The True Story of Website Results

Henry V .009 writes: "Salon is running a story on a dot.com called Website Results. Maybe you've heard of them. Viral Spyware makers. My God, these people are sick. Interview question: 'Imagine there's a peasant somewhere halfway across the world. If you could push a button and kill the person without getting caught, would you do it for a million dollars?' 'For them, it was yes, in a heartbeat.'"

    Most Slashdotters would PAY a million dollars if they could do that to Bill Gates.

      All we'd have to do is get someone with no future (Jon Barrett for instance) to plan his murder and get caught, and then kill him in exactly the same fashion after that happens, so no-one would be the wiser.

    Nike MD - There are 20 000 peasant children on the other side of the world - with a single signature you can enslave them until their fingers fall off, then throw them in the sea!

    Walmart MD - But I get some running shoes too right?

    Nike MD - Yeah!

    Walmart MD - Pass the pen!

    who wouldn't? Probably most christians for one (swap christian for sutible religion of choice). And remember: there's a difference between getting caught and getting found out. Sure you may not get chucked in jail, but do you want to run the risk of everyone labelling you a murderer?

    Didn't they do this in Afganistan with their repressive religous practices?

    Didn't Rome do this with Games and Gladiators?

    Didn't Nazi Germany do similar?


    Notice the common theme, these regimes all fell!

    If you are itching to take America down, by all means continue with the moral decay that has been cloaked by capitalism, democracy, and acceptance (rather then tolerance)?

    As a side note, who says that after these 3 morons and criminals that watching you in the pit next wouldn't be more entertaining.

    I also don't think a geek wielding a baseball bat would take out these guys... Thanks for coming out.

    Possible ways to justify it:

    It's a MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS. At 6% interest, that's fucking $60,000 a FUCKING YEAR. Better than a lot of people that I FUCKING KNOW. What more FUCKING JUSTIFICATION DO YOU FUCKING NEED?!?!?!?!?!

    Christ, people have no priorities these days.

  8. Try and kid yourself by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    It does make you a horribly immoral person. You have essentially said that money is more important to you than a human life. Besides which, it also makes you a coward, as you state that you would only particpate if it wasn't you who had to do the killing, and provided there was no chance of you being caught.

    This is what modern western (It seems, in particular, American Capatilism) has given us. A bunch of "Me me me! Mine mine mine!", immoral, money grabbing cowards.

    I hope everyone who has said that they would press the button are all proud of themselves.
