Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter - The Frederick News-Post : Politics And Government

Quoting:

"Knowing Councilman Kirby Delauter as we do, we weren't surprised that he threatened The Frederick News-Post with a lawsuit because we had, he says — and we're not making this up — been putting Kirby Delauter's name in the paper without Kirby Delauter’s authorization. Attorneys would be called, Kirby Delauter said.
In fact, we spent quite some time laughing about it. Kirby Delauter, an elected official; Kirby Delauter, a public figure? Surely, Kirby Delauter can't be serious? Kirby Delauter’s making a joke, right?"

^_^

Same to you Assuredcw!

OK, I'll bite -- what is the Streisand effect?

Here you go!

The Streisand effect is the phenomenon whereby an attempt to hide, remove, or censor a piece of information has the unintended consequence of publicizing the information more widely, usually facilitated by the Internet. It is named after American entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose 2003 attempt to suppress photographs of her residence in Malibu, California inadvertently drew further public attention to it. Similar attempts have been made, for example, in cease-and-desist letters to suppress numbers, files, and websites. Instead of being suppressed, the information receives extensive publicity and media extensions such as videos and spoof songs, often being widely mirrored across the Internet or distributed on file-sharing networks.[1][2]

I like the suggestion that someone made in the comments - they should add "Kirby Delauter could not be reached for comment" at the end of every article they print.

Hahaha, that would be amazing.

"I-5 will be closed for work between the hours for 10pm and 4am, Kirby Delauter could not be reached for comment."

Yes.. so much that, they need to do that.
