I can't believe that our local Film and Publications Board www.fpb.gov.za now has draft legislation which, if passed, will allow them to censor the Internet in South Africa!  Hatred

Have we in SA forgotten about the hundreds of films, books, etc which were banned under apartheid? Books like Black Beauty, incidentally.  Buggedout

If you feel so moved, please sign the petition to stop this nonsense in its' tracks.

I know I can make it on my own if I try, but I'm searching for the Great Heart
To stand me by, underneath the African sky
A Great Heart to stand me by.

Sadly but even thought the 'intent' of the censorship would be based on decency (ok I'm assuming this) what will be censored is opinions that the South African Government don't want to deal with. It's rough.

lol... the link directed me to a 'climate change topic' (I'm not sure why since I see your link is directed to web censorship)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
