Aussies fear big cocks!

When Australia’s Communications Minister Stephen Conroy announced that the Australian Communications and Media Authority would make it mandatory for ISPs to block Net content based on a governmental blacklist, critics said the move was misguided and ineffective. Nonetheless, Conroy pressed on. Now an alleged blacklist of “illegal or unwanted” sites has been provided to Wikileaks.com by a software maker claiming to have been commissioned with implementing its use.

While the list of 2,395 censored Web sites include numerous urls no sane person would follow from their own computers, it is also said to feature links to YouTube, MySpace, fringe religions, assisted suicide how-tos, gambling sites, regular workaday Internet porn and even one for an Australian dental clinic. Perhaps indicative of Conroy’s own shortcomings, blackmonstercocks.com is also deemed unfit for the people’s PCs (before claims of racism are made, it is worth noting that allbigcocks.com is also banned), with fines of up to $11,000 a day threatened against anyone who hyperlinks to the banned sites.

While the ACMA dismissed the published list as a politically motivated fraud, it also announced they’re considering prosecuting Wikileaks’ admins and whoever provided the list in the first place.
