Facebook Banned in Pakistan?! [aaand Giveawaays!]

Its pretty funny actually. The whole banning facebook in Paki thing. And they have actually done it. Now whenever you do go to the fb homepage, it just gives a big 'This Site Is restricted' sign.  Heres what its all about:

"A Pakistani court has issued a ban on the social networking site Facebook after a user-generated contest page encouraged members to post caricatures of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH).

The Lahore High Court on Wednesday instructed the Pakistani Telecommunications Authority (PTA) to ban the site after the Islamic Lawyers Movement complained that a page called “Draw Mohammed Day” is blasphemous. "

"Pakistan has 45 million Facebook users, according to lawyers.

The Facebook page for "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" had just over 40,000 supporters while the opposing "Against Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" had more than 53,000.  "

All I can say is Wow. The haters really out did themselves this time.
A lot of my friends were posting links to such events [Yes eventS, it was more than one], so we could report them, and I naturally checked a few out- before getting completely disgusted.
Guess what one said, under 'more info'?
'WE DONOT MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE'

Um.

You're disrespecting my religion.
You're inviting other people to participate in your bullshit.
I definitely wont get offended. Of course I wont silly boy!

For God's sake guys. Seriously?

Our world is usually not a happy place.
Theres hunger, poverty, pain and a lot of other miscellaneous suffering. Now what can we do to improve it? I know! Lets make disrespectful and entirely hurtful events on popular networking sites! I mean hey, freedom of speech right?
Wrong.

This way, you're just generating a lot of hate towards yourself, and towards people of your country. Most people aren't going pay much attention to the person who created the event, but his/her religion and nationality will definitely register.
American? Christian? Jew?
Well, lets add a whole bunch of ticks to the 'Why We Hate The Christians/Jews' column.
[Dont be alarmed, I DEFF have nothing against other religions. I'm not that stupid. There is no compulsion in religion.]
For God's sake- 40,000 supporters?!
And then they ask why the extremists hate them so much.
I mean, come on.

Sometimes, people can be extrememly stupid.

In my opinion, the Paki people maybe reacted a bit too much. Banning facebook wont really work will it? The haters will just get a chance for more critism, saying things like how 'backward' we are and how facebook is 'better off without the Paki pigs' [yeah someone actually said that]. I mean, yeah, we might manage to make them stop the bullshit on facebook, but it wont help change their opinions and look at us positively will it?
No it wont.
What they SHOULD have done, in my opinion was just not take part in those events and ask facebook to remove them [by reporting]. Creating a huge scene like this will probably fuel more conversations of how in our culture/country/religion, we're 'suppressed' and dont have 'freedom of speech'.
I mean instead of starting such (internet) wars, cant you just work with the 'mutual respect and peace for all' notion?
Thats like saying, I can go up and start swearing at you all I want, fuck you bitch! Because hey, I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT, its freedom of speech!
It may be, but it doesn't make it right, does it?

Anyway. If you would like to help out guys, just try not to join such events [obviously] and report as many as you can. Plus all us Pakis were going to 'boycott' facebook on the 20th. So if you could just not check your walls tomorrow, we'd be pretty grateful!

Okay. That said, lets move on to some positive and SEXY stuff.

Things That Piss Me Off

Warning: May contain 'crude' language, jabs at parental incompetence and general hate for the world.

Please:Dont be alarmed. This list is part of a bigger one.

1. This blog layout.
Have you noticed, all my pictures and some of my widgets dont seem to fit?
I spent a good hour looking up how to fix it, but [apparently] the only fucking option is that I revert to the 'Stretch' template. I DONT WANT TO DO THAT. I want an adorable background but with like a middle lighter colour for the posts and other stuff. I know I'm a noob when it comes to blogging, so I decided to google blogger backgrounds that allowed it. The result? NOTHING.
They either charged too much, or wernt pretty enough. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT? Its driving me crazy!

