For this protest, I say we create a "Congress emergency off switch", only to be used in exceptional circumstances, so we can stop any single-color copyright infringements, child pornography breakouts or other crises as determined by fox news. The button would be hosted by a website, and if enough people press it at one time, then congress gets shut off and all proceedings are suspended until further notice.


So basically, Anonymous gets to shut down Congress all the time for no good reason.


Is this comment being downvoted for being sarcasm, for being poor sarcasm, or for having been misinterpreted as serious?

Just to sate my curiousity.


I just don't understand how shutting down congress will stop a single color copyright infringement from happening.


It's a pretty good suggestion, weird it's getting downvotes.
