I've definitely read about someone putting some extremely illegal data in the Bitcoin blockchain. I'd rather not go searching for it to confirm though.

  Yes, if it's illegal data like the DVD encryption key[1] embedded into Bitcoin, that's the kind of "bad bytes" that doesn't pressure the community to suppress it. If the past behavior in the Digg fiasco is an indication, illegal data like that permanently etched into a blockchain would be celebrated.
