Pakistan Blocking Blogs

The diligent Plus Ultra provides a list of things besides blogs that are being blocked in Pakistan: kites, "decadent" films from India, alcohol, and the root-beer-swilling Jon of the Garfield comic. Read the full list at the link; you don't want any surprises on your next fun-filled trip to Islamabad.
