Everyone needs to watch this.
Yes, everyone. Yes, you.
Because burying your head in the sand over this issue doesn't make you cool or interesting or show everyone how against the grain you are because you choose not to involve yourself in corrupt American politics. No, it just makes you fucking ignorant. This is serious and dangerous and if you think you're too awesome to get involved, I hope you don't have the balls to bitch and complain when all your favorite websites are shut down and your freedom of speech is completely violated.
Don't let this happen to America.
If you go here you can send a letter to your congressman, you don't even have to write it, just sign your name.
I put together a few links here that are really helpful if you want to educate yourself or pass them around.

A petition that has over a million signatures already.
Jesus Christ, Firefox doesn't even want this to happen.
More information about what a fucking terrible idea this is.
How this bill would violate the First Amendment.
Stephn Colbert Explains SOPA.
The INVENTORS OF THE INTERNET are against it too!
How SOPA will affect GAMERS!
I have a lot to say about this but I'm gonna just leave you with this links and if I become inspired later I'll rant and rave about it. For now just focus on the task at hand and DO SOMETHING. Seriously.
I know everyone thinks it's cool to ~hate on America~ but take a second to grow up and appreciate the fact that:
This shit didn't happen here
You can't be executed for SORCERY!
The police can't arrest you and shave your head because you have a Mohawk
The smart states like gay people. We're working on it, okay? We're not there yet but there's been progess.
At least you don't live in one of these places where HOMOSEXUALITY IS ILLEGAL.
So quit being a fucking brat and do something to help.
