Just to piss the Indian censors off, along with some Muslim f*ckwas. And, well, she's hot! Oh, did I mention that some f*ckwas issued a fatwa against her in 2005? India's leading female tennis player has been subjected to a fatwa by a Muslim cleric for wearing short skirts and revealing tops on the […]

Danny Carlton, aka Jack Lewis.net, is da man! The other day, when I saw his "Stand With Israel" angled banner thingy, I asked how to do one for the Band of the Banned. Well, he went and did it. To join, all you have to do is photoshop a Koran in the crapper, then email […]

Nice to that the Asian bureau of Time Magazine is just as incompetent as their American bureau: A few days after the terror attacks in Bombay, Indians found many of their favorite blogs banned. On July 13, the Department of Telecommunications had ordered Indian Internet service providers to close a reported 17 blogs that purportedly […]

"Nobody expects the Spanish Indian Inquisition! Our chief weapon is censorship…censorship and repression…censorship and repression…. Our two weapons are censorship and repression…and ruthless incompetence…. Our *three* weapons are censorship, repression, and ruthless incompetence…and an almost fanatical devotion to the Muslims…. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as censorship, repression…. I'll come […]

So, I was playing around with some proxy IP's yesterday, seeing if I was blocked in India, along with the other Band of the Banned. Yup. Banned, blocked, no access. However, get this: I ran across some Iranian IP's, and was able to get two to work. None of us was banned. You would think […]

Looks like Indian gov't only meant to lift the ban on the parent companies, not off of the specific blogs (h/t Editors in Pajamas): The Department of Telecom (DoT) has instructed all the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the country to block only the specified website/webpages on the parent website. The DoT, in its letter […]

And guess what? Fixed without the help of the ACLU. One would have thought the ACL-f'ing-U would have stood up for the freedom of speech of the Band of the Banned, but, alas, we were neither liberal wackjobs nor terrorists. Just some people who know how to photoshop. (From the International Herald Tribune) After two […]

As Rusty points out, the real reason for India banning our blogs, along with the others including *Exposing the Leftz (aka, OpiniPundit)*Merri Musings (Indian government banned her old website, now abandond–also, the lovely bride of The Jawa Report's Editor-in-Chief, Vinnie)*Macker (also mispelled by Indian government)*Princess Kimberly (now defunct)*Editors in Pajamas (Hey, India, it's Editors…plural)*Commonfolk Using Commonsense (their […]

I thrills me to death that my little blog on line journal has been noticed by the wonderfully tolerant government of India. And been banned! Woo-hoo! I was wondering where some traffic from the Wall Street Journal was coming from. One article you have to pay for (if anyone has access and can let me […]
