are these guys fer real?

theregister.co.uk, recently got done by them for blasphemy. They seem to be a bunch of fundamentalist fruitloops. I recon we should all denounce ech others sites to drum a bit of publicity. ILE probably contravenes all off their 'regultions'

They've got something on their site going 'Won't somebody please think of the children?' or something like that

I think of the children every time I keep the net free, uncensored, and clean of the stupid fundamentalist religious codrottle which REALLY screws kids up far worse than good old fashioned sex or swearwords ever did.

Is blasphemy still a crime? How can you get done for it? Do they hang draw and quarter you?

I included links to free porn sites when I blogged about the site. I wanted to win that bible. I did get 7 emails telling me that the site is a hoax. The lengths some people go to just to get noticed.

Blasphemy isn't a crime anymore, per se. You'd have to combine it with obscenity in some way... Hmmm... The possibilities are endless!

You can still be hung for treason though. So no trying to bring down the Royal Family...

Actually, you can't anymore, though you can still be sued (as some have threatened to do to the Guardian). You could however be executed for treason, violent piracy and, ahem, arson in Royal dockyards for many years after the abolition of hanging for murder (the last British execution was in August 1964). In practice, though, it wasn't likely to happen, and the link was finally broken a few years back.

Needs to be High Treason, rather than just, er, mid-range treason, to get you strung up... Can't be bothered to go and look up the diff as seems unlikely to intrude on any poster's life before the weekend...

Awww! People read my blog! I'm all happy now.
As for Net Authority, a dickhead I know called RICHARD SMITH informed on one of his 'friends', because he's a dickhead, and said 'friend' found out and he tried to pass NA off as a parody. I think it's real myself - what a bunch of dickheads. Fundamentalist Christians complaining about violent imagery? Better hide that crucifix, then (copyright someone else who I can't remember who I stole that off)

Last person to be hung for treason was William Joyce ("Lord Haw- Haw"): I suppose the difference is that between his WW2 broadcasts and the Guardian's reasoned anti-monarchist arguments.

sample prank mail -

i may be reading it wrong but it would appear to me that this site which i was directed to from a reputable Christian site, the link saying it "dealt with the issues of transsubstantiation & metempsychosis (i hope i spelled those right) in a modern & enlightened manner" seems to actually be a sarcastic mockery of Catholic beliefs. Please investigate it & let me know what action you have taken if any.
yours sincerely

& the address if you want it, [email protected] - yes this is pretty immature & of course probably more than somewhat of a straw-man-shoot, but making up this kind of stuff is fun & i know that a lot of you probably spend a lot of time sitting at a computer wishing you had someone to insult or play mean jokes on..dob in yr mate's blog, ha ha... i figure even if these guys don't open all their mail it's still a good project to bombard them with nonsense. & if a few innocent people get hurt , ALL THE BETTER.

that link to them up there is wrong too, if anyone gives a shit...i mean i suppose i've wasted more of my/your valuable time on this than it really warrants...but you've gotta admire the scope of such a project , c'mon - "CLEAN UP THE INTERNET" , that's awesome.

...anyway i've decided it is a hoax. it's pretty thoroughly done tho'.......there's screeds & screeds of stuff that someone had to write that isn't even funny. the joke's more on free-speech idiots like me than on y'know "real" bigots. boo boo boo.

Yes, just now found out it *is* a hoax. What a shame.

These guys are for real. "Obligation seeks to empower citizens with the resources they need to protect children from the popular culture."

Look! A huge database of musicians that use explicit lyrics. "If you want to read the lyrics of an act, click on the links if provided. Be warned that you may be exposed to very vile language."

Look! A huge list detailing everything explicit that's ever happened on Jerry Springer. And every advertiser. Apparently, "Obligation will only take on battles that we can win."

On God, The Devil and Bob: "The terrible messages about drinking alcohol alone should have made NBC13 think twice about airing this stinkbomb," Metrock said. "I urge the station to move the program to very late night."

On Bruno's Supermarket: "Recently, your Lorna Road store had the Globe tabloid at a child's eye level. On the cover in one-inch capital letters: "NAKED JOHN TRAVOLTA MADE A GAY PASS AT ME! IN A SAUNA" "

I need make no witty comment.
