Nailing on Blinders

Pakistan has taken another stop to prove itself as anything but hospitable to people capable of independent thought. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority announced on Friday that YouTube would be blocked until further notice. Apparently, it contains some material that the authorities find "offensive", material that might actually suggest they don't quite know everything. Since it is essential to such a backward regime to keep its people in the dark about the rest of the world, and order them to think in prescribed ways only, this step was taken.
The Authority should busy themselves with providing an alternative; a site showing a plethora of videos starring multitudes of happy little Muslims. They could all be singing unsolicited paeans of praise for the blinders their leaders want to nail to the sides of their heads, so that they will be saved from any annoying need to think for themselves. I'm sure that would draw viewers in droves.

Yes, I head about this. Pakistan is still theoretically a democracy, and should act that way. In places like China however, such censorship is the norm -- and what's troubling, is that companies like Google and Yahoo, actually help the government there, in the name of doing business and making money.
