It’s all about the design of the language and I agree with the author completely when he says, “Most languages have so much friction and awkwardness built into their design.”

This has worked for me for as long as I can remember. To get around a blocked site, as long as i’m trying to view flash or other 2.0 stuff, I just translate english pages from spanish to english. What happens is any english (which is everything) just gets passed right on, but the results come from google instead of the target site.
