SOPA:
More important than shilling my own work this week is making your voice heard against SOPA, which is a bill that would introduce governmental censorship to the Internet. It is a direct violation of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights, because you know, Congress thinks it's so above the law it's not even funny. Do your part.
- Google has a petition you can sign electronically.
- Wikipedia has gone dark today, but they're providing contact information for all your local Congressmen so you can voice your displeasure.
Self-Shilling:
- Burnsy was on the latest edition of The Wrestling Podcast. We talk about wrestling nostalgia, what has made him come back and leave wrestling over the years, his story about writing ideas into WCW, Albert Pujols, terrible movies and bonding over Coming to America [Episode 36: A Crow Sting Left of the Murder]
- I went to the final ECW Arena wrestling show ever, and thought it was good until the mutants took over and started crapping all over Johnny Gargano and Ricochet [Can We Pretend the Last 30 Minutes Didn't Happen?: EVOLVE 10 Review] BONUS: Apparently, one Lenny Leonard didn't appreciate my criticism and blamed everything on the Philly crowd shitting on everything. I don't stand for it when Eric Bischoff or Hulk Hogan blame their shitty product on the fans not liking it, so I'm damn sure not going to take it from someone in the indies taking that terrible attitude. Tweet him and let him know that maybe poor reactions should be blamed on the people in charge, not on critics. [@DragonGateLenny]
