Since the primary intent of the policy is likely to forbid personal activity on company time, sites such as meebo.com must be blocked as well.
One can circumvent this policy by using some remote desktop service (vnc, pcanywhere, gotomypc, microsoft terminal services, etc etc), but you would still only be circumventing the technical restriction of the policy, not the intent - that you are on the clock and being paid to work, not play around.
