Censorship, who needs it?

Learning that 50 cent writes his own tweets I decided to find what words of wisdom 50 could bestow on me.
to my dismay I could only find up-to-date tweets that were a little more couth than what I had expected, but today I found this, a list of his brightest thoughts. A best of. Tweets about Politics, Genetics and computers, you name it 50 has his own opinion on it.

My personal favorite is on Obama's approval rating. "Obamas ratings are down cause he didn't include pimpin and hoein in stimulus package. Good hoes would boost male moral and fix the recession".

It seems like a joke, but it’s completely serious. Most celebrities have people, some time teams of people, working on their social network sites like Facebook and twitter, but not 50.
I commend him for this, I think its great that he doesn’t care what people think, expressing his opinion however vulgar it may be. It makes him seem like a real person, we're only a tweet away from talking to the REAL 50 cent, not someone controlling his twitter site. It’s also great for a good laugh

To finish things off I’ll share my favorite viral video of the last 6 months, The beautiful woman, the beautiful woman, the rippin’ and the tearin’, the rippin’ and the tearin’

Censorship and the Streisand Effect

Be warned if you ever try to have some information removed from public display, you might become a victim of the Streisand Effect, where the act of censoring something unintentionaly causes the information to be widely publicised.

The term originated in 2003 when Barbra Streisand attempted to have a photo which included her beach front home removed from a photographic survey documenting Californian coastal errosion, her suit of the photographer and site host led to widespreed knowledge of the photo and over 400,000 additional site veiws within the month.
