AOL and Time Warner - the next Microsoft?

Posted by michael on from the hegemonistic-swarm dept.

plasticquart writes "A recent article by Clifford Smith over at 32bitsonlne.com outlines his theory on the recent spat of Internet-related lawsuits. As he puts it: "What do the lawsuits against everybody in the Known Universe concerning DeCSS, mp3.com, and Napster all have in common?
Time Warner. Let's make that AOL and Time Warner." The article goes on to outline the direct interests of Time Warner and Co. in squelching content distribution (uh, hello - money). Quite an interesting read, indeed. "

  3. Lacy Chabert - the next Natalie Portman? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0
    I don;t give a rat's ass about AOL (a shitty "isp") or Time (a shitty magazine for pinkos & people who can't think). What I do care about are My Rights Online: Lacy Chabert - the next Natalie Portman?

    Yet I come before you to make the bold statement (in bold no less): Lacy Chabert is what Natalie Portman should have been.

    Let's examine the facts, shall we:

    Natalie Portman is from Israel, an exclusively Jewish country illegally created following the Second World War.

    Lacy Chabert is from Mississippi, a well-known cosmopolitian center.

    Natalie Portman has a Jewish nose.

    Lacy Chabert has a hot ass.

    In Star Wars: Episode One (aka The Jar-Jar Binks Story) Natalie Portman plays a princess (ie - monarchy, where not all men/women/jar jars are created equal) who pedophiles an annoying brat who deserves a good ass-whupping

    In Lost In Space, Lacy Chabert plays a bomb-ass hot chick that wears tight plastic catwoman clothes, showing off her tight ass and perky tits.

    In conclusion, I belive all the time and effort attempting to petrify Natalie Portman would be better spent on cloning Lacy Chabert, so we may all bask in her glorious (she's 18, right?) Open Source hiney.

    Thank you. Donations may be made to the Rob Malda Memorial Sperm Bank.
