Operation Titstorm Hits the Streets
schliz writes "Hacker group 'Anonymous' is organising international, real-life protests of the Australian mandatory internet filter this coming Saturday. Protests will take place in major Australian cities as well as at Australian embassies around the world. The protests are said to be the second stage of 'Operation Titstorm,' which unleashed a prolonged DDoS attack on Australian government websites last week. Organisers of the so-called Project Freeweb said: 'If passed, this legislation will set a disturbing precedent at an international level. The public, not the Government, should have the right to decide what is deemed appropriate for you or your family to be exposed to.'"
Oh, I wish "tit storm" meant what my dirty masculine mind wants to think it means, and that the storm would wind its way through my town in the USA....
On the other hand, as BadAnalogyGuy proposed, if Anonymous really are "college-age basement dwellers who type out their screeds in between trips to the minifridge to get more Cheetos", then this would be exactly the kind of ideal they could get behind! :-P

So many people are completely insulated in what they want to believe (i.e. the sites they choose to go to) that the real enemy isn't what is right or wrong in what is happening. The real enemy is getting attention to your cause at the correct time. Anonymous is a major threat to all governments, they have the potential through their own "brand recognition" to bring enough eyeballs to a topic at the exact correct time that enough of them will stick and actually make some, no matter how minor, difference. This is a threat, it must be stopped or corporatism will fail. ;)
Shh.
I agree, it’s a bit sexist. Then again, what did you expect from 4Chan?
Don’t worry, we have a “Operation Dickstorm” just for you. ^^
But considering you are female and a geek, I guess you will prefer the titstorm anyway. ;))
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
Did I say that 'every' Australian feels like I do, or did I say that Australians 'generally' approve of some censorship?

lol, the light of the match would hurt your eyes and make you run back to your mom's basement.
Yes I did. That does not mean all Australians.

does it annoy you when i do that? does a lack of proper use of capitals make you uncomfortable? then try this on for size:
this is a sentence.
i write "i" as just i, not capital i.
