Brickbat: Bad Neighborhoods

French President Nicholas Sarkozy says those who frequent websites that "promote terror or hatred or violence" should be sent to prison. "Don't tell me it's not possible. What is possible for pedophiles should be possible for trainee terrorists and their supporters, too," he said at a campaign rally.

The French just can't move on from that revolution.

This article brings back memories of all the impure thoughts that I once confessed to while overcome by Catholicism.

Are they going to round us up for registering on this site?

[Pound. Head. On. Desk.]

The website won't let me reply "of course!" in French?

"Bien s?r," according to Google translate.

Give 'em time, Drake... I'm sure we're on some kind of Obama shit-list.

I want to what happens if I frequent Sarkozy's website.

I used to troll wannabe Jihadi websites back in 2002. It was fun to tie the forum admin up in knots after, within the space of a couple of posts, he would go from

9/11: The Jews Did It

to

9/11: Osama is a hero for smiting the unbelievers.

He didn't like me pointing out that he was essentially calling Osama a heroic dupe of the Jews.

They were pretty heavy with the banhammer for infidels, though, so I had to act confused that 'we' weren't sending out a consistent message. I believe the correct term for that is 'Concern Trolling'

Now Sarkozy wants to make trolling maniacs a crime?!

Not cool, man... Not. Cool.

Sarkozy's a piker:

Then again, Obama's a piker, too, compared to Kirchner, who seems to be setting herself up as the next Hugo Chavez.

Get busy, Barry! There's freedom to curtail!

I wonder if Sarkozy gets updates from the SPLC...
