The E-Curse For Geeks
The digital age is really, really fascinating.
Greeks fed up with their pesky neighbours, old flames, the government, or society in general can find release in a new Internet site that posts e-curses for free.
“Have you been dumped, harassed or angered? Why not unload with a curse?” offers www.e-katares.com (e-curse.com), which currently has more than 150 entries. Most postings on the site are from jilted lovers but there are also contributions aimed at Greek taxi drivers — a favourite target — banks, the public sector and even Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis.
“May his next pasta meal give him salmonella poisoning,” one user rants against the premier, whose love of food is a popular barb among opposition media. [source]
Taxi drivers? Salmonella? The Prime Minister? Imagine the horror that such a website would unleash in the Arab World? In Jordan!

WOW! it looks Greek
I couldn’t open the site using a URL translator cause they are blocked on our proxy!
I won’t even imagine having similar thing on the Arab world. I think it will end up having fights among the posters and also all curses would be of that heavy-style!!!
if taxi drivers in Greece act a bit like ours in Jordan, i don’t blame the people for blowing off some steam, even if through e-cursing!
Wish they have an English verison
