Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed

Earthquake Retrofit sends along a piece from The Register reporting on a nightmare scenario of legal jurisdiction on the Internet: a Pakistani lawyer has filed blasphemy charges, carrying the death penalty, against Mark Zuckerberg and other Facebook executives (and the pseudonomous user who initiated the "Draw Muhammad" contest last month). Pakistani police have apparently opened an investigation, according to this Google translation of a BBC Urdu report."

      "Mankind will never be free until the last King is strangled with the entrails of the last Priest"(and the last advertising shill is buried alive alongside them)...

      Look, we've got just about all the Kings finished off, but we have a long way to go on all the priests. Are you saying we need to preserve the last King until we're down to the last priest as well? That is going to complicate the logistics horribly.

      And God knows how long until the ad man goes down for the count. I think this whole timetable needs to be revisited.

    ah, but I've already learned what happens: I get e-raged at by Michael Kristopeit who proceeds to CAPS at me while telling me he's not raging, while making passive aggressive threats. Kind of like Muslims who demand the beheading of those who challenge Islam's peacefulness.

    If you've ever logged on to Facebook, you have only yourself to blame. I like Zuckerburg - after investors complained about the company's wasteful spending, wondering whether he was wasting all their money on hookers and blow, Zuckerburg once filed an expense report itemizing his expenses as "hookers and blow". He's the hero of anyone who has ever struggled with getting expenses denied.
