Ha ha ha! MINE sure does! :-))
If you go to the wrong site, you get a pop-up that says something like "STOP! You are attemptiong to access a FORBIDDEN site, blah blah blah..."
It then goes on to state their policy on Internet use.
If the site contains any bad words, or naughty images - that's it!
They also block any web-based e-mail, like Excite, Yahoo, or Hotmail, which is perfectly understandable, in my opinion - the risk of a virus is TOO high.
It is rather odd some of the sites that they block, like
http://www.theonion.com/content/
It's not like we spend our days at work looking up porn, or gopher holes on how to build a bomb!
I think they also block

Ordinarily, we are FAR to busy to nose the Net when at work. Most of us (who actually WORK) only have time during lunch or breaks! :-))
Me, I just read the news from AP or the New York Times, or browse recipes, when I have time, or if things get slow. They also permit http://www.noaa.gov/
Bottom line: the computers belong to them, and they are paying us for our time, so it is THEIR call!

Some do, some don't, depends on the employer.
