Journal daniil's Journal: Site admin trolls Slashdot; hilarity ensues 3
Earlier today, some person posted an article about South Korea planning to introduce robot teachers to teach English in schools. Everything was fine and dandy, but then the site admin replaced the text in the article with a picture of the goatse guy (linked from web.archive.org) -- probably because they didn't like Slashdot linking to the print version of the article. Nice.
Of course people started complaining about it, discussing what could be the reason for this, and so on. I, too, posted a few comments in these threads (and I also emailed daddypants@slashdot.org). Finally, the offending link was removed -- and then (and this is the funniest part) all the comments about the goatse link in the article got slammed to -1*. See this thread, for instance.
Now, the question is, if there's a bloody goatse link in the article, then how come discussing this is off-topic?
* Two of these comments were mine, meaning that I'm banned again. Argh.

I wish I had seen it... a goatse-post on the front page. That's brilliant.
On the other hand, modding people down for mentioning it is just pathetic.
