Internet Routes Around South African Gov't

Mister B writes: "In an end-run around the South African government's plans to seize control of the .za domain, administrator Mike Lawrie took pre-emptive action and moved the primary .za zone file offshore. Revealing their naivete, parliamentary committee chairman Nkenke Kekana accused him of destabilising the net! Then again, the opposition think he's a hero. :-) More details on MSNBC."

I don't understand what is so trollish about this post I think it should be modded up.
I wish I had points now.

In a nutshell, South Africa, much like the rest of Africa, has a horrible AIDS epidemic. The populace does not know enough hard facts about it to really do much to help, although education attempts are being made. Folklore and such are common, and this includes such things as taking your brother's wife as your own upon his death. Of coarse, this really doesn't work out if he died of AIDS, but they don't know that. Some thought that sex with a virgin would cure AIDS. (Perhaps by the discovery that virgins never have AIDS?) How much more virginal can you get than a baby? http://www.poenews.com/stories/5760.html Other ingenious cures have been goats. http://www.worldonline.co.za/news/news_center_0203 25.460947.html
