MasterACE14 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Please note: In less than 21 hours, the English Wikipedia will be blacked out globally to protest SOPA and PIPA. Just noticed that on the site, if that doesn't send a message I don't know what will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It really doesn't surprise me in the least. Not even a little bit. Sadly, same here. The really really sad part to me, is this guy is from my district (or former district, before I moved.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
