Kapow! The Net Gets a Bat Signal for Fighting Government and Hollywood Bad Guys:

"If you see a bat signal, or rather a laughing cat signal, hovering in the sky over
Gotham City, San Francisco or New York this Thursday night, it won’t just be a
sign that the new Batman flick has opened. It will be a sign that the Internet
Defense League has come to save the world – or at least the online part of it.

That’s when the IDL, a grassroots group, plans to pick up where the successful
crowdsourced campaigns against SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect
Intellectual Property Act) left off."

He's actually turned it around with this invitation. There's probably more exposure because of this prank and probably lost a lot of internet haters.

True. At least she took matters into her own hands even if it was a misguided action.

Looks like this island is still living in the 1910s. But the entire Balkan is, so....

Already obvious in the article, and in the reality on the field. The only realistic next patron for the island would be Turkey. But no, Turkey won't bother for many reasons, including that they won't care less.

Icarians should've gone for Russia instead, if only for the ensuing amusement we can get from such pursue

Shut up. No!

And by the way, HK and Taiwanese fujoshis often use it at their conventions on a regular basis, so it if you hear it, run.

US man with huge penis stopped at airport

LOS ANGELES, July 19, 2012 (AFP) - A man known for his enormous penis was stopped by security at San Francisco International airport and questioned about the bulge in his pants, he was reported as saying Thursday.

Jonah Falcon, 41, has an organ which is 9.5 inches long when flaccid and 13 inches (33 centimeters) erect, according to Rolling Stone magazine. He has featured in a number of documentaries about the world's biggest penises.

He was returning to New York from San Francisco on July 9 when he was stopped, after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents saw a bulge hanging down over his left upper thigh.

"They wanted to know if I had something in my pockets, and when I said no, they asked if I had some sort of growth," he said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

He told them it was his penis, and they checked around his crotch, although not too closely. He was delayed for five minutes. The incident was not his first.

"I've gone through the (scanner) before, and I wasn't worried. What was the worst that was going to happen? I was going to have to whip it out for them? I'm used to that. Sometimes when people ask me about it, if I'm feeling up to it, I'll just show them."

In a tweet at the time Falcon said: "TSA didn't know what to make of the massive bulge on my thigh. Even after I went through that body scanner that shows you naked..."

A 2003 Rolling Stone story entitled "Mr. Big" reported that Falcon's penis was eight inches long when he was only 10 years old. It quoted his mother as saying his organ size was genetic.

"He was born like that, and he was always big for his age. But it's not his big penis, it's society's need to fixate on it. We're in a world where men see their manhood in their penises."

The TSA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Nor did Falcon.

Why didn't the women get stopped at the TSA for having oppai? They could be carrying torpedo warheads!

Now I imagine the fujoshi having a heyday with a new bara doujin named "Waverider Security Purposes".....*shudders*

Hard to conceal something like that up there.

Maybe because the woman are more likely to call ''sexual harasment'' .
