Comments on A Flickr fix
When are you guys going to get with the program and start using the term everyone else on the planet uses, the Great Firewall, or GFW? What's your particular aversion to this term, one wants to know.
I like net nanny because it gives the evil overlords of Chinese net censorship an old-lady persona, to whose whimsical desires the Internet must bow down to, which in turn lets us enjoy making psychological disorder jokes at Her expense. (I do think all pronouns referring to Her should from now on be capitalized, however)
I'm with Danwei on the name since most people I know here in China call it the Nanny. I'm more confused by what a "mickey" is supposed to be, since it's slang for a small bottle of liquor where I'm from.
You didn't link to the right greasemonkey script. The one you linked to removes some transparent overlay images on flickr.
