Read more about SOPA on Wikipedia, and find out why it’s not a good thing. Also, here’s NFS.net’s official stance on SOPA.

1. Make me watch a 30 second commercial in order to connect to the Internet; I can deal with this.
2. They stick an advertising frame on every single fucking page. Of course, they can’t even get this right; half the pages have it, half of them don’t. Seems like if you go to a site from a bookmark, you can avoid this.

How about you just suck it up and give out free, ad-free internet access? Even the Seattle-Tacoma Airport does this, and they’re beyond broke. This isn’t even fast internet, either.

Wikipedia had it right…

Kids today are more likely to respond to a blog post on Twitter than in the article’s comments section; so we’ve collocated our comments on Twitter. Share a tweet-length response here, and, with your permission, it will go there.

Here’s the thing, though: I don’t have a Twitter. I don’t want a Twitter. I will never, ever, fucking want a Twitter. Please understand this, and realize that there’s still 0.1% of the world, myself included, that don’t use Twitter, and would prefer not to be forced to signing up for one just to comment on a blog.

I don’t see why Happy Cog didn’t just offer regular comments instead of a tweet — you can even keep the length requirement, but just post it directly to the site. Their only other alternative is writing on your own site, which I’ve been forced to do.

So here’s my original comment:

I can’t find a link back to the blog from the Happy Cog website… I’ve tried and tried but even the sitemap has nothing. An oversight, perhaps?

I lost the exact wording since I hit “don’t,” which I thought meant it would just post to the site as opposed to tweeting it. As it happens, the original comment was exactly 140 characters…

God damn, I hate using the word “tweeting.”

In other news, and kind of related:

Available in variations of color and invader type, and mobile versions available too.

Check ‘em out. I’m rocking the purple one right now.

I’ll give you a hint, it’s always the same answer.
