Cyberspace, you’re breaking my heart

So the Indian government wants to censor Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, MSN… again.

IT Minister Kapil Sibal is furious. Here’s a theme song especially for him…

Please read to the tune of Cecilia, you’re breaking my heart, by Simon and Garfunkel.

(Sibal…)

Cyberspace, you’re breaking my heart,
You’re shaking my confidence daily,
Oh, Cyberspace, I’m down on my knees,
I’m begging you please to censor those…

Cyberspace, you’re upsetting the applecart,
You’re shaking the government daily,
Oh, Cyberspace, I’m down on my knees,
I’m begging you please to stop being so loathsome…

Getting hate in those cartoons n pix in Cyberspace,
Up in my office computer (getting hate),
I got up to speak in a PC,
When I come back to the net,
There’s a few more tonnes of hate…

Cyberspace, you’re a big ole fart,
You’re leaving all of us politicians shaking with rage daily,
Oh, Cyberspace, I’m down on my knees,
I’m begging you please to get lost…
Go on, get lost…

(Cyberspace…)

Desperation,
The government’s lost it again,
I fall on the floor and I laughing,

Desperation,
The government’s lost it again,
I fall on the floor and I’m laughin…

(Original Song: Cecilia.
Group: Simon and Garfunkel.
Year: 1970)

First voter: Two double negatives is a positive, na?
Second voter: Yes!
First voter: Then if an irrelevant person says that an issue is irrelevant, then that thing becomes relevant, na?
Second voter: I guess!

The two ailing stages of every politician arrested in India for a scam.

This Spoof by Sunil Rajguru

Overheard 9…

First Pak official: There’s a mistake here… it says “Unclear Safeguard Plan”. Shouldn’t it be “Nuclear Safeguard Plan”?
Second Official: Both spellings are correct.

Indian Official:
I cannot give a positive spin on oil prices any more.
PM: Please explain to them that in exactly the same way that I am in charge of the government and not the Congress President; the oil companies are in charge of the oil prices and not the government!

First Official: Anna Hazare, nuclear plants, Chidambaram, 2G… we need something to take the heat away from these issues…
Second Official: FDI in retail?
