Ownage (http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/US_Dept_of_Justice_IP_address_blocked_after_%27vandalism%27_edits_to_Wikipedia)
Because when you're nation's government sucks to the point that a mere website can block them...

I lol'd. Hard.
-
Wiki-pwn-edia... Wiki-pwen-edia... Wiki--aw, forget it.
Wait, so Wikipedia somehow block the actual justice department website? Or was it just the Wiki about them? 'Cause I could understand the latter.
-
I liked how the article had a quote from a "Wikipedia editor." Heck, I'm a Wikipedia editor.
I should put that on my business card.
-
That's like...wow. I mean, the only thing you can compare this to is like the U.S. Department of Justice getting blocked by Wikipedia. It's in its own league.
-
Why? The government doesn't own Wikipedia. The people do. What do you call the Presidential candidate that doesn't win, if not "blocked"?
I guess what I'm saying is that the really sad thing is that we expect the government to have authority over everything on the internet.
Although I will admit it was hilarious.
-
Proof that the government is slowly collapsing.
The Web-Bot Project predicted the demise of the United States sometime in 2009.
-
I wouldn't cite this as evidence that the government is collapsing. Wikipedia does not belong to the United States government any more than TMK does. In fact, the English Wikipedia is more controlled by Europe... Check this out... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis) But our government thinks they can do whatever they want. The Internet is its own world, which will not succumb to imperialism.
I'm going overboard here. :P
-
Fight the Power!
-
But our government thinks they can do whatever they want.
Which is why our government is collapsing.

I have nothing to say on this topic, except that this picture pwns..

I think the government has a little longer than a year. Barring any drastic measures by the Federal Reserve, World Bank, and Trilateral Commission, of course. And the reptilians.

Is that Uncle Vernon?
-
Yes. It's this macro my brother made that was lying around. Well, actually, he didn't intend for it to be a macro, but...

I like how my quote in your sig complements it.

Someone should post a picture of Dudley in a T-Shirt that says "I beat Anorexia!"
-
I like how my quote in your sig complements it.
Isn't it great when things just work out perfectly?
-
It depends what worked out perfectly and for who.
-
Well, if something works out perfectly, that means there's nothing wrong!
-
Something could be perfectly wrong.
-
But for someone who wanted things to go perfectly wrong, that would be perfect.
-
Actually, I meant something could work out perfectly for you, but awfully for your enemy, for example.
-
But could something be perfectly awful?
-
It could be awfully perfect.
-
Such as if King Dedede actually got the drop on Kirby on the 4Kids anime:
"That's awful perfect!"
-
Anime Watcher!!!!! ACTIVATE THE ALARM!!!!! (BWARRRRRM! BWARRRRRRM! (or some kind of alarm)) And activate the classic chase scene while your at it!
-
Irrelevance Dispenser! Activate the annoyance meter! (WHIP! CRASH! (or some kind of explosion)) ...
Ah, but seriously. You have something against anime [watchers]? I wonder if you can call anything that appears on 4Kids representative of anime. All we need is Chupperson to come say something.
-

Yeah uhhh lots of people here like anime.
-
The chase scene's Cartoon Network, not anime!
-
Cartoon network used to be a good channel, back when they had "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays" and "The Powerpuff Girls" and "Dexter's Laboratory." It all when downhill when the changed "Cartoon Cartoon Fridays" to "Fridays," and introduced [with the possible exception of Ben 10] shows that were obviously created, drawn, and planned in 5 minutes, and had a run of less than that. All in an attempt to be "cooler." It's sickening. Now Disney has all the best cartoons (which isn't saying much).
-
I barely watch TV anymore except Nick At Nite (it'll go down the drain in a few years.... the show Friends is supposed to be on Nick At Nite in 2010), Family Guy, and that's pretty much it. I live on television DVD's and old movies. TV nowadays is just too awful to watch.
-
You're not kidding. I wish they'd hurry up with some new Heroes episodes.
-
You know you're getting old when you saw shows on Nick at Nite in their original broadcast runs.
-
Well, it helps that Nick at Nite's lineup is getting ridiculously recent. Most of the shows are from the 80s and 90s, and even TV Land is usually in the 70s.
Then again, the 90s were longer ago than we realize. I always forget that we're almost at the end of this decade (and still haven't decided what to call it).
-
"Recent"?
The best way to figure it out is that Nick at Nite usually airs shows that premiered 2 decades earlier.
Back in the 1990s, they had shows as recent as the 1970s and had good runs until the early-to-mid 1980s.
When the 2000s started, they started acquiring shows that premiered in the 1980s that also ran into the next decade.
So when the 2010s start, when you've learned the formula, it's not surprising that they've acquired Friends and other popular sitcoms that premiered the late 1990s.
You only consider them recent because you saw them back on their original networks, in their original runs.
-
Maybe I'm just remembering the pre-TV Land Nick at Nite, which had a lot more 50s shows. At least, that was all I watched on it back then.
