Swedish Authorities Attempt Pirate Bay Shutdown
Several sources are discussing the recent attempted shutdown of The Pirate Bay by Swedish authorities. It seems that following the recent court defeats and the pending civil actions, Swedish authorities threatened TPB's main bandwidth supplier with a hefty fine in order to get them shut down. Not surprisingly TPB has relocated and is back online although the tracker still seems to be down. As a gesture of their "appreciation" TPB plans on sending a mocking t-shirt to the people believed responsible for the takedown attempt.
"I sued The Pirate Bay and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt"
Don't you just hate it when they just accidentally the entire pirate bay?
What's the T-shirt going to read? "I tried to take down The Pirate Bay and all I got was this lousy T-shirt" ?
You just got troll'd!
Well, in my defense, I'm too dumb to figure out *how* to use bittorrent, so I don't use it to download anything, legal or illegal. But I'm still rooting for them.

No, but it sometimes annoys me when people leave critical words out of their sentences.

Quit breathing and stealing all that oxygen, you malicious bastard!
We'll run out!
When someone accidentally the something, assume that the missing bit is:
A: Destroyed, for things that function
B: Rectally Inserted, for things that fit in a rectum.
Example: ..featuring a banana.
