Tratan de censurar a Formoltv!!! / They are trying to censor Formoltv!!!

Primero lo primero: la libertad de expresión existe justamente para proteger las expresiones que a mí más me molestan. Esto aplica para todos los que respiramos oxígeno en este planeta. La libertad de expresión no es un embeleco de película de abogados neoyorquinos declamando su alegato con voz trémula delante del jurado, es algo que los internautas vivimos todos los días, y que en el mundo real casi no se ve.

Cada blogger tiene la dichosa oportunidad de decir lo que piensa; que le guste o no a quienes lo leen, eso es otra cosa. No siempre va a gustar lo que escribo, ya en más de una ocasión me he llevado mi sarta de reprimendas justicieras, al fin y al cabo, esto es parte del juego.

Lo que no debe ser parte del juego, es lo que están haciendo con Formoltv, uno de los blogs sobre farándula colombiana más populares de la Internet. Su registro de visitas es la envidia de cualquier colega metido en este negocio (incluido yo). Esa afluencia la han conseguido desmitificando a punta de humor ácido las desfasadas pretensiones del showbiz criollo, que se cree venido a más creyéndose sus propias mentiras.

Con unos esfuerzos bien coordinados, se pretende llevar a los estrados judiciales a los responsables del blog, Juliantintán y Kain Hellraiser. Ellos han prometido dar la pelea, pero aun así necesitan sin duda sentir el apoyo y solidaridad de sus colegas bloggers y de sus seguidores en general. Quienes orquestaron la maniobra deben saber que el equipo de Formoltv no está solo.

En Internet hemos encontrado la oportunidad de expresarnos libremente, no permitamos que se dejen sentar precedentes legales cuya ramificaciones terminen convirtiendo el ciberespacio en otro estado policial/totalitario.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First things first: freedom of speech exists to protect speech that disgusts me the most. This applies to all of us that breathe oxygen on this planet. Freedom of expression is not some delusion that you could watch in a New York-based movie in which lawyers are spouting their pleas before the jury in hyperdramatic fashion; here in the Internet is something we live in every day, and it is very seldom seen in the real world.

Every blogger has the happy opportunity to say what he thinks, those who read it may like it or not, that's another thing. There is always going to be somebody who doesn't like what I post in my blog, and in more than one occasion I have taken my string of reprimands, I know that after all, this is part of the game, too.

What should not be part of the game is what some people are doing with Formoltv, a very popular blog about Colombian celebrities. Their record of visits is the envy of every colleague that got into this business (including me). This inflow has been achieved by the way of being mercilessly humorous, pouring acid into the local showbiz pretensions , which seem to be believing their own lies.

With a well coordinated effort, they are seeking to bring before the courts those responsible for the blog, Juliantintán and Kain Hellraiser. They have vowed to fight back, but certainly still need to feel the support and solidarity from their fellow bloggers and their followers in general. Those who orchestrated the move should know that the team Formoltv is not alone.

On the Internet we found the opportunity to express ourselves freely, do not let that stop legal precedent whose ramifications would end turning cyberspace more into a totalitarian state

Ingrid of the Jungle

A Dr. sipmac translation (original text taken from Tijera Press)

"This should never have happened. Everything was so crystal clear in my mind: Larry King, Oprah, then the Nobel Prize, best-selling books about my captivity in Spanish, English and French, a major motion picture in Hollywood, the Awards ceremony, negligence lawsuit against the Colombian state, the presidency, and then ... " Perhaps I exaggerate, but more than one of these things certainly thought Ingrid Betancourt during and after his captivity. The story of her mighty tantrum originated because she didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize says a lot.

Accustomed as we are to their miscalculations, it took us completely by surprise the obvious: writers Serge Scotto and Eric Stoffel, teamed up with illustrator Richard di Martino and prepared between July 2008 and December 2009 the perfect blow to the arrogance and ambition of the former hostage, a comic satire of her well known behavior in and out of captivity. A simple idea, but it never ocurred until now in this proud land of "humorists".

Currently scheduled to go on sale one week before the captivity memoir "There is no silence that does not end", the graphic satire and is already an Internet sensation. The web forums are full of prospective buyers, willing to buy a Spanish version.

Yet to be known is if the parody will be successful in France, where there was certainly a lot of backlash, and saturation with everything having to do with Ingrid Betancourt; but is almost certain that it could be completely successful in the country that loves to hate her. Meanwhile, she continues with its strong levels of unpopularity, which I doubt can be alleviated with an exclusive interview with reputed writer and intellectual Héctor Abad. Even Larry King at its best couldn't have been able to rescue her image. Another gaffetastic miscalculation.

We should recall that her first miscalculation was to enter a combat zone in spite of the warnings.

Antología incompleta e incoherente de fatuidades, delirios y desvaríos

Ah, las cosas en las que uno llegó a creer, y que, sin que alguien en particular le haga ver las cosas a uno de forma diferente, con tan sólo un breve distanciamiento, o con la perspectiva que dan los años, le hacen ver a uno que malgastó su tiempo en algo vano, fatuo; que vivió un delirio. Cuando



















When he was a child, Dr. sipmac was watching on TV a very popular and convoluted melodrama, practically on the edge of his seat. Her mother passed by, took a look, and coldly dismissed the production by saying that real life was even more tortuous than a TV show.
