Pam writes, "Open Rights Group has produced a new satirical film to raise awareness of internet filters – a spoof campaign by the 'Department of Dirty'."

Ever thought the internet was just too big? Want to help clean up online filth? Welcome to the Department of Dirty

Watch the Department stop one man try to get one over us with his 'spotted dick recipe'.

The Department of Dirty is working with internet and mobile companies to stop the dirty internet. We need you to help us take a stand against blogs, charities and education websites, many of which are thankfully blocked by filters.

Department of Dirty

(Thanks, Pam!)
