This icon is an act of terrorism.

This originally started out as a comment, but I'm going to give it it's own entry, because I'm now all bitter and angry.

C-kun sez: Careful. The *stabstabstab* at the top could be interpretted as a terrorist threat.

*much exaggerated and violent rolling of eyes*

I await the day when every fiction writer on the planet (or, at least, those within the reach of US authorities) is jailed for acts of terrorism. I anticipate that Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and especially that reactionary John Adams (Heavens! What about Patrick Henry and his "give me liberty or give me death"?! Clearly, the man is a rebel insurgent) will be exhumed and put on trial for acts of anti-American terrorism.

What the hell is wrong with us, collectively, as a people? Is this what we've come to? To hell with moving to Canada, this type of thing makes me ashamed to be a human being. Badly ashamed.

[EDIT] Now with 110% more quoting!

"My story is based on fiction," said Poole, who faces a second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge. "It's a fake story. I made it up. I've been working on one of my short stories, (and) the short story they found was about zombies. Yes, it did say a high school. It was about a high school over ran by zombies."

Even so, police say the nature of the story makes it a felony. "Anytime you make any threat or possess matter involving a school or function it's a felony in the state of Kentucky," said Winchester Police detective Steven Caudill.


Truth, my friends, is stranger than fiction. I guess this makes all of Buffy's actors and writers terrorists, too.

First Amendment? Get with the times, boy, that Constitution thing is a living document. It says whatever we want it to say.
