# You're welcome, puzzled me at first then it just dawned on me
the url to your uploads wasn't to b3tards - but even b3tards doesn't have a working delete button as yet :(

who want to ensure our right to parody isn't untarnished, as if it ever was anyway. The whole point of parody is that you're poking fun at something, governments have been toppled by parodies and in some way the fact that often it can be legally borderline makes it funnier to the nth degree. Imagine V for Vendetta where the corrupt Government can't take any action against the Stephen Fry Tv comedian character - rather pointless I would say. But if this bill goes through we can have an open day on The Artist Former Known as Squiggle who wouldn't be able to do a thing about it because it's "parody"
