ANC Wikipedia Page Censored


All my godlike Photoshop powers aside, I swear that I have not edited this. This is exactly what appeared on the Wikipedia page for the ANC at 13:00 today.

For those not in the know, this occurred in response to yesterday’s Black Tuesday, when South Africa’s ruling ANC government, against monstrous political and public protest, forced through the Protection of Information Bill. Said bill has made it illegal for any private citizen, reporter or media house to be in possession of any documents classified as State Secret. Printing or being in possession of such documents can result in up to 25 years jail time, which is more than some murderers receive in this country.

The RICA Crackdown


The word is out, so to speak. The public deadline for one of government’s more expansive and expensive efforts to accomplish absolutely nothing is fast approaching. For those of you who have yet to RICA your phone – possibly the most misguided attempt by our befuddled government to prevent crime since the mass parole and early release fandango of several years ago – you have until the 30th of this month to register or Big Brother’s going to cut you off, and they’re super-serial this time, guys.
