I don’t make a habit of going political. It always seams to break down to a bunch of screaming and then someone gets called “Worse than Hitler!
But enough about my ex-wife (Ba du du dump…Cthsssh) Thank you thank you I’ll be here all night.
I drew this FAITHFULLY REPRODUCED AND IN NO WAY EXAGGERATED image of a scumbag political lobbyist while reading about SOPA or the “Stop Online Piracy Act.” It was hard to do as my hands were shaking with a murderous rage that only the blood of the innocent could satisfy. See look at him. Busy buying politicians left and right. That’s what they do apparently.
I realize I’m late to the party on these protests, but since the asshats behind them aren’t going to stop, better late then never…. right?
Look, sure Piracy is a problem. If you create a product you should be able to reap the rewards of your efforts and not have it stolen, copied, or whatever. I’ve already had to fight a few people who took my designs and tried to pass them off as their own. It happens. But under this law my whole site could be shut down, because I had a single piece of content on it that someone found objectionable. Whether it was or not. And realistically I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
I am not smart enough to figure out a solution to the piracy problem, but I’m fairly certain laws like SOPA and PIPA are the wrong way of doing it.

Or watch this.
SOPA is basically just Congress putting a gun to major internet companies’ heads so that they can be paid huge amounts of money. Even then SOPA is an extremely bad idea. It’s trying to do the right thing, but it is doing it in all the wrong ways. I can almost guarantee that if SOPA and other bills like it were to ever be passed there would be huge protests across the globe to get it taken down because the bills would literally strangle the internet into an almost completely unusable form. And Anonymous is not going to help at all by “declaring war” on the governments that are supporting bills like SOPA.
Great post Carter and completely agree. I know where the zombie apocalypse needs to begin … Washington.
But there are no brains there. The zombies will starve.
I at first thought this was a special enemy idea for left 4 dead 3.
Someone should add that to the game. I could get my frustrations out.
The whole subject fills me with alternating rage and sadness that politicians can be bought sooo damned easily by one group or another.
Sickening.
Damn govt needs to get their nose outa everyone elses business. I say fire the lot of em and don’t hire replacements.
But if we get rid of them all who are we going to blame then? …I …I like blaming people.
It makes me feel big.
this is why it should still be legal to tar and feather poloticians
