Anonymous asked: What are all these people trying to stop PIPA from doing? Coming to America to meet you? Seems wrong... How good was Coming to America anyway? So good. anyway, you and PIPA Middleton (is that next to Downton?) and 80's Eddie Murphey and Reggis should host a sexy sexy morning show on A&E.
I agree with all of this. Especially the part about the “sexy sexy morning show.” There’s not nearly enough sexy sexy programming on in the mornings, unless you count those weird “Brazil Butt Lift” infomercials. I think Pippa and I can top that. WITH EASE.
RELATED: If I may put my lawyer-guy hat on for a moment, I can’t stress strongly enough to all of you how terrible the whole SOPA/PIPA thing is. I know lots of people and sites are drilling this into everyone’s head today, but I don’t want the message to get overwhelmed by the noise. Not only will this bill throw a giant wrench into the Internet, it also has SERIOUS Constitutional ramifications. It gives mass copyright holders (Disney, record companies, Viacom, etc.) the ability to restrict people’s speech and take away their property (websites) without due process. That, to be very clear, is unacceptable.
Freedom of speech and the protection from the government taking your stuff are two of the most important elements of a free society. Opening the door to allowing corporations to shut people down without the proper safeguards — a trial, or at least a showing of good cause in front of an impartial judge — puts all that at risk. I hate to be Admiral Slippery Slope here, but this stuff works like a leak in a dam. You start making tiny exceptions, then those lead to bigger exceptions, then those start spreading and spreading, and next thing you know water is spraying everywhere. I’m not saying we’re going to turn into a restrictive society like China or Iran overnight (or at all), but I AM saying that as a society that values individual freedoms, we can’t turn over this much power to people with profits in mind instead of our well-being. Nope. Can’t have it. Not in America.
Take us home, Ray.
