In other news, rioting in London was empowered today when Riot Police were confronted by large slip 'n slides shuttling the protesters from storefront to storefront.
Chief Constable Wiggum P. Jackhole was quoted as saying "We were totally distracted by not only how fast they were heading down those slides, but all the young ladies in white shirts zipping by!"
He added that in the above cases, Riot Police had troubles wielding their nightsticks.
Prime Minister Cameron has called for a ban on all tight fitting white t-shirts and wet plastic throughout the UK.
Stop trying to shoot the messenger. Stop wasting time looking like you're doing something to address the problem by hunting down some kids and start addressing the needs of your populace. Stop trying to become more controlling of communications over this. Take a step back and look at the social, political and economic reasons why your youth decided they had little to lose by rioting and address that.
Or, you know, you could keep turning more into an oppressive state that spies on it's own citizens, shuts off the telecom messaging systems and ponders creating a kill switch for internet social media because of your problems.
That could totally solve your problems, right? Let me know how that works out, UK.
I'm waiting for someone to patent the business process of shutting down a start up and selling their patents to recoup losses. That might provide some protections.
To TV/Movies/Music studios: Whether you like it or not, you are now global, you are now on-demand and you are now dealing with a connected customer base more tech-savvy than you are. Use it, stop fighting and ignoring it.
DO not fear, citizen. Our ISP's will ensure we cannot in fact download a car fast enough to get to work. They have committed themselves to ensuring all cars downloaded are properly registered and will enforce bandwidth caps to ensure you lowly poor who can only afford low-resolution pinto 4 cylinders do not in fact download a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport.
...unless you proxy through Brazil. Then you can drive to work at 274 mph, but you can't use the windshield without a crack.
