    Reddit and Anonymous, and others are doing 8am til 8pm.

    Wikipedia stated it was going dark for the full 24 hours. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

    A FAR FAR better solution than this current fad of protesting that involves sticking it to the average joe. Wikipedia shuts down, who suffers? Us right, and we already don't support SOPA. Occupy Whatever city is upset, and who suffers? The average worker who can't use the roads because they're trying to make a point.

    I'm really sick of these groups using this 'I'm mad about something, so i'm going to slap YOU in the face' method of protest.

    No matter how you protest, it would be considered a slap in the face. The more effective protest would be a greater slap in the face, you must be asking for a less effective solution.

    Well I think the "I'm mad about something so I am going to tickle you" method of protest was sort of ineffective.
