Making the best of a bad situation - SOPA mocking memes
Summary: Censorship acts like SOPA have rocked the foundations of the Internet community, and now thanks to Wednesday's blackout collaboration more people are aware of the dangers of this legislation. However, people also like to make light of a bad situation, and this selection of memes is the proof.

The point of many Internet sensation memes is to make a mockery of a topic or idea.
This SOPA-inspired image pinpoints the potential hypocrisy of a government that in one breath denounces censorship, and then chooses to introduce it under a different guise.

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.
SOPA? Just support your local Pirate Party!
SOPA = Garbage in Swedish
