MUMBAI: The Maharashtra police have arrested a five-year-old child for allegedly making disparaging remarks about Spider-Man on Facebook. Apparently, the child posted a question on his wall: "There is no zipper in Spider-Man's suit. Where does he pee from?" 
Another child who liked the comment was also arrested.
The cops showed remarkable alacrity in the matter and swooped down on these tiny tots of terror who were all set to spread terror using Facebook. They also seized their crayons and action figures as evidence.
The kids were booked under POTA, TADA and some ancient law called the IT Act. Apparently, the "heinous attack" on the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man cannot be tolerated because India - which has never had a friendly neighbourhood - refuses to condone any sort of negative remarks against public figures.
Calling the children a "threat to national security", a senior police official said: "How dare these kids have an opinion on anything. What do they think this is? A democracy?"
Later, a mob of some regional party supporters attacked an ice-cream parlour run by the child's mother. Apparently they were huge Spidey supporters. Besides, they didn't like the parlour's vanilla ice-cream. It was too white.
When a reporter asked the IT minister about the arrests and free speech, he said: "Of course Indians have free speech. It's broadcast from Red Fort on 15th August and is very, very long."
Another minister said: "We can't have people voicing their opinions on netas on Facebook. Next you'll have them linking A Raja to the 2G scam or Suresh Kalmadi to the CWG scam or, horror of horrors, show Madhu Koda and Lalu Prasad as corrupt. This should be nipped in the bud."
Meanwhile, the kids have found massive support by netizens. A number of people posted vague questions on Superheroes to show their support.
One person asked: "Why does Phantom wear a purple leotard in a green jungle?" Another wanted to know the "purpose of the ears in Batman's costume".
Meanwhile, a number of activists have appealed for a moratorium on posting anything sensible on Facebook. If you do have to post anything, use some complicated language. Apparently, the IQ levels of these offended parties are our last line of defence.

This is stupid yet hilarious, amazing parody
