THIS ███████ CAN BE CENSORED.

Stop Internet censorship--or we kill this bird-catcher.

I've censored the following, in protest of a bill that gives any corporation and the US government the power to censor the internet--a bill that could pass THIS WEEK. To see the uncensored text, and to stop internet censorship, visit  http://americancensorship.org.

███████ a ███████ and ███████████ ██████ of ██████'s █████, ████ the ████████████ █████, ████ René ████ as the █████ and a █████ lot of ████ ██████ ███████ █████ ██████ █████. █████ ██████████████ for all of ████ █████████ and █████ █████!

I'm censoring the above paragraph in protest of two bills that would censor the web. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the PROTECT IP act would give our government and corporations the power to take down entire websites over infringing posts by users, endangering the Internet as we know it.

And yes, Virginia, that includes Blogger, the home of Superconductor.

Uncensor This

To uncensor this post and ensure that internet censorship never becomes law in America contact your congressperson now. Thanks for doing this. Or all operas will soon be Lorin Maazel's 1984.
