Get a clue Morocco

Stupid Criminal stories

Do you ever get the feeling that the people around you are missing out on a major shift in the way the world works? Try explaining lolcats to your grandfather for instance. I feel sorry for the powers that be in Morocco who have sentenced Fouad Mourtada, a guy with a clue, to three years in jail for spoofing a Facebook site for a member of their so-called royalty. I feel sorry for the backward thinking elements of the world as we enter an accelerated phase of how humans communicate and works. Let Fouad go. Hire him to instill cluefulness in your government. What's next? Arresting somebody for Leroy Jenkins syndrome? I am compiling a top ten list of government stupidity when it comes to the Internet. This qualifies.
