Censors didn't like the Zion scenes much.


 

Well, more religious fucknettery, actually; it's the entire fact it's named 'Zion' that's the problem.


 

I was hoping that this would be new and exciting (it was on Today's World Press Review), but it turns out that within a quarter of an hour of that it was on slashdot.


 

Sigh. It's so hard being memeful these days.


jerakeen:

Slashdot doesn't count. The cool people who read the spool (hi there guys!) despise slashdot. Don't y'all?


blech:

Perhaps not, but it's all over Google News too, and I'd be surprised if it doesn't get Blogdexed to death.


jerakeen:

Can we make a good case for despising google?


blech:

I'm sure hitherto and muttley can, if only they didn't despise Orlowski more.


 

Anyway, I'm sure our coverage will be unique if only for the typoed phrase 'religious fucknettery'.

hitherto:

I despise Orlowski for exactly the same reason I despise most blogs. It doesn't matter what the medium is, if you're full of shit, welcome to the world of being despised.
