May The Dolphin Be Unflogged: Paskistani Government Censors Texting (Techdirt)
The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority has taken a bold new step in the
censorship arena, compiling a list of words and phrases deemed “inappropriate”
for texting. This list has been forwarded to the nation’s mobile operators,
making a brief appearance as a publicly-available Google doc. Although the
public permission has been rescinded, a version of the list appears here (very
probably NSFW, especially if someone is reading over your shoulder or if you
tend to read everything aloud).
According to a mobile operator representative:
> _ “There are more than 1,600 words in the list including indecent language,
expletives, swear words, slang etc, which have to be filtered. The filtering
is not good for the system and may degrade the quality of network services-
plus it would be a great inconvenience to our subscribers if their SMS was not
delivered due to the wrong choice of words”_
To give you the gist of the forbidden texts, imagine George Carlin’s “Seven
Words You Can Never Say on TV,” attach nearly any other imaginable word to
those seven, add a couple hundred euphemisms for masturbation, some drug slang
and a slew of misspellings and you’ll be in the general …

Hobo $9.39 With an arresting mix of homespun wisdom, gritty realism, and poignant self-examination, and set against the backdrop of a young man’s coming of age, Hobo is a modern examination of one of America’s oldest and most revered folk heroes. A free spirit, Zebu Recchia’s mother set out on her own when her son was only two years old. Left behind, the tight family unit of father and son grew up to be more like brothers than parent and child. Such an intense relationship created struggles and pain but also a form of independence that gave both men the mettle to face life alone when necessary. When Zebu was nineteen, he left behind his "hippie on a Harley" father in a brickyard on a cold winter day in Denver, Colorado, and set out with three things he knew he could rely on: strong boots, a warm coat, and a will to roam. He took off down the road at sunset with his thumb out and a keen desire to see the world on his own terms. His goal was to end up in Mexico. It had always been his father’s mecca of personal freedom and absolute beauty, and so it became his, too. When Zebu jumped his first train, he was forever changed. His passion for the rails and the hobo way of life transformed him into Eddy Joe Cotton, a young hobo-in-training. Crisscrossing the countryside with a motley band of companions and mentors, Eddy Joe learns both the dark and the beautiful sides of life on the road. Always headed vaguely toward Mexico, Eddy Joe slowly realizes that the experience of the journey is far more important than the thrill of reaching the destination. Hobo is a celebration of the cultural and historical significance of the hobo in American society. It’s also the story of what Eddy Joe learned on the rails, and of the fascinating, worldly-wise men who became his teachers. Eddy Joe Cotton paints a multilayered portrait of this strangely enduring lifestyle of the men who ride the trains, the tricks of the trade, the vocabulary they use, the places they camp, the train yards they avoid, the gear they are sure to carry, and the stories and lessons each one imparts. Told in Eddy Joe’s infectious and original voice, Hobo is a heartfelt exploration of a fascinating subculture, and of one man’s place in a world that has all but been forgotten. From the Hardcover edition. |
