Newsflash: The Hong Kong government now offers the next (logical ?) step in cemeteries: a virtual cemetery. This is also the next step (if there is one) in social networking. The website enables users to pay tribute to dead relatives and friends by creating an online memorial page with pictures and messages. You can send virtual flowers and offerings to comfort the dead in their afterlife, such as virtual chickens, fruit, roast suckling pig and paper money.
The website, memorial.gov.hk, has been set up to help people pay tribute to their loved ones “anytime and anywhere online in a warm, personalized yet solemn manner.” and, of course, this gets shared by anyone that visits the site. It will only allow memorials for Hong Kong residents on record of having been cremated at public crematoriums or buried at public cemeteries to guard against pranksters creating bogus pages. A government spokesman said the free service had been created to meet the needs of modern society and to promote sustainable forms of mourning and burial.
Used to be that what you felt and expressed at a grave site was private. Now it would get shared. It becomes a social networking website. I would bet that bad feelings and even fights could be generated by family members that wanted to express how they REALLY felt about the deceased.
So you visit a dead relative's website memorial and catch a virus on your computer. Do you assume that the virus is an embodiment of your dead relative's spirit and to remove it, if you desire, do you need more than a virus remover, say a virtual priest to perform an exorcism ??

Song time
HEY DO YOU REMEMBER THAT OLD SONG BY ...JONNY HORTON...THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS?... Well in 2010 we took a lil trip
down to Arizona cause the Illegals were talking lip.
We grabbed All our guns... and put our Huntin packs on
and we met the damn Illegals in the town of ol Tucson.
We fired our guns but the Illegals kept a commin ,,,,,there wasn’t as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to running ,Down the Santa Cruz to that shit hole Mexico
Well they ran through the cactus and they ran through the stickers ....they ran through places a coyote couldn't go
they ran so fast Immigration couldn’t catch um...Down the Santa Cruz to that shit hole Mexico.
WE looked towards the South and watched Illegals come... there must of been a thousand of um throwing all there scum
They stomped all the trails ... and they left their trash behind
now it looks like a shit hole... when it used to be sublime.
WE fired our guns and the Illegals kept a coming,... there wasn’t as many as there was awhile ago
we fired once more and they begin to running,... cross the Rio Grande to that shit hole Mexico.
They crawl in at night and they sleep on the ground,,,then thay leave in the morning and they burn the mountain down
Id like to catch um once and kick some fucking ass... we dont want um, and thay can keep their grass.
Well we fired our guns and the Illegals kept a coming,,, there wasn’t as many as there was awhile ago.
we fired once more and they begin to running ... down the Santa Cruz to the shit hole Mexico.
We ran um ALL off now our streets are safe and sound,,, we can even let our kids back on the play ground
we built up a wall so to not let um back,, NOW come back again and you’ll be leaving in a sack.
We all want to thank the town of Tucson,, now were all doing just great cause the Illegals are gone.
We don’t see low riders or any brown clowns,, cause all the circus music has been run out of town.
WE fired our guns and the Illegals kept a coming,, there wasn’t as many as there was a while ago
we fired once more and they begin to running,, down the Santa Cruz back to their shit hole Mexico.
