The joy of Vodafone

.... or, Ruby on Rails is soft pr0n?

Vodafone Content Control
Trying to access the Ruby On Rails wiki page on i18n, I got the above error. I've no idea why Vodafone are suddenly sending this again - I've turned off content control before.
If Vodafone are going to implement this sort of scheme, they could at least get it right. Their filtering is obviously a bit dumb (I can't think of any reason why that page would be blocked, other than maybe the '18' in the URL).
The whole feature seems like overkill (at least for GPRS). How many under-18s do you know that browse the web for dodgy content via their mobile phones?
Anyway, enough ranting here. I'm gonna go call Vodafone and rant at them until they reclaim the GPRS charges it cost me to unlock content control again.
