Is this a cleverly crafted Radiohead album launch, a protest, or something else?
Radiohead's internet presence is disappearing. As Reddit users noted, their website slowly decreased in opacity until it went entirely blank. It appears that tweets and Facebook posts from their accounts have been steadily disappearing. Update (5/1, 2:00 p.m. ET): There are no longer any tweets or Facebook posts on the band's accounts. Their profile pictures and cover photos have gone completely blank, as well. This comes one day after fans of the band received mysterious flyers with the words "Sing a song of sixpence that goes/Burn the Witch/We know where you live." It's unclear what it is, but something seems to be happening. Update (5/1, 2:28 p.m. ET): Now, it appears Thom Yorke has deleted his tweets. Update (5/1, 3:18 p.m. ET): Their Google+ page has now gone blank.
In the age of Napster, the band has been forward-thinking, so it could be anything.

Give them credit for a more interesting than shite marketing move (that's right bitches! I just called your pretentious art wanks glorified copy sales men), especially to the rubes that see them as the second coming of the Beatles.
Given their predictableness, see this as their "statement" towards the whole Hilary/Sanders drama in the US (although I admit Hail to the Thief was pretty good); the biggest question is why the fuck does this matter except to /mu/ or hacks like Fantano (love ya Anthony).
"Band Does Something on Internet. Details at Eleven."
Here's a more interesting story to discuss instead:
