Fuck the EU

I am tired of the EU's attempts at micromanaging the world. So I prepared a form letter in response to all stories related to the latest shit that it pulls:


===STANDARDIZED EU IDIOCY RESPONSE PAMPHLET===

Because EU politics led to those hearing/cookies warning boxes, and now they are engaged in (put current idiocy here):_________________________________ we should fire back at the EU with 'boxes' of our own, directed only at site visters in the EU. (put latest moronic EU excuse here):__________________________ is just their latest little grab for more power and control.


Lets make all site visitors in the EU contend with a giant modal "DANGER! YOU MIGHT BE OFFENDED OR SCARED BY THIS CONTENT! CLICK OK TO CONTINUE!" banner that covers the entire window until "OK" is pressed. Throw in a couple rounds of "Are you really sure?" before the box goes away and the content is accessable.


Make sure it covers the entire page and plays a very loud siren. Make it so it always pops up on every single page they try to navigate to.


This will be a good time to put asshole Javascript tricks to good use, such as disabling right clicking. When an EU user tries to right click on a page, pop up a message (again, big modal banner, loud siren) saying that that function has been disabled to protect them from copy/pasting any potentially offensive content. Make sure that if an EU user tries to disable Javascript in their browser, make it pop up a page with nothing but a message saying "Javascript is required for EU citizens to view this page" I would add a picture of a mean smiling clown for good measure.


Maybe the EU will wake up and the next time one of their glorious leaders pulls a stupid stunt, the whole EU gets 'punished'.


While I am usually against group punishments, maybe stuff like this will motivate the citzens of the EU to tell their glorious leaders to keep their mouths shut about stuff they know not about, and stop playing the micromanaging nanny.
