Actually thats one of the reasons that filters are so ineffective. You 
can do your best to block the bad sites and then still accidentally see 
a bad image on an otherwise good site. You could get spyware/adware and 
have them display bad content on good pages.
This makes even whitelisting far from foolproof. It's a hard, hard 
problem to solve.
