(http://stormen.wordpress.com/2009/07/27/att-blocks-4chan/) This is not going to end well.

For 15.5% of Americans, there goes internet neutrality.

This is like the Eastern Front in WW2: you have to ask youself "Couldn't this be about nothing larger than the main antagonists for once? And would it be too much trouble for them both to lose?'

What the hell is 4chan's /b/ board?

I didn't know either, so I looked it up.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan#.2Fb.2F) /b/.
I assume it's blocked for containing what AT&T deems "offensive" material.

Not really my bag to seriously root for them; but whatever the lashback is will be devilishly devious. We shouldn't be disappointed.

Only the origin of most internet memes, meaning it is a collection of horror and beauty.

spend a few hours on the encyclopedia dramatica. that is, if you're not feeling pissed-off enough.

What is the line of reasoning here? "These guys are creative, ruthless, aggressive, internet savvy, and have no boundaries. Let's piss them off." Because starting something with (http://macrochan.org/view.php?u=NQEFMVKOG4SBTINCBMJ6GJ4UBCDAO4PJ) them just doesn't seem like it will help the bottom line.

I expect all of their fax machines to start churning out page after page of "DESU DESU DESU..." any minute now.

If 4chan is comparable to 2006-era Iraq then /b/ is Baghdad. Or /b/aghdad if you will. A lawless wasteland where there are almost no rules. Child porn is one of the few nonos... except when it's animu. Real little boys are for (http://encyclopediadramatica.com/12chan) 12chan. (Not a link to 12chan itself, fuck that, but the ED article about it)
