Twitter CEO chides China

Nice. Heh, not that it'll make any difference in the stupidity of the oppresive Chi-com government though

 

""Dear Chinese Government," began a message sent late Thursday from Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.

"Year-long detentions for sending a sarcastic tweet are neither the way forward nor the future of your great people," he wrote on his Twitter profile.

Costolo's edict is no doubt a response to the Chinese woman who had been sentenced to a year in a labor camp for retweeting a message that officials in China disapproved of. The tweet mocked Chinese people who were aligning with the Chinese government by protesting Japanese products."

Trial for U.S. hikers detained in Iran set for February

Something tells me these people weren't "hikers" but were working for the government as spooks/spec-ops or as contractors.... what U.S. Citizen in their right mind wakes up and goes "Gee, lets go hiking in Iran today"

A trial for two American hikers held in Iran has been postponed until February 6, their attorney, Masoud Shafii, said Sunday.

The reason for the delay was the absence of Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer at the initial trial date of November 6, Shafii said he was told. The court told him the two were summoned to court but did not show up, he said.

Shafii said that makes no sense, because the two are in government custody, and it's the government's responsibility to bring them to court.

"I am upset, but my hands are tied," he said. "I can't do anything. I've read their case file, and I found no reason for them to be charged with a crime, so even one more day in prison is not justified."" See the rest HERE

'Save Caprica' Campaign Hits A Roadblock

Don't these fools realize if they would have accepted delivery, they could have donated in their own name for free publicity and issued some vague statement on why Caprica won't be coming back... no, instead they refused delivery and we donated them in their name.

 

"NBC Universal refuses delivery on a shipment of apples sent to the network by fans.

Earlier this month, a "Save Caprica" movement was born out of Syfy's decision to cancel the series and pull its remaining episodes until next year. Founded by a fan named Rosemary Medrano, the idea was put forth to send a large shipment of apples to NBC Universal's corporate office in New York as a form of protest against the decision.

All told, fans were able to place an order of more than 2,800 apples through BigAppleGrocer.net. The fans choose to send apples because an apple was used in the initial advertising for 'Caprica' as an allegory to humanity's decent into sin, which was a critical theme of "Caprica." See the rest HERE
