Hey all,
I came across this page on the website of King Abdul Aziz City (what I am doing here, dont ask me!), which basically monitors the internet in the Kingdom. They have a list of the most popular sites. You should check it out-- you can get to know what the people of the Kingdom are like.

A recent newspaper article talked about how many people try to access porn sites, and that 92% of the internet users have tried to access porn at one time or another. These people don't include those who have internet through the satellite, which means they have uninterrupted and unfiltered access. There are also some people who know how to by pass proxy as well.
Oh well, what I can say is that at times, it is very annoying when you want to access a webpage and it is blocked and you are asked to fill in the "unblock website request form."
Take care,
Mansur
