You're wrong there.

I'm all for protecting my kids from the big bad internet, but you seem to be missing the point that the METHOD of blocking is flawed; it is still possible for sites to slip through the cracks. Censorship will lessen the chance of your kids stumbling onto something accidentally, but it's not an ironclad solution to ensure they'll never see adult content.

That's why I am advocating education (tell your kids, in an appropriate way for their age, that they may find something bad on the internet, and encourage them to tell you if they do) and basic parental supervision. The internet isn't a babysitter.
