Russia wants to ban internet memes that mock Vladimir Putin

a reply to: Nibbles

Sorry, I thought I was in another thread....

Um, yes, I said as much. Hand it out equally. I made slight distinctions as to Russias special brand of BS.

Stir the pot? This practically begs as much. Mandate stopping internet memes about him? Is he mad? He just gave millions of people who dont even have to dislike him reason to play and play....laugh and laugh...

Its north Korea type absurdity.Venezuela type absurdity.

Can you blame me? Its like Bush all over again, just Russian and with more power over his respective country.

EDIT TO ADD:
The list though, no the US and especially not the west in general cant really fit into that list I made. Another list SURE, that one, no. Thats Russias list. All Russia's.

If I may politely ask?

Doesn't the US (and also other countries) also do this too?

Or are we here on ATS all just having a pick at the old "bear" again to stir things up?

The US does not ban memes, what a silly question.

lol seems more like russia's updating it's libel and slander laws in the internet age.

this of course interferes with western agit-prop efforts

but, shhhh...

lot's of impotent 'muricans celebrating their 2 minutes hate under big brothers watchful eyes.
none of them would post the stuff they post, against president barry O.

lest DHS,FBI, or the SS come calling...

I'll totally mark these tomorrow out of 10. It will be using some odd system that only I really know about with bonus points for awesome.

If someone has posted more than one I'll just use the one I like best.

Regarding this singling out Russia ... I'm not sure about that. Some ATS members are actually pro-Russia, and I think even the majority of those ones would be against this. And Obama? Have you seen what people post about Obama on ATS? I think at one stage he was accused of being Bin Laden and that's probably not even the worst one.

Many countries have laws on this type of thing. For me that's not an issue, but creating laws to protect already powerful people from criticism? That's another matter.

Has anyone ever been busted for making an Obama meme?

Prizes ... ummm I can make odd pictures of Bruce Willis. I know some origami. I'm also in possession of a dancing alien named Fred. If I get a U2U I will message back some kind of psychotic multiple choice based on my talents and then you can do what you like with the result.

If there is some incredibly specific request that is within Pinke powers I'll consider it though my powers are somewhat limited. Congratulations on keeping Putin in power ATS.
