The killjoys over at Stokes HQ have cracked down on staff and stars using Facebook during "office" hours, with Seven's firewall now blocking everyone's favourite social networking site.

Evidently there was one too many Seven staffers in the group "I Will Go Out Of My Way To Step On A Leaf That Looks Particularly Crunchy".

Needless to say, they're all pissed.

"It's annoying for people like us who actually need to use it for work - seriously, we use it for research, trying to locate people and that sort of thing," a Seven news staffer said yesterday.

"It's not like we're sitting there poking or sending virtual cocktails," the angry staffer said.

HA! Can you imagine?

"You have been poked by Jono Coleman."
"David Koch wants to send you hotness!!"
"Jennifer Keyte has sent you a magnum of champagne."

This is a sad, sad day for Seven employees. Someone better get the union onto it, quick smart.
