Australia's much-vaunted "internet filter"

Despite the fact that the vast majority of people don't want it, the costs of implementing it, and fears that it will slow internet performance... both Telstra and Optus implemented the first filtering list earlier this week.  Oh noes!  What will we do?

Hmm, turns out that not only is someone's kung-fu not the best... but that their implementation method is so laughably simplistic that it's not funny.

I'm trying to decide if both companies tried to take this route so they could say they've done it while providing an unbelievably easy escape method, or if yes - they actually are that dumb.
