The fucktards trying to ban social networking remind me of the clowns who wanted to ban rock 'n roll in the 1950's.

March 1957 - Chicago's Cardinal Stritch bans all rock and roll and rhythm and blues music from Catholic-run schools, saying that "its rhythms encourage young people to behave in a hedonistic manner."

Good analogy, Jez, and their tactics will be just about as effective.
