Journal mirko's Journal: .CX definitely an island 3

Journal by mirko on Thursday January 15, 2004 @07:03AM

Some will find this typical rejection material, though, there a serious issue involved : Goatse.cx web site was closed this morning by the nic.cx registrar. Some people, though, set a petition which will eventually reach the .cx censors.
Now, think further than just "aboot dick and fart jokes" : This is about Free Speech.

Of course, they'd risk getting charged with hosting indecent material or suchlike...

  It's already at http://hick.org/goat/; the important bit is that it was up for so long, and is something most people know about - being tricked into visiting goatse is (almost?) a rite of passage...
