What do GlaxoSmithKline managers spend their time thinking about? Drug development? Shareholder value? Apparently not.

The company's main preoccupation these days seems to be making sure its employees don't view "Hate and Discrimination" materials such as the web site operated by the Minuteman Project. Here's the message one emplyee got when he tried to access the Minuteman site:

The URL: http://www.minutemanproject.com/ is blocked for the following reason:

Access denied by WebWasher DynaBLocator content category. The requested URL belongs to the following category: Hate and Discrimination.

Here's a list of Glaxo's prescription medicines, and here's a list of their consumer health care products. Many of these products have close substitutes made by other companies--something those of us who support the Minuteman Project should keep in mind when we shop.

Correction, 2:22 pm: The decision to classify the Minuteman Project as a hate group probably was made by WebWasher DynaBLocator, not GlaxoSmithKline. I'm still not happy about it, but it's not fair to blame GSK for WebWasher's decision. So go out and buy some Levitra.
