Sheep's website blocked by BA!

Having heard from Sheep that he'd updated his website recently, I thought I'd peruse his snaps from the comfort of the F/CR business centre at T4. Plugged the url into IE, and was aghast to get the following message:

Thank you for your co-operation.

What can we do to get this fixed? Perhaps Aunty Pucci could instigate an inquiry at the highest levels within BA??? I'm not sure what is on Sheep's site which could be considered "illegal or offensive"???? I know he's got a bit of a thing for Beaver these days, but surely that can't be it????

We need answers!

(Incidentally, Megabank also block's Sheep's website, but that doesn't merit a complaint on FT. Afterall, we also block www.abercrombie.com - there are bigger fish to fry! )
