No Comments! Be The First!
This would surely shut the internets down…

A Kentucky lawmaker wants to pass a law banning Kentuckians from posting anonymous comments on the WWW.
But doesn’t he realize that without anonymous comments, the Internet would just collapse into itself? Basically, anonymous commentary is what keeps the web humming along day after day…
And after reading the article again, I notice that the guy actually doesn’t have any intention of passing such a law. Instead, “he wanted to call attention to the phenomenon of unkind and often untrue comments about people being posted online by Kentuckians hiding behind the cloak of anonymity.”
So basically, not only is this a dumb idea, it’s a dumb idea that even he acknowledges has no chance of becoming a law, and so he’s wasting taxpayers’ time, money, attention and goodwill by proposing this attention-getting stunt legislation.
Maybe he should become a bloggyist.
