Jordanian Internet Blackout Day

Tomorrow is the day we show that we care, tomorrow I'll join my fellow Jordanians in the virtual fight against our retarded law makers that came up with the a law to take away our freedom... to protect themselves from us... to protect their pay checks that they can't get enough of... to get us off the media map.

Yes ladies and gentlemen our country is about to join China and Iran in the fight against democracy, the clock has started ticking backwards now...  and we need to let those uneducated, uncultured people behind this decision be aware that we are not stupid.. that we refuse to be striped away from our freedom.

Jordanian Government Censorship Protecting You From Reality

This time it's not about SOPA (in the U.S.) nor PIPA (in Europe), this time it's right here in Jordan ! The Jordanian government sent ISPs (Internet Service Providers) an order to block around 800,000 websites within 30 days ! including websites that are not only porn-related, but any verified videos on YouTube, many news sites and anything to block Jordan off the media map.

Customer Service in Jordan

Hello ladies and gents! I’m back . . .

Did you miss me?

After 6 months of writing nonstop, I figured I’d give you all a nice short break from my ranting while I got my creative juices flowing again.

. . . Which brings me to today’s topic: Customer service in Jordan– the epitome of unprofessionalism. Picture a farm, or a jungle – nay, a vegetable market! Fact is, I do not want to insult animals by comparing them to these horrible, wretched people.

Since I’m against physical violence, I decided that the next best thing to hitting – let’s say – my internet provider, on the head, with a hammer, many times, till he’s unconscious, would be to . . . *drumroll*  . . . write about it.

To those of you who beg to differ, and say that Jordan is the hub of professionalism (and good manners), let me enlighten you with some personal experiences.
