You already know how much I love Chinese food.
But that doesn't excuse the disturbing news that China is actually JAILING DISSIDENTS! How can a country that gives us those delicious dumplings totally fuck us over with anti-American values like that?! Who knows...
And then the worst news of all, Yahoo is HELPNG THEM! Check this site out. Then check out this Salon article. There's also an article by Nicholas Kristof in the Times that you have to pay for if you want to read, so screw that.
Basically, China heard about a guy who was sending an email out about how they were censoring any mention of the anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre, and they wanted to know who he was, so they could stick his ass in jail. So they called up Yahoo, who was the guy's email provider, and asked them. And guess what? They gave him up. Now this guy
Shi Tao
is in jail. Making watches I hear.
And it's not the first time they've done this.
So Yahoo sucks, clearly, and I can't in good consciousness continue to use them. This is especially bad news because it is a HUGE hassle to change your email address, and I am EXTREMELY lazy. Fuck!
I don't even know where too start. If any of you have a suggestion for a new email provider let me know. I would like them to be FREE for one, and also if they're not COMPLETE ASSHOLES that would be nice too.
Ugh.
go bears...
