Not to mention, the site has exceeded the previous record (84) quite a few times, too.

Charlie Sheen HIV positive. No idea why this is like a big surprise or a huge deal in the media. He's both a drug addict and has had naughtiness with a lot of people (according to him). It's not a huge deal because modern therapy for HIV is really good. Most of the time it is one tablet per day and you barely have to worry about anything.

A medical student, family doctor, an internist, a surgeon and a pathologist go duck hunting.
The medical student is the first to raise his shotgun, but unable to tell if the duck is really a duck, he does not shoot.
The family doctor goes "here's a bird", shoots, kills. He concludes "it looked like a duck, sounded like a duck, was killed by duck shot, it was a duck!".
The internist point his gun, but does not shoot. "This probable bird certainly looks like a female mallard, but I must be sure of what I am killing before shooting. A juvenile Mesopotamian sea duck would look exactly the same!".
The surgeon goes "look, it flies! Boom", then turns to the pathologist and asks "So, what was it?".°

I'm way up here in the North of Iceland as part of my 6th year in med school. Weather is shaming outside and there's nothing to do in this small town right now.

I have internet here but it turns out that it blocks all DNS services, or so it seems. I can't use Hola (which I use to access Netflix because it's not available in Iceland yet), I can't video chat etc.

I've tried changing my DNS to unblock USA ones and to google's ones but they don't work, I can't connect to the internet when I use them.

Is there a way to circumvent this? I'll be spending a whole week here alone way up in nowhere with not much to do!

Two hundred years ago a writer in the London newspaper The Times would have agreed with you...
 

it is quite sufficient to cast one's eyes on the voluptuous intertwining of the limbs and close compressor on the bodies in their dance, to see that it is indeed far removed from the modest reserve which has hitherto been considered distinctive of English females. So long as this obscene display was confined to prostitutes and adulteresses, we did not think it deserving of notice; but now that it is attempted to be forced on the respectable classes of society by the civil examples of their superiors, we feel it a duty to warn every parent against exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion.

... except that the dance he is describing is the waltz that you regard with approval.
 
And therein perhaps lies some of the answer - outraging the more small-c conservative observers has been an important aspect of popular dance trends for so long now that it's unlikely to change any time soon.
