Fark.com's Drew Curtis on Kentucky's anonymous-comments ban

Not many people realize that Drew Curtis of Fark.com lives in low-cost-of-living Kentucky. Fark is headquartered there, and the servers are physically located in Lexington. As such, his might be the website most affected by the "proposal" to ban anonymous Internet comments. Curtis is ticked. Reached for comment at his home on Huevos Rancheros Blvd. in Lexington, Curtis weighed in on state representative Tim Couch, the guy behind the bill. "He is a retard," says Curtis. "He is also a douchebag. And he sucked in the NFL." Nothing anonymous there.

Kentucky legislator wants to ban anonymous Internet posting

State representative Tim Couch wants to make posting anything on the Internet anonymously illegal. The bill would require anyone "contributing" to a website to register their real name, address and email address with that site. Websites would be fined $500 for each anonymous post. Couch wants to cut down on "online bullying." The ACLU will love that. Hey Timmy, in addition to trampling the First Amendment, we should just repeal all the others — except the Second, of course.
