The Blarg of Fosnez

Don't look up people. The Feces is about to hit the rotating ceiling appliance. (for those of you requiring monosyllabic prose, this means the shit is about to hit the fan) It would appear that the almighty ACMA ( Australian Censorship Management Authority ) blacklist of websites has been leaked online. 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...

Welcome to The Lodge Mr Rudd. Here is your guide to statehood: Thoughtcrime 101 Under what I can presume to only be some obscure anti-terrorism law (isn't that what all the "interesting" laws are today?), Victoria Police want to ban messages being posted on internet blogs about accused firebug Brendan Sokaluk. Under what law exactly I would like to know. Now, the police wanting to block the blogs, the police's lawyers wanting to block the blogs, and the police's lawyers actually being able to block the blogs are three separate things. I am sure that the police want to be able to do on the spot searches, and require you to give them your papers when asked. Also, free doughnuts would be expected from all store selling them. I'm sure in their minds "you have nothing to hide if you have done nothing wrong" is just fine. A Police State sounds like Utopia to them I am sure. Now, the lawyers may find some obscure law to justify this banning of these blog...
