YouTube Blocked In Pakistan
kokoko1 submits this snippet from The Telegraph, which reports that Facebook isn't alone — now YouTube, too, is being censored in Pakistan. "The blocking of YouTube comes a day after a Pakistani court blocked Facebook amid a growing row over a competition on the social networking website to design cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad." Update: 05/20 18:58 GMT by T : According to an anonymous reader, Wikipedia and Flickr are out, too.
Update: 05/21 12:11 GMT by KD : And now add Twitter to the blocked list. This post claims that more than 1,000 sites are being blocked in Pakistan.

Thankfully we have that freedom to be an asshole, otherwise we may have to be friendly. And we can't have that, people getting along understanding each other's views and disagreeing in a civil manner. Nah we gotta fist-fuck you with assholish behavior to show you how wrong you are.
So, let's start posting pictures of Mohammad (or a guy in a Bear Suit), on EVERY WEB SITE, as well as on our personal blogs, email signatures, tweets, SMS messages, business cards, everything. If we plastered the entire world with images of Mohommad, then the crazy-ass krackers out in the hot desert will either give-up and change their ways, or block everything, go back to living in caves, and not get anywhere near western media.
Either way, we win. They can't blow us all up with their non-working gasoline car-bombs. Or their non-working underwear bombs. There have to be more reasonable people in the world than radicals, otherwise we would have gone extinct long ago. There's more of us than there are of them.
If telephones are outlawed, then only outlaws will have telephones.
Fine, I hope the religious idiots (opps, I mean devoted followers) cut the country off completely. Here, let me help, here is a site that shows images of the prophet without hiding him in a burka, (which should always be done when your women or prophets are too ugly for the rest of the world to see them without bringing down shame on you).

Perhaps they should block google.com, or maybe even the whole .com tdl.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
But that was posted by Anonymous. Maybe the Prophet posted it himself?
Absolutely, The edict against eating pork was perfectly sensible when the rules were written two thousand years ago, good job, sadly like most of the rest of our religious cannons it is now perfectly barking mad advice since the advent of scientific understanding which explains what the risks are of consuming different foods. Either the religious cannon gets updated or religion becomes the enemy of humankind. (Catholicism currently would rather we died in our own shit rather than limiting population growth for example, never mind the outdated politics that says child abuse should be brushed under the carpet because it might detract from church authority). Currently we are watching legacy organised religion become the enemy of humankind. Its up to the bosses of the religions to sort themselves out or the rest of humanity will eliminate them - permanently. Reality ended Soviet communism and Mao's China quickly updated themselves once he was dead but current Christianity and Islam for example have less than half a century before the rest of us get fed up with them and kill the lot of them. I wont live that long but you will see this war fought out during your lives. I have no objection to religion but it has to adapt to circumstances or it will die, this is just a scientific fact, like gravity. Excuse me I have to make myself a BLT before I get really angry....
Facts are history now plebs have politics for religion on social media.
Quick, dress /. in a bear suit....
