The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum

The internet has gone and went all strange.

It is alleged that, yesterday from about 9:30 local time, the self appointed lunatics who  look after our safety decided to block all Google sites, including Gmail for about an hour.

At that time, I was busy on Google and receiving Gmail no problem.

But then the self appointed cretins who decide matters like these have never been very efficient. Efficiency is not a requirement for the job - stupidity is.

A Chinese friend in Guangdong is furious. 90% of her business comes through Gmail, which she can't reach, even today.

Following the ridicule poured on them after the unresolved "Green Dam" debacle, you would the think the slugs would crawl back into whichever hole they crawled out of and keep their mouths tightly shut, but that would require intelligence. About a micron above that of a particularly stupid goldfish.

Tonight from 6:30 till around  7:30 pm the internet was completely unavailable. They blocked everything. Now I can only be here by devious means.

Don't these morons realise the damage this does to China's economy, education or credibility?

Probably, but they don't care. They only live for the next publicly funded banquet, which they won't remember tomorrow.

Goldfish.

(Except, I respect goldfish more.)
