Just as most internet users exaggerate the effects of SOPA, this article exaggerates the 'good' things about it:

I kinda figured there'd be some fallout over the anti-SOPA protests. Actually a bit surprised it wasn't worse - although there maybe more to come.

The only good thing I can think to come out of SOPA, is that there would be no more Over 9000 Youtube videos.

Indeed that Over 9000 joke is old and boring. If SOPA gets passed though there goes all my favorite mods like this one.

It gets better...

Megaupload readily made available copyrighted material including music, television shows, movies, pornography and even terrorism propaganda videos.

Megaupload... Supports... TERRORISM!

Hey, you know what that means?

We can NDAA your ass!

...and since you're New Zealanders, we don't even have to break Obama's promissory signing statement to do it!

Dyam we're good. 8)

PS. If there's protests against the new "internet child porn" law, how much you wanna bet Moot gets hauled away straight after?

 

[Sabre]

What's terrible about that is that from what I can tell the actual bill has nothing to do with child porn...They just want to use the Internet to track your credit transactions, right?

What do they do? Look out for people purchasing windowless Econolines and bulk amounts of candy, toys, and leather outfits?

Somehow I don't think it's going to go over well if I try to rally support against the act on Facebook...

Oh... Crap...

Here I go again...



...Dunno if someone can find me a better youtube video than that one? (At least this kid isn't reviewing children's toys on the side... Still....)

(At least this kid isn't reviewing children's toys on the side... Still....)

I lol'd

 

[Thothie]

Oh yeah, should you be lacking a smartphone, you can click that image for the youtube link. Would be nice to find a better one - also one that wasn't so dated though. Bill's been cycling through for a long time now.

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

I have a phartsmone. I'm viewing this page with it. what do now? (Other than click the link and I think my qr reader can read off of saved images anyway shut up)

 

[Thothie]

Well, you can either buy some full sheet labels (say at Officemax/Staples), print a sheet of them out, cut em up, and stick em up around your school... Or you can try to find a better youtube video for me, and make your own QRL with the on-line application found here:

If you find a better youtube video, however, give me a link, plzktnx.

I'll make a PDF of them for easy printing too, if it'd help.

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

I was just making a joke that I was viewing the page with my phone, hence couldn't use my phone to take a picture of its own screen. Fail, I guess

 

[Thothie]

Hey... Gay activist is being gay again! (No offense intended to our residents monkies,) This time about Megaupload:

Maybe getting a bit sensationalist now... But then again... Maybe not. Seems a good way to ride out the next financial crisis...

Oh yeah...

Best for more left-wing locales, I suppose.
