Challenge Accepted.

Although not strictly a meme, this particular Facebook photo cover deserves pride of place. 

Available on Free Timeline covers, it encourages Facebook users to portray their displeasure concerning the SOPA bill and its potential 'breaking of the Internet'. The meme uses Mickey Mouse as a motif for the entertainment and music industry. 

It is one of a huge number of timeline covers that have appeared across free distribution sites that protest the legislation in its own small way.

"I am committed to continuing to work with my colleagues in the House and Senate to send a bipartisan bill to the White House that saves American jobs and protects intellectual property. ~ Rep Lamar Smith"

What an incredible load of crap even for an establishment politician. Its is the eveil acts of eveil men like Lamar Smith that lead this country down the road to Tyranny and a total police state if they are not stopped and soon.
I agree 100% with the sympathies expressed but the memes/cartoons are pretty pathetic. Please spare us any more.
Doesn't SOPA translate into German as Seig Heil?
My history teacher told me about the Nazi Party had been disbanded in 1945, but she obviously was wrong. The jackboots are a'stomping on the Constitution!

Indeed! SOPA means "Sieg Heil!" in German. Meanwhile the Pirate Party entered the parliament in Berlin!
But even though the Pirate's influence increases, tha problem remains - SOPA is only a little step on the way to the New World Order - the new nazi dictatorship with censored medias and RFID chips under our skin. President Eisenhower warned already 50 years ago of the 'military-industrial complex' - obviously nobody believed, but this tumor is growing.
Censorship will never happen with a strong Pirate Party. Vote as long as you're able to speak one's mind... SOPA is just a part of the New World Order!
