Movement to Block Digg at Work?

This is a simple question from a simple man.  Like most of you, I toil the day away in a cube.  My only relief: a one hour lunch break and Digg.  You can imagine my surprise when I went to go submit a story yesterday and received this shocking message, "Access blocked. Consult your administrator."

Red-faced with rage, I sat at my desk and zoned out for the rest of the day.  After some deep breathing I called my friend Jon.  He told me that he's NEVER been able to submit a story to Digg from work, let alone "Digg" anything.

Since this blog and podcast is all about things work-related, I was wondering - is this a cultural phenomenon that we should all expect more of?  As sites get big, will our employers block us?  And if they do - do any of you know of any workarounds?

I've lost the right to visit several sites over the last month. Thankfully I can still access Digg, Reddit, Pandora and a few others. I'm blocked from some career stuff, e-mails and anything related to Howard Stern. My boss needs to get over it.
