It's not a case of people not wanting to see it. It is Haram (sinful) to depict the Prophet Muhammed and, seeing as Pakistan is an Islamic Nation, it is only right that would ban facebook for that day. If anything, I think this is a complete underreaction because it is inadvertedly disrespecting and mocking their religion.
How is it right to put your fingers in your ears and go "NAH-NAH-NAH-NAH-NAH-NAAHHH, I'M NOT LISTENING!" when someone says something you don't like? I mean it's better than "I will kill you for saying that" but it's still pants-on-head retarded.
