The agency in charging of censoring Russia's Internet has reminded residents that it is illegal to post any celebrity meme that does not reflect that person's "personality."

In Soviet Russia, celebrity parody you.

The agency in charging of censoring Russia's Internet

In keeping with the meme of Oliver half-assing Brickbats.

[John Galt]

Now that the U.S. government has it's foot in the door Internet taxes and censorship are sure to follow.

Had a nice little discussion with a lefty friend of mine over that last night. He admits that the FCC created the situation we have now, but we must give the FCC more power to fix it. I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly... She died, of course. We can only hope for such an ending to the FCC.

[UnCivilServant]

Did you point out that killing the FCC would cost less than giving them more authority? If so, how did he react?

[straffinrun]

It was talking to a brick wall. The idea of killing a govt agency is unfathomable.

[Suthenboy]

Introducing government into an industry that flourished precisely because no government was involved.

Brilliant.

[Libertarian]

So.....Russia is finally catching up to England in libel law?

[Derpetologist]

Russia has always had censorship, secret police, prison camps in Siberia, and a czar of some sort. All that stuff got kicked into high gear by the Soviets, but they merely built off what was already there. Similarly, China has always had an emperor, a bureaucracy, and ruthless conformity.

So we can add cultural change to the long list of the many things communism can't do. So much for the New Soviet Man.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

I'm surprised they haven't angled for a New Obama Man.

[Coyote Blue]

You've met him.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Right.

[Charles Easterly]

That picture has always made me a little sad.

[Dark Lord of the Cis]

I always laugh. Then get sad.

[Rufus J. Firefly]

Get your memes spoofing Obama in NOW. Dude is getting idears.

[Charles Easterly]

Has anyone looked at the picture of Putin and the dog in the article for which Mr. Oliver provided a link?
One of my neighbors is considered a dog whisperer by some in the neighborhood, and she interpreted the dog's expressions as follows: "Does anyone see this, what is happening here? This man smells of evil and his hand is creeping around my throat! Comrades get me out of this grip before it is too late. When I grow large I will guard your house and pull you sleds. Help!"

[Libertarian]

That's funny. My first reaction to the pic was imagining the dog whispering to the photographers,"help me. I'm being held against my will. Get me out of here. Pleeeeeeeeeease!"

[Mongo]

The dog was given a choice: hug Putin, or get a bomb strapped on and run under a Ukrainian tank.

[Rich]

it is illegal to post any celebrity meme that does not reflect that person's "personality."

You've got to be Putin us on!

[Libertarian]

And so it Begins.

[Rich]

Oy! Meir!

[Banjos]

Don't be Russian to judgement.
