You have got to be kidding! [reference deleted] is suppressing cOUSIN SHORTY's First Amendment rights now? (do large reptilian space-creatures have First Amendment rights?) I saved a copy anyway. Would you like it?

I was just gonna post it: the heavy hand of censorship hits cOUSIN SHORTY. The HELL do these people think they ARE??? Listening, Cathy? Satire and parody are protected speech. What you've just done is even more deplorable than what you've already done. Interested in making martyrs of us all? Fine.

This Means War... FYI, they pulled my Batguano Wire Internal Memo post, too. #reply-9125775 And mine wasn't even half as funny as cOUSIN SHORTY's, but it did contain the fateful words Batguano Wire. Maybe that in and of itself was fair game for the Batguano Wire attorney? So whatever happened to the First Amendment? Oh, what a proud day to be an American. Long live satire!!! Come on, SI. Pull this post, too. I dare you!!!
