cryinoutloud: So Fark's going to be off the air tomorrow? Because that's what would happen IRL if this passed.

Copypasta destruction:
Ohh wooaah [x3]

You know you love me, I know you care
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there
You are my love, you are my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart

Are we an item? Girl, quit playing
We're just friends, what are you saying?
Say there's another and look right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time
And I was like...

Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Oh, for you I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together
And I wanna play it cool, but I'm losin' you
I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces, baby fix me
And just shake me 'til you wake me from this bad dream
I'm going down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around

And I'm like
Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

[Ludacris:]
Luda! When I was 13, I had my first love,
There was nobody that compared to my baby
and nobody came between us or could ever come above
She had me going crazy, oh, I was star-struck,
she woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks.
She made my heart pound, it skipped a beat when I see her in the street and
at school on the playground but I really wanna see her on the weekend.
She knows she got me dazing cause she was so amazing
and now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying...

Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine (mine)

I'm gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Now I'm all gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Now I'm all gone (Yeah Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah Yeah)
Now I'm all gone (gone, gone, gone...)
I'm gone

That was copyrighted material, which would cause Fark to be taken down. Fun!

So yeah, sopa is the spanish word for soap. And Ivory soap is white. Therefore...

...sopapilla means "soap pillager"?

Going White

White hair never goes out of fashion but it happens to be the hardest color to achieve. First you'll need to start with light hair - very pale blond. Do this using bleach and then fix any uneven color, as this is going to be really noticeable once your hair is white.

Jubeebee		2012-01-18 12:07:14 AM

Somehow I suspect that at 8am EST Fark will be a single blank white page.

Texas Gabe		2012-01-18 12:07:24 AM

I am also in favor of sopa

yummy, yummy sopa

meyerkev		2012-01-18 12:07:33 AM

I'm wondering if this is like Cracked.com's argument for it.

/aka Don't think of it as a threat. Think of it as a WEAPON.

Joke or not, there's no way that position might backfire...

rebelyell2006: What does "going WHITE" mean?

Possible addition of a Farkipedia tab?

We could all write articles on various subject that we may or may not have the least bit of expertise on.

I might like to take at stab the "Threes Company" television series (the Roper Years) and how Helen was getting a lot more from Stanley than she was letting on.

Bippal		2012-01-18 12:08:00 AM

If they are serious ,fark drew. Sopa is the patriot act of the Internet. It'll catch one tenth of one percent of what it's intended to and just be used to further control the population.

howdoibegin		2012-01-18 12:08:17 AM

Wikipedia is going down, Fark is going white. Fark needs to do anything to be white?

ox45tallboy		2012-01-18 12:08:22 AM

anwserman: Wikipedia just blacked out

I'm still accessing it fine, don't see anything black

/checks MLK page -
//checks stevie wonder page -

oh. Black - OUT.

Is some kind of day-late MLK thing?

adamgreeney: Fark doesnt mind SOPA because it would in no way effect how the site runs or functions. Why would they care?

Because Fark links to copyrighted material that has been illegally uploaded to sites like Youtube all the damn time?

jimmyjackfunk		2012-01-18 12:09:21 AM

i guess wikipedia and some sites are going dark based on timezone cause i can still access it although google has a black bar across their logo

"Once you go white, you end up cutting that biatches throat along with some other honkey waiter. Spend months in jail, go through a hellacious court ordeal and go free. Spend a few years golfing while claiming you're looking for the 'real killer', smack up some more white biatches.

Then get thrown back in the slammer for trying to jack some guys who stole your Sports Memorablia."

WTF Indeed: Don't Farkers normally blackout at around 10pm anyway? Not really making a statement then.

I'm still at work at 10pm. I usually black out around 4.

Moderator: If you'd like to join Fark's support of SOPA, our crayon monkey has whipped up a quick Facebook / Twiiter profile pic: [www.joethepeacock.com image 180x180]

When did Fark get a crayon monkey? Or did you just tell him it was a small stick of dynamite?

9 months after the New York Blackout of 1965, there was a dramatic increase in babies.(*)

Remember FARKers don't flush your kleenex down the loo tomorrow, you could crash the pipes.

(*) snopes says that's not true.

Well. This has potential for both good and ill.

Felgraf		2012-01-18 12:16:08 AM

"Free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master."-Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
