Nothing says "Epic Fail" quite like DDoSing one's whole nation into submission. At least Pakistan got what it wanted: none of its citizens are going to be seeing any blasphemous internet content . . .

If I read it correctly, they also successfully screwed YouTube over for an hour... so a pyhrric victory at the least.

Lately Pakistan has been 'Epic Fail' in general...

Pyhrric victory indeed. To paraphrase Pyrrhus himself: "One more such victory will undo Pakistan (at least on the internet)."

By "Pakistan"...do we actually mean "Pakistan" or do we REALLY mean Musharraf?
