Ivica Kirin, Croatian story

For all of you BoingBoing readers here is short summary of what has happened. Please note that this whole thing is unfolding since our minister was appointed just over a year ago. If you need some additional info, contact me at mracni (dot) blog (at) gmail (dot) com.

Most likely the best-known Minister of Sanader’s Government, Ivica Kirin (Ministry of Interior, MUP), after his numerous blunders which resulted in few jubito works on popular internet video service YouTube, was forbidden to give any public statements, published Feral Tribune, on 3 May. Later on, on 13 May, those allegations resulted with an article in Jutarnji list which coincided with the latest video work on hushing Ivica Kirin.

Ivica Kirin, Croatian minister of interior

In spite of the disclaimer of the Government and MUP, the fact is that Kirin has made rare public speaking appearances over the last few weeks.

If he actually shows up in the media, it is mainly about protocol obligations like commemorations and contract executions whereas the media space is left short from Kirin’s appearances on radio and TV debates. However, Spokesperson of the Ministry of Interior, Zlatko Mehun, has stuck to MUP’s official denial and described Kirin’s disappearance as new communication strategy of MUP.

On the possibility of connection between Kirin’s reduced media appearances and Jubito (as YouTube was mispronounced by Kirin), the Government’s spokesperson, Ratko Maček determinedly rejected those speculations but claimed that Kirin should be more careful in his public statements.

Evidently, banned media appearances are nowhere to be seen in the world, but are possible in Croatia.

Yesterday, during the last day of joint NATO excercise IDASSA 2007, minister Kirin stated that: “It was fun to watch in the beginning because I though this videos were made by young rebels and alternatives, and then we have discovered thru the servers that this videos are published by our political rivals from SDP (Social Democratic Party). Let them be sure that this is nothing compared to what we are going to show during our forthcoming campaign”.

Ivica Kirin - dumb or dumber?

Today, SDP representatives in Croatian parliament demanded that minister come to the parliament and explain his words, and after their motion was denied they have left the parliament.

In the meantime, ministry of interior as well as mr. Kirin himslef has made a statement claiming that this were not his words regardless of the fact that he was talking to a bunch of journalists who were also present.

It should be also mentioned that his mispronunciation of the “youtube” into “jubito” has created a whole new industry in croatia, so you now have web sites called jubito (net, com, info, org), as well as a whole line of apparel and fashion accessories (see cafepress).

The whole Kiro prosviro serial can be viewed on YouTube under these links:

Thought of the day:
Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of ruling party. But I repeat myself.

Cenzura u saboru!?

Prije nekoliko dana izašao je Nacional u kojem je bilo govora o upotrebi interneta u političkim kampanjama, pa je kao primjer korišten Kiro prosviro (kojeg svakoga časa očekujemo u trećem dijelu nazvanom “Špijun koji me volio”). Neposredno nakon toga, slučajno ili ne, u hrvatskom saboru je onemogućen pristup youtube-u (kaže Nacional):Cenzura

Nakon što je u novom broju Nacionala izišao tekst o političkoj kampanji na internetu, na svim računalima u Hrvatskom saboru, a i u nekim državnim službama blokiran je pristup internet stanici YouTube.com. Oporbeni zastupnici i državni službenici koji su protekla dva dana pokušavali pristupiti toj stranici sa službenih računala automatski su preusmjereni na početnu stranicu Carneta.

Nakon što je priča procurila novinarima, saborske službe su se pokušale opravdati tehničkim razlozima da bi popodne youtube.com ponovno proradio.

Opće je poznato kako se u državnim službama filtrira sadržaj koji je dostupan korisnicima i iskreno mi je čudno kako to da takav podatak i dosada nije dopro do novinara. Primjerice u hrvatskom saboru (neka me netko ispravi ako griješim) na saborskim računalima je onemogućeno instaliranje flash-a, tako da iako saborski zastupnici (i zastupnice) mogu do youtube-a, uzalud im trud jer Kirina vidjeti ne mogu (ovo je tehničko ograničenje nametnuto od administratora sustava i bilo bi zanimljivo čuti objašnjenje zašto je to tako). No u saboru nema ograničenja na koje stranice možete otići, ali zato u državnoj upravi takva ograničenja postoje (sasvim sam siguran da postoje ograničenja u ministarstvu financija, za ostale ne znam) i tamo u principu ne možete na strane stranice.

Koji je smisao ograničavanja pristupa informacijama u sabora koji je vrhovno kontrolno tijelo funkcioniranja ove države totalni je misterij.

Koji je smisao toga? Neka dobra dušica će sigurno zaključiti kako je to da bi spriječili korisnike da surfaju po nepoćudnim stranicama, no istovremeno kada bi imali državnog službenika željnog novih znanja (znam, znam, oxymoron – no prije ili kasnije će se pojaviti i takav službenik, a tada se sjetite još kada sam ja pisao o tome) tada taj na hrvatskom dijelu interneta ne bi baš mogao puno toga naučiti i preostale bi mu strane stranice do kojih ne može doći.

Pokušava li veliki brat zabraniti pristup informacijama za svojih 250.000 vjernih službenika glasača?

Misao dana:
Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only weapon against bad ideas is better ideas.

Novi val Ivice Kirina

Prije točno dva tjedna na internetu je lansiran najnoviji video uradak Ivice Kirana nazvan “Povratak kralja”, u 14 dana dvominutni filmić pogledalo je četrdesetak tisuća ljudi, a niti prvi uradak “Kiro prosviro” nije imalo lošije prošao i danas bilježi više od 85.000 prikazivanja. Sasvim je sigurno da je naš akademski obrazovani ministar zauvijek ušao u antologiju hrvatske gluposti ali i hrvatskog interneta.

Rijeka HajdukNo ovaj posljednji uradak pokrenuo je i malo veću lavinu, naime cijeli niz stvari se desio nakon tog video uratka. Primjerice, prodane su domene jubito.com i jubito.net, email adrese na besplatnim web servisima poput [email protected] su također zauzete (via Borja).

U subotu su primijećene i jubito majce u Anićevoj robnoj kući na Trgu bana Jelačića (dio kolekcije “Project Sabotage”, ovo via aktualije), a na subotnjoj utakmici Rijeke i Dinama, u času kada su BBBove ugurali u zaštitnu ogradu navijači su skandirali “jubito, jubito” (via. zombix).

I biser na kraju, gotovo je neprimjećen proletio izvještaj HINAe koji kaže kako je prošloga tjedna u Virovitici upisano još 431 donatora koštane srži, a izvješće kaže;

U Registar su se, među ostalim, danas u Virovitici upisali ministar unutarnjih poslova Ivica Kirin, saborski zastupnik Josip Đakić, gradonačelnik Virovitice Zvonko Kožnjak i Anini kolege iz dopisništava dnevnih novina.

Misao dana:
Marvin: “I am at a rough estimate thirty billion times more intelligent than you. Let me give you an example. Think of a number, any number.”
Zem: “Er, five.”
Marvin: “Wrong. You see?”
The mattress was much impressed by this and realised that it was in the presence of a not unremarkable mind.
