HolyCoast Banned in India

Although it's not going to change my hit statistics a whole lot, I've been banned in India (along with every other Blogspot user):

India's burgeoning blogging community is up in arms against a government directive that they say has led to the blocking of their web logs.

The country's 153 internet service providers (ISP) have blocked 17 websites since last week on federal government orders.

Some of these sites belong to Google's Blogspot, a leading international web log hosting service.

Indian bloggers say that the decision is an attack on freedom of speech.

That's a really dumb idea on the part of the Indian government. Banning free speech in that manner only causes people to get more creative and it creates untold amounts of ill will among the populace. I bet they end up reversing this action pretty soon.

Besides, without being able to access HolyCoast.com, how will they ever know important stuff like this and this?
