News Ltd Photo Editors Attempt To Kickstart Lolunderbelly Meme; Residents Of “File-Sharing Era” Unimpressed

While we’re still sulking about the fact that Underbelly has been banned from airing in Victoria (harrumph, thanks a lot, Justice Betty King, whoever YOU think you are, etc), we a) naturally thought “Oh well, time to hop on the P2P networks get our friends in Sydney to tape it for us” and thus, b) were mightily amused by this chilling News Ltd mock-up of what might happen in this heady technological era where banning a television show is NO OBSTACLE to people on the internets (click for full size):

We’re particularly amused by the portentous caption, “BitTorrent…” – that ellipsis says so much – “almost certainly undermine”, etc. Just imagine it being read out by a Fox News announcer with all the relevant (i.e. irrelevant) emphasis on certain words, or perhaps in the same tone as the old Grim Reaper campaign. And why only “63%”? Is it a coded message? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

Even the headline of the story is over the top: “Underbelly ban useless in file-sharing era”.

USELESS!
