Fun with Free Speech!
[info]wtf_inc is a community for posting things that make you go "wtf?!" It used to be a lot of fun back before somebody decided it was acceptable behavior to rip the internet head off anybody who dared offer a link that's been posted before, but I digress.

[info]dorcha_sidhe posts this - an article in which the maintainer of Body Modification Ezine whines about being forced to comply with US laws. It's self-pitying and scores high on the tl;dr. Comments include the usual melodramatic 'so glad I'm not an American' and 'Bush sucks even though he wasn't personally responsible' sorts of things. A couple of people smell rats.

Among them is [info]njyoder, who declares the whole thing a 'Bullshit publicity stunt'. He is probably right. But the wank begins because it appears that the Canadian media pissed in his cornflakes. His point seems to be that since Canadian TV networks must air a certain percentage of Canadian-produced content, there is actually no such thing as free speech in Canada.

Okay!

I also don't quite get why Canadians are supposed to be ashamed that we have stricter child porn laws than the US...
