Regulating the Internet

The Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi reportedly said (in Italian) that he wants to put forward an international effort to regulate the internet when leading the next presidency of the G8. Just google up the terms "berlusconi g8 internet" if you want to know more.

Wow, the guys is a genius. This level of enlightenment is almost super-human. Nobody ever thought of it before, or - if they did - they didn't have the intellectual acumen necessary to make it happen.

I don't precisely know what the reactions from the G8 benches will be when this item will be brought up for actual discussion, but I have a feeling they might be along the lines of:

• big fat hysterical general laughter
• various exclamations like WTF, N00B, ROTFL rising from all sides
• Berlusconi accusing everyone of being an antidemocratic communist, as he usually does when people start disagreeing with him
• more hysterical general laughter
• meeting coming to a closure leaving everyone but him in tears (of laughter)

Well, at least he would brighten up the day.
