The Locker Library of Locked-Up Literature
May 25, 2009 12:29 PM   Subscribe

John Gilmore once said, "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." Evidently, so do heroes like Kat Atreides: "I go to a private school [...] the principal and school teacher council released a (very long) list of books we're not allowed to read. I was absolutely appalled [...] [o]ne of my personal favorites, The Catcher in the Rye, was on the list, so I decided to bring it to school [...] a boy in my English class asked if he could borrow the book [...] my locker got to overflowing with the banned books, so I decided to put the unoccupied locker next to me to a good use. I now have 62 books in that locker, about half of what was on the list."

I know, a FPP from Yahoo! Answers. I can't believe it myself.

Isn't this both a double and a fake? That takes some doing.

What I still don't get is why the kids don't just go to the regular library.

The chiropractor just cracked my back. I always thought they were fake science, but goodness, I do like the back-cracking.

Do we all get to call fake here too? Because calling fake makes you so totally cool.
