Italian Prosecutors Seek Prison Sentences For Google Execs
angry tapir writes "Milan prosecutors have sought prison sentences ranging from six months to one year for four Google executives accused of violating Italy's privacy laws over the posting of a video showing the bullying of a handicapped teenage boy. The prosecutor's request was backed up by a request by lawyers representing the Milan city council for €300,000 (US$452,000) in moral and material damages. The case concerns the posting on Google Video of a three-minute mobile-phone video showing a handicapped boy being tormented by his classmates in a Turin school."

That's strike 2, Google. If you put one more foot wrong I'm changing my homepage over to Bing.

Except sometimes a parent wouldn't have the heart to do this and would raise the deformed child to be a powerful warrior, promising that he will one day be able to be a spartan.
Sadly this was not to be as his deformities would make him unsuitable to join their ranks. In a fit of self loathing he would then lead the Spartan's enemies down a hidden route so the Spartans would be flanked and killed.
At least that is what I was led to believe by a highly accurate documentary I watched.
Similar to Greek Sparta
Ironic? This... is... TORINOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Google executives will have to take their place in line.
I plan to launch a similar action against these Italian politicians. After all, it was their country in which the crime took place. They stood by and permitted it to happen, didn't they?
To make matters worse, they haven't even responded to my letter demanding an apology. That's right. I sent it to Gino's Italian Deli in Montreal. It says "Italian Politicians" right on the envelope, so I know that it was addressed properly. If there was any doubt, it could have been forwarded to the Italian postal service.
There is no excuse. These people are criminals.
Parity: What to do when the weekend comes.
The Latin word Torino (the proper spelling of 'Turin') means "small crag" or "small cliff". Similar to Greek Sparta, this citystate was notorious for performing infanticide of small, weak, and handicapped children. These kids would be thrown off the cliffs to their deaths for no other crime than being genetically inferior.
Yeah. If only the Latin name wasn't Augusta Taurinorum, that has nothing to do with cliffs and all with the emperor's name and the name of the local people.
This all sounds like a bunch of bull to me.
If you want /. to take action against these posts, you'll have to join the church of Scientology first.
Then they'll listen. :)
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
They killed babies for being genetically inferior?
Well, if they discovered gene theory, in the centuries before Christ, I say more power to 'em!

To further that argument, I think the main culprit is Al Gore, who invented the Internet. No?
Well, America spawned him, and Columbus discovered America. There's your culprit. He's responsible for Bush, too, btw.
What a depressingly stupid machine.
