And Holden followed it up with a John Stewart double post that should have been a comment in the previous post.

I don't have a problem with non-english sites. Sure, they don't make for the best conversation, since most of us can't even read them, but then again, some of us can. MeFi is supposed to be about checking out those corners of the web we don't always visit. The web, at least from my perspective in the US, is extremely anglo-centric. I like to see how the other 95% of the world lives and views the web. Plus, many of us are web designers. The content isn't necessarily most important to us. I still manage to gain something from visiting a foreign site, even if I can't understand all the content.

My only problem in this case is the post's lack of explication. If we can't read the site itself, we definitely need a more thorough explanation in the post.

Besides, "fark.ru" sounds like scooby doo profanity.

Hee hee! "No Scooby Snacks? Fark rooo!"
