Virgin breaking Wikipedia

Wikipedia has been added to a Internet Watch Foundation UK website blacklist, and your Internet service provider has decided to block part of your access. Unfortunately, this also makes it impossible for us to differentiate between different users, and block those abusing the site without blocking other innocent people as well.

Registered users are still able to edit. If you are currently blocked from creating an account, use our account creation tool to request an account with details of your block as explained below.

See the discussion on the Administrators' noticeboard for up-to-date information on the block. Please also contact your Internet Service Provider.

We apologize for any inconvenience and are working on resolving this issue as soon as possible.

An album cover from a 1976 record contains an inappropriate image, apparently.

Not just Virgin -- I'm on Be*, and I can't access that article either (it claims it doesn't exist, but not in the usual Wikipedia way -- as though it's a general page that doesn't exist on a server!). Ironically, it's an article about an album called Virgin Killer

On The Register

I'll put that in my thread in FC here... or should I have gone to General Broadband?
