March 2008, Photobucket decided that showing bare behinds was nudity and threatened the safety and security of users... even if they were BABY pictures. Front-line staff Manager and Corporate trainer Monica M. Massad did finally concede and make allowanced for baby pictures, but evidently the hearts of the moderators are so filthy and corrupt that they assume everyone lusts in their hearts when they see baby pictures just like they must. After all, why else would they look at a nude baby picture and deem it pornography? Before long, I imagine nothing will be considered art and even such things as exposed navals will be deemed vile and repulsive. Heaven forbid should someone post a picture of someone wearing a bathing suit. You might think that Photobucket is owned by Jerry Falwell's Ministries.
Who owns Photobucket? Australian-American media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. It also owns MySpace as well. Yes, Rupert Murdoch, the same man who owns Fox News... the network that pushes hate, fear, and ignorance to its viewers and supports the Christian Right and its "holy war" against the Muslim race. Yes, the same man who owns News International, the British arm of Murdoch's News Corp. which publishes the News of the World, which was criticized by U.K. lawmakers for their illegal wiretaps, which they call "hacking."
Rupert Murdock, most recently, has been criticized for his business affiliations with Saudi Prince Al-Waleed, which is interesting considering the fact that 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi citizens. What makes this tidbit of information interesting is that Murdock's Fox News has made so many references to the evils of 9/11 and the evils of Islam. Add Fox News' support for the large oil corporations, include some inside information of a large oil company bribing Iran to hold the hostages in the Middle East until after the , add a dash of olive juice, and shake thoroughly and you have the makings of a full blown 9/11 New World Order conspiracy Martini that may have some credibility. Some insight into the inside information held by this reporter can be alluded to by the quote from Mark Danner's blog in The New Yorker:
Sick writes, “a series of delaying tactics ... by the Iranian Parliament stymied all attempts by the Carter Administration to act on the hostage question … before Election Day.”
Murdock seems to be joining forces with religious extremists. First Christian Right extremists, now Muslim extremists. He is buying his way to controlling more American media and threatening to cut off any rational thinking from media airwaves. Should we have given the conspiracy theorists a little more recognition?
