I wonder if the sudden increase in piracy has any far reaching consequences for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism?

I hope with the government's forthcoming internet censorship cleanup, they'll have the good sense to ban anything related to Lazytown.

Just a sample of one of their songs:
"Yo ho fiddle dee dee,
Being a pirate is alright with me!
Yo ho fiddle dee do,
You are a pirate!"

Obviously we can't allow access to such damaging propaganda; it's practically encouraging this kind of activity.

Why, I'm surprised society hasn't already fallen apart as a result of this filth being distributed.
