Take that you Commies... you thought you'd be all Big Brother and block Hotmail because it was providing your citizens with too much unrestricted info from the outside world... well, you may have caused me not to receive my precious "Get a larger penis", "Become a millionaire in two weeks", and "Busty blonde bucksome bimbos" junk email for a whole two days, but I have beaten you and your antiquated internet filters.
Ok, so I found out that if you check your hotmail using Outlook, it still works... who knew that Microsoft was actually good for something?
