I always knew there was something evil about this place!
I noticed it finally got blocked at work last week as well.

I suspect your work uses bluecoat proxies. Blue Coat categorizes websites. If a company uses Blue Coat proxies, they get the categorization from BC, and will probably have already had a set of block and allow rules created. I suspect Pelican Parts just got categorized.

You can check Blue Coat's website categorizations here.
