Sherlock Netizens

   I've written it so many times now - Korean journalism is a crap, I made few separated posts about the level of professionalism on Nate articles even. And I guess I wasn't that far from guessing the truth that no pro journalist is writing those "articles" that have the same level as Allkpop or other, well known websites.
The article below is a long read, be fairly warned, so all teen hormonal trolls who ever appear here, get lost cause it has so much letters you won't be able to make any sense out of it.
Of course all articles we should take with a grain of salt. Not all netizens strive to uncover the truth or dig deeper. Those we should praise, but mostly, they are just another herd of sheeps repeating what media say.

"Sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me."



It’s been over a week when Megaupload was crushed. All internetz rushed to express their fury and bewilderment. The whole world united to show that such action and proposed bill of SOPA in US Congress is a threat to the free internet. SOPA was postponed. Then, we all tried to alert everyone about ACTA, but sadly, I didn’t see as many ‘fighters’ as it was with SOPA (protests in some countries were admirable, but still too little). Meaning – Americans got way too ignorant about the threat and sat down complacent about their own asses. They simply labeled ACTA as ‘European thingy’. Which shows they clearly can’t either read or get the map. Since when Japan and Korea are inside the Europe? Oh that’s good, it means I’m closer to grabbing some than I previously thought. What a relief.

Science fiction

Image relevant as hell.

   Many authors had inclination to 'what if'-ing about the future. Usually the future in cyberpunk genre or dozens of sci-fi movies looks dark, apalling and cold. I have always liked movies about totalitarian systems, maybe my own historical background, I have no idea. Tyrants and opression were my favorites topics, except for treason.
Today, ACTA was signed in Tokyo. Virtually all countries of EU will be bound by one law that stretches throughout the entire world (yes, your beloved Japan and Korea too). This is not an angry post, surprisingly my depression took over anger at this very moment. 
But worry not, I will b*tch about that later.
