Publishing Company Puts Warning Label on Constitution 676
Wilder Publication is under fire for putting warning labels on copies of historical US documents, including the Constitution. The label warns "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would if it were written today." From the article: "The disclaimer goes on to tell parents that they 'might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work.'"
Man Put On "No-Fly List" While In Air To NYC 300
An unnamed man flying from Nigeria to New York City found out he was added to a no-fly list somewhere above the Atlantic Ocean, when the plane stopped to refuel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Officials won't say what he did or why he was added to the list after he had already boarded a flight. He was not immediately charged with a crime and Customs and Border Protection will only say that he is a "potential person of interest." From the article: "The man, a citizen of Gambia, was not on the no-fly list when he boarded the aircraft in Dakar, Senegal, said a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly."

Update:
The e-mail from my company states that the mourning will begin at 2:28 today. Indeed, I've gone to the sites I mentioned in my earlier post and in fact they have blocked the ability to search. You can only watch stuff on the front page. That, is fucking scary. From the e-mail I received from my company: all organizations and foreign embassies in China will lower the
flags; all entertaining activities will stop; sirens of automobiles, trains and ships will be on. As another poster mentioned, Youtube was already "harmonized".
When this idiocy stops, go to www.youku.com. Even if you can't read Chinese, you can easily see the search bar at the top. Just type "Lost" and work out which episode you need. It's usually up by Saturday morning our time.
