Open letter to Lahore High Court & Advocate Mohammad Azhar Siddiqui
Subject: Note of thanks on the decision to ban Facebook.
Dear Sirs,
First of all, let me commend you on your act to ban the devil's playground Facebook from the land of the pure. Surely it is within the GUI of this web based social networking site that the devil himself resides.
Had a lesser number of laptops and desktops been used in the past years to access Facebook, we would not have been in a power crisis that we face today.
Had people not accessed links like "this girl committed suicide after she uploaded a naked photo", they would've not been so frustrated and Mukhtara Mai would have still had her honor.
Had people not seen clips of Altaf Hussain’s press conference, women would still have adorned the burqa like it was meant to keep something concealed.
And what do you think Osama Bin Laden did during all those years in that house in Abottabad? Facebook ofcourse. Had it been banned sooner, OBL would've gotten bored of watching American idol on YouTube and gone out for a walk, making it easier to catch him.
More jobs would have been created...
Our nation would have been self-sufficient in petroleum... More over, Quaid-e-Azam would have cut the inaugural ribbon to commission the Kalabagh Dam.
Sir, it is with a deep sense of pride that I am going to tell my children that I lived in an age when Facebook was banned and how you, together with the support of the people of Pakistan, saved the world from total annihilation.
Because let's face it, the way Facebook is progressing, the end of days will be soon at hand. We already have women talking back, it's not long till the terminator comes to claim the life of John Connor and as recent history reveals, Rehman Malik would be unable to be anywhere than "be back".
So Thank you Sir for realising that Facebook is that virulent pathogen by way of which we would've met our end and taking solid steps to save....
