A hole in Facebooks armor.

Lamebook links are now banned from Facebook, however as I notified lamebook earlier FB doesn't block their IP so a simple http://76.74.223.44 will work. I've got to say, Facebook needs to step down from the turret and stop gunning down innocent startups.

I posted in another thread that it was ironic Facebook would be against the re-purposing of a facebook's info and photos, given that's exactly what Zuck did to create Facemash.

But honestly, one must sympathize with their desire to protect their brand. They don't need "their" photos to be the source material for the entire internet's memes and jokes. Let somebody with less at stake fill that niche.
