Dear Qatar: write me back! TTYL! BFF!

I discovered while on my Mideast tour that my website was censored by the government of Qatar:


I waited until I was safely out of their country (I'll note that, despite the 100+ degree heat and the fact that I was on a US military base, I had to cover my shoulders to immigrate into the country, and also, that my copy of the magazine Muscle and Fitness Hers was deemed "pornography") before sending this email:

To: censor@qatar.net.qa
Subject: site blocking question

Dear Qatar Internet Censor,

I was in Qatar last month, trying to view my website, Jenisfamous.com, on the internet, and I saw that it was blocked. It is nice of you to provide an email address on the "blocked" webpage.

Can you tell me what specifically has caused my website to be blocked to everyone in your country? Perhaps you could reconsider this decision so that people could enjoy my comedy?

Thank you very much,
Jennifer Dziura

So far, no reply! What's up, Qatar?

I fucking hate NSFW filters (or in this case NSFQ ones). My agent can't actually look at my website. Yet nowhere can I find the exact rules for what will get your site filtered NSFW so I can change it.

Oh petty workplace fascism...
