A moment of silence, please

It is a black day. www.goatse.cx has been suspended for posting obscene material, which is illegal in the Christmas Islands (which is what the .cx suffix belongs to). There's a petition here to have the site reinstated; for the good of the internet, I beg all the, uh, two or three people that read this to sign the petition, and post on their journals the same message.

I leave you with a bit of filk, ganked from the kuro5hin.org discussion of the suspension.


A long long time ago
I can still remember how that image used to burn my eyes
And I knew if I had my chance
I could hide a link in a rant
and maybe they'd be pissed off for a while.
But January made me shiver
with every link-troll I deliver
Bad links on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step.
I can't remember if I cried
when I heard about his orphaned site
But something touched me deep inside
the day the goatse died.

So bye bye to the goatse site
Put his fingers up his asshole and his asshole was wide.
Yeah these old trolls were on Slashdot and K5
Singing this will be the day the Net dies
This will be the day the Net dies.
