Liberty and Justice for Midnight Parking

Farsheed Hamidi-Toosi, owner and blogger for MidnightParking.com, has been unjustly accused and sentenced to line strikeout and elimination in the Yo La Tengo Late-Summer Weblog Challenge hosted by Ben Popik of PicnicLightning.net. Such an act of tyrannical elimination without so much as a "hello, how are you" or such commonplace, normal social formalities only adds insult to injury. How dare Midnight Parking be eliminated from the challenge based on rumors, lies, and speculation! The real victims here are the blog reading public, those that were rooting and tooting for Midnight Parking to solidly cross that finish line with over 150 original, on-time entries. Now we may never see those entries, as no doubt the shock and sadness that will hit poor Mr. Toosi will cause him to not only never blog again, but to delete entries he has written during this challenge out of spite and anger. It is a dangerous path we tread upon, readers, that preemptive sentencing without even a trial has become commonplace in our society. If you feel as strongly as we do please sign this petition and it will be presented to Mr. Popik in all his tyrannical glory to show that the public disagrees with his unjust actions. Hopefully we can reach 1,000,000 signatures by the end of next week. Forward this to anyone you think believes as strongly in this as we do.
