Thank you EU for giving my site a clear advantage over all the sites in Europe. (end sarcasm) This is the type of law that breaks things, but doesn’t solve any problems. That’s the worst kind.

Don’t get me wrong, I love europeans, just not the terrible legislative monster that’s the EU! Did you know that the EU’s accounts have not been signed off on for 17 YEARS! http://www.taxpayersalliance.com/eu/2011/11/eus-accounts-signed.html

I know what you mean, James. It’s a real mess.