2. My sisters.
I've already ranted a bit about them in a previous post. But seriously. I feel like fucking BREAKING SOMETHING whenever I have a fight with them. Especially Amy. Amy is a bitch. I hate Amy. Amy thinks shes the shit.
Amy, is wrong.
Amy can GO AND FUCKING DIE.
And when mother dearest starts siding with Amy, my suspicions of being adopted come back, stronger and clearer then ever.
Sometimes, Amy can be fun. She can even be NICE at times! [You know its a big deal when you make in capitals AND italics]
But that, is rare.
Amy is like, amazing at annoying the FUCK out of me. She really is. I gotta hand it to her. She takes the prize there [sorry, Delerium!].
Okay so you wanna know what she does that is so offending?
-She takes my things without asking. And if she does ask, she gives her request a little push, courtesy of Mom and/or Dad. Then she either a) Never returns them/loses them OR b) Never gives me credit/is never thankful.
-Acts like: shes older than me/ knows better than me/ is better than me/ is a pure soul/ is bubbly and innocent.
I'm the only one who can see through her act. And that sucks.
-Has an attitude problem.
-Is always spying on me.
-Doesnt seem to realize she is just 15, and not 18.

Yeah I know, I maybe confusing/boring you. But really, at this point I dont care. Its MY blog. I can write what I want.
You may notice Im kind of possessive. I hate to share. Its the truth, and its out.
But see, can you really blame me? I have three siblings, and we're all expected to 'share' and 'get along'. I mean what the fuck? I have NO privacy what so ever. They've even taken over my new room, and when I screamed about how I was almost 18 and needed my space, you know what my Mom/Dad said?
'You only get privacy after you're married.'
WHAT THE FUCK OKAY THIS IS NOT THE PURANA FUCKING ZAMANA. HAVE THEY BEEN LIVING UNDER A FUCKING ROCK, DO THEY NOT KNOW THAT CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY TEENS TEND TO GET FRUSTRATED WHEN PARENTS/SIBLINGS CANNOT BACK OFF, FOR EVEN A SECOND?

Ahem.

3. Boys.
Well, if you're a girl, then you know, this one is self-explanatory.
If you disagree, you'll agree sooner or later.

Aah. I have to go study now. Hate to, have to. LITERATURE ON MONDAY. Fuck.

Love & Hate,

CLG.

Why I Love Glee

Some random, reasons why Glee should be on your summer-watching list.

 1. MEG CABOT LOVES GLEE.
Okay, so thats not WHY I love Glee, its one of the reason, or maybe the main reason, why I started watching it in the first place! The other reason is MLIA. They had all these Glee realted posts, so I had to see what all the fuss was about.
Meg Cabot is Epic therefore Glee=Epic.

2. Its about MUSIC and SINGING.
I went through this phase last year, also in 2008 where I was convinced I was the Next Hilary Duff.
No, this isnt sarcasm. I loved HD. Though I dont really NOT like her, its just I listen to other stuff now.
She So Yesterday.
...
No pun intended.
...
Aw, what the hell, you know pun was intended.
ANYWAY.
To cut a LOOONG, big headed story short, I sang at a few school events and all my friends and numerous people agreed I had 'the voice'. I think I lost it somewhere along the way. But with Glee I can at least dream of those happy times, and wish I still had the voice.
Rachel always manages to dash that dream.

3. THIS VIDEO.
Okay, I've been watching this nonstop, AND IT STILL HASN'T GOTTEN OLD.
This is an old song, which has gotten a makeover from Glee.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO.
Okay, before I bore you with an in-depth fluffly analysis, do me a favor and fall in love:



Okay first of all, in the angel getup THEY LOOK SO ANGELIC! [Seriously, no pun intended here]. I love Rachel's golden wings in the end, and how the cheerleaders look so beautiful and innocent in the begining.

Then the whole making-the-song-into-a-movie thing. I LOVED that.
And last but not the least the guys.

 Puck, Jesse or Fin?
Wow, Puck totally had me drooling in the first part. THE MUSKULAR BODZ! And that sexy bad-boy Mohawk. He is seriously, adorably hot.
I never realized Jesse was so good looking you know? I always thought he had this wishy-washy look about him. I'm glad to be proven wrong. And Fin, he was just too cute.

Well ladies, [and gents, if any read this] I guess the winner would have to be Puck.

What do you think? Don't hesitate to leave a comment. I get very excited about those as well.
Also, do you realize I have EIGHT followers now?
Yeah, I scream cool babay.

Oh and:

4- I love how Glee features dramatic irony. [Yes, I have Literature as a subject, shut up.]
Characters like Sue Sylvester never fail to crack me up, and if you know me well, you'll know I LOVE to laugh, but very things succeed in making me do so.

Glee is hilarious, with just the right amount of depth, a whole lot of fun and best of all: SHOW CHOIR!

If you're living under a rock, its time to crawl outa your happy place, and get into mine.
WATCH GLEE.

Lots of Love,

CLG {aka, a huge Gleek}
