Stupid Censorship, Stupid Security

Posted by jamie on from the every-day-is-Jefferson-day dept.

The 2003 Jefferson Muzzle "winners" are out. This year's crop starts with John Ashcroft and the U.S. Congress, and works its way down through the school board that voted to put Harry Potter on the restricted shelf. Innovation in censorship deserves recognition, read and enjoy. And in other stupid news, the winners of the Stupid Security Competition have been announced. I like that I'm being protected from tea. It makes me feel safe.

    ever suck a dog's dick? Because there's this really hot golden retriever that lives just down the street...

    Would that be wrong? I mean, he'd probably enjoy it, right?

    Man, I really want to suck that dog's dick...

      I haven't gone so far as to +6 the trolls. But I have put ACs to +1 and Karma to +0. I think I will be putting off topic and flamebait to +6. If it weren't for the goddamn ASCII art, I'd do the same for trolls. Can anyone else imagine an alternate dimension where slashdot trolls were dedicated to publishing images of Pam Anderson's boobs instead of the goatse guy's ass? I mean, goddamn.

  5. ANARCHY IN IRAQ by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Mr Rumsfeld insisted that words such as anarchy and lawlessness were unrepresentative of the situation in Iraq and "absolutely" ill-chosen.

    "I picked up a newspaper today and I couldn't believe it," he said. "I read eight headlines that talked about chaos, violence, unrest. And it just was Henny Penny - 'The sky is falling'. I've never seen anything like it! And here is a country that's being liberated, here are people who are going from being repressed and held under the thumb of a vicious dictator, and they're free. And all this newspaper could do, with eight or 10 headlines, they showed a man bleeding, a civilian, who they claimed we had shot - one thing after another. It's just unbelievable ..."

    Ansar Al Islam, which included a hundred or more Al Queda people from Afghanistan

    Just a quick point to say that Ansar Al Islam's base was actually in Kurdish held territories, you might want to take it up with the Kurds rather than with whatevers left of the Iraqi government.

    As to the Israel/Palestine problem? Clinton didn't fuck that one up, the leaders of the Likud party and other like minded nut cases did that one. They were so damned close to finally doing something right and then blam - a complete fuck up.
