No. Seriously. It's not April's Fools, yet.

"Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal. The bill would require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site. Their full name would be used anytime a comment is posted."

You know, but here's the thing... How does anyone know if a commentator makes up an email and snail mail address? All they need to do is create a dummy Gmail account and that's that. What? Is Gawker going to check that every postal address is a real one for every comment? It's impossible.

Anyway, we'll be keeping an eye on it, but of course.
