One more way in which LJ really really sucks.
sorchar suggested I post this here and since I haven't been around much, I figured she knew better than I. It's more of LJ 's crap so don't click the link if you don't want to read more stupidity from those people at 6A.



If they wanted their work to remain on LJ they should be drawing Snape cutting Harry's head off with a knife.

No. Really.

So there's this video of an execution. Not from a torture porn movie but you know...real life. As in a real live man cutting another man's head off with a knife while standing in from of a Nazi flag.

And where did this video premiere on the internets? On LJ.

It has apparently since been taken down, but LJ/6A/Sup (the Russian company LJ is partnered with) hasn't taken any action against the blogger who posted it. Sup's spokesman, Anton Nosik joins burr86, anildash and coffeechica as people who really shouldn't be speaking for their company. Or any other.

"Preliminary censorship is, of course, impossible on the Internet," Nosik says. "People post what they feel must be posted, and write what they feel must be written. There is a list of things that LiveJournal users agree not to do, but posting pictures of an execution is not on the list. There is a clause forbidding comments that incite ethnic hatred, but whether it applies to this particular video is an open question."

The full story is here.

Thank you to lilithilien for the head's up on this.

So now remember, folks.

Videos of people killing other people = okay.

Two men making love = BANHAMMER!

Wow, am I glad LJ has their priorities right. Let's think of the children. You know, the ones who might click on a link and see someone's head getting cut off with a knife.

'Cos it's all about the children, isn't it?

Oh and while you're thinking of the kids, here, have a nice cold Pepsi Max, won't you?
