In my very first contract one day the development manager steps out of his office with a sheet.
"Right you lot here's a list of websites you seem to be spending more time looking at than working, so don't think anything you do at work is secret from us.".
About third on the list was something like beefcake.com, not 100% sure as it didn't sound like a site my curiosity wanted me to look at. So no I've never been tempted at work, got a home PC for that. Must admit other's have been far more daring. RateMyPoo (or was it RateMySh*t?) was a particularly funny occurance. Very classy website that.
Obviously that was in the days before I found CUK, if it even existed back then, otherwise I'm pretty sure it would have been top

Kind of switched off at the first sentence of that article:
"Audits of workplace PCs by security firm PixAlert discovered that more than a quarter..."
Basically add whatever market they are selling to at the end of that.
One company I worked for used some American traffic tracking software that seemed to think that 25% of sites visited by the employees were 'related to terrorism'. It's all guff.
I did once get my revenge on a smarmy git of a co-worker who stabbed me in the back, and who used to sit and w*nk in an office most of the day. I 'obtained' his browser history of porn sites, and set various Macs (system 6.7.1, built in print spooler with timers) around the company to print off several dozen copies of it to departmental printers two weeks after I had left.... at differing intervals. There was no way they could find them amongst 300+ computers... they were worried for a month or so.
They eventually got round to monitoring web usage after that.Vieze Oude Man
