books).

Should I wait until I get home from work to click on it?

(i.e., I don't so much care about vulgarity, uless it's truly beyond the pale, but I don't want to get in trouble or show up on our nanny's log too many times.)

Your work filter couldn't catch the words because they're part of the comic graphic [Smile]

But even if it could, I doubt it would have much of a problem with it. The (slight, from my perspective) offensiveness of the comic is conveyed without using words that are particularly offensive in and of themselves (but one, which is very common nowadays, perhaps unfortunately), instead using a couple of colorful metaphors to convey the opinion.
