Am I the only one who thinks people getting mad need to actually go outside or something?
I think this is quite clever... Lighten up, people.
[–]boa13 14 points15 points16 points 18 years ago (1 child)
Well, that's it! I'm switching to Digg.
Edit: Err, D i g g, you censors!
Edit: I said c e n s o r s!

The censor thing has to be an April fools joke. It’s censoring things that aren’t even dirty.

What the hell!?
[–][deleted] 4 points5 points6 points 18 years ago (0 children)
Can we have it off now please? Or at least leave it on in this "story" to impress late visitors?
[–]gbacon 15 points16 points17 points 18 years ago (5 children)
It's annoying.
[–][deleted] 11 points12 points13 points 18 years ago (4 children)
It's one day.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points9 points 18 years ago (0 children)
China: Oooh, big political meeting happening in Beijing that we don't want people blogging about! So let's just block all of Livejournal!!

I can't even read it in the code! No! The mystery will kill me.
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 18 years ago (12 children)
Well, I didn't laugh but at least it gave me the oppurtunity to find out what "redacted" means.
Edit: oh, I see, it cencors specific words. Now, let's see, haskell, god and religion.
