Megaupload
Hey! | This article isn't lulz just yet, but its coverage can spark a lollercoaster. You can help by reverting people who delete shit, and vandalizing their user pages. See this article on Google? Want to add something? Join us! |
Megaupload is a website to which you upload copyrighted content in order to get internet reputation and appreciation because you have no friends. Megaupload generated billions of dollars from selling you premium accounts and showing you ads while you hold your cock ready for fapping and waiting for the video to start playing. On January 19, 2012, immediately following the SOPA blackout protests by sites such as Wikipedia and Reddit, the FBI decided it would be a prime time to terrorize web 2.0 sites by shutting the site down. The shut down of MegaPorn scared the FatASS out of Kim Dotcom which resulted in him giving interviews everywhere to defend himself and locking his doors when FBI came for him. Not a single fuck was given that day. People who want to watch stuff will use torrents or another alternative anyway. After all, in response, Anonymous DDoS'd them (because that totally will make a long-term difference) and shut down the FBI web site for a while. The focus on Kim "Dotcom" in the media quickly shifted to pointing out his video game habits, as news media competed to find a scoop.

Mona
Mona, Kim's wife preggers with twins, is kept from seeing her three helpless children (aged 19 months, 3 years and 4 years):

After the cops took all her money:
—Mona Dotcom |
Due to the New Zealand/FBI harassment, Mona will probably be forced to give birth in a ditch and miscarry her clone fetuses, and the police will probably sell the three living children into prostitution to buy more ammunition as they gear up for a future assault on FileServe.
Mega Song
Nigga upload, the hit song involving Will.i.am,P Diddy, Kanye West, Chris Brown, Jamie Foxx, Kim Kardashian, Lil John, The Game, Floyd Mayweather, Serena Williams, and Ciara sparked controversy when it was removed due to butthurt after being created on December 9, 2011. Megaupload wanted to countersue UMG and demanded an apology, because they actually had contracts with all of the listed artists. However, YouTube returned the video since everyone mirrored it anyway. (Except for Will.I.Am, according to his lawyers.)
