Egyptian Father Names His Daughter "Facebook"
An anonymous reader writes "An Egyptian man has decided to show his appreciation towards Facebook for its role during the revolution in his country by naming his firstborn daughter Facebook. From the article: 'Egyptian dictator Muhammad Hosni Sayyid Mubarak was in power from 1981 until February 11, 2011, when he resigned after 18 days of protests. Facebook has been credited for helping organize regime-ending protests in the country. Although the Egyptian revolution saw some planning done via Twitter, direct text messages, and other forms of electronic communication, Facebook has come to symbolize all the forms of social media that people used to organize the revolutions in the Middle East.'"
In Egyptian, Facebook means Precious Little Poop Machine.
Goatse and Tubgirl changed my life, but I won't be naming offspring after them.
Trolling is a art,
Facebook has been credited for helping organize regime-ending protests in the country.
How could she have helped organize protests when she has just been born?
Being sued by Facebook is referred to as "Getting Zuckerpunched"...
This had the unfortunate effect of further handicapping her already struggling social life

I wonder if this father and other Egyptians who used Facebook in their revolt know that Zuckerberg and many of the other founders of the service are Jews. Or that the Intel processors they use to access the site are designed by Jews in the Jewish state of Israel.
For those of you who don't know, when female reporter Lara Logan was attacked and sexually molested by an Egyptian mob, the attackers were shouting at "Jew, Jew, Jew!" at her. She isn't even Jewish, but there's a pathological hatred for Jews in much of the Middle East.
Part of the hardcore faithful who believed in Apple long before it was cool again to do so
Ah that's nothing, if you want some really dodgy names go to the Philippines. Dildo, Lolita, Thumper, Flipper, Ding Dong and Hitler are a few that spring to mind. I love Filipinos but seriously.
How Ironic though, since having a child is generally viewed as the second biggest destroyer of freedom, (after marriage.)

Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are subtle, and quick to anger.
Egypt is a popular holiday destination for Israeli's. Remember that haters will always exist but most normal people are normal people. If Germans can visit Israel, Japanese can visit Korea/China, Americans can visit pretty much anywhere, Canadians can visit the US, Belgians can visit Holland etc etc then Jews can visit Egypt.
The real feelings in the middle east are far more complex then fits in a Fox news flash. In fact it is YOU that cares what religion a founder of a website is or even what the religion might be of a guy who worked on a cpu. YOU noticed this, not some random Egyptian whose own believes ain't even known.
Those protests you might have seen burning American/Israeli flags? Well, we know now what they really were. Staged protests not supported by the masses. We SAW what happened when the masses think something and gosh, no signs of hatred for the Zionists or the great Satan but for their own corrupt MUSLIM leaders.
Al Queda failed. They tried to install hatred and accomplished nothing. Peaceful protests without hate for other races/religions changed the region in a matter of weeks.
Do you judge the US by the KKK?
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
Lolita is not a dodgy name. It's a perfectly acceptable short form of Dolores in Spanish. That English people have decided to turn it into a bad word is your thing. But it's not dodgy.
I like my dinosaurs feathery, and my pterosaurs hairy (or is it pycnofibery?)
