The Blarg of Fosnez

Image Source What the hell is with labor and censorship??? Our good old Captain Bligh just goes from strength to strength - suggesting police have the power to slap people with on-the-spot fines of $100 per hit for swearing. This is my favorite part of the article: Ms Bligh said the move would increase efficiency, save time and fast-track more important matters in the courts by stopping minor public nuisance offenders from clogging the justice system. Yes indeed, we wouldn't want people frivolously having their day in court for a frivolous offence do we? So where is an exhaustive list of "Swear Words"? Will I be charged for sitting at a restaurant and saying "that was a bloody good meal"? Well Frak that.

Welcome back students to your second censorship subject: Censorship 102 - What they really think about you. You will find this subject draws heavily on matters covered in Censorship 101 - Controlling what they see , especially from chapters: 1. Convincing your people you need Internet Filter 3. Introducing your Internet Filter 6. Dealing with the backlash - The 'Child Porn' Excuse 7. Dealing with the backlash - The 'Bloody Pirates' Excuse 13.

Don't look up people. The Feces is about to hit the rotating ceiling appliance.

It had to happen, and it is better it happens now. The saviour of free speech , WikiLeaks (Not to be confused with Wikipedia), has posted it online. Interestingly, I cannot access WikiLeaks at the moment, this could be due to a crap internet connection, or perhaps it is a little more clandestine than that (do I hear black helicopters?). According to the Sydney Morning Herald , who have apparently seen the list, the below are some of the more interesting things on the blacklist: A Queensland dentist (Not illegal) A tour operator (Not illegal) Several Christian sites (Not illegal) Fetish sites (Not illegal) Fringe religion sites, such as satanism (Not illegal) Euthanasia how-to sites...

Make sure you are *always* wearing clean underwear. You never know when the police may come into your home, and it would hardly be proper to be caught in dirty underwear now would it? In a move that has surprised no-one, but has anyone-with-half-a-brain concerned, NSW police can now covertly plant evidence search a person's house , without that person's knowledge. This is of course set up under "Anti-Terrorism" legislation. Takes the meaning of a State Premier to a whole new level. Long live The Party comrades.
