A New Meaning For Geotargeting At Monster.com

Duke submits a link to this New York Times story, according to which "it seems that Monster.com has taken the U.S. government's policy of sanctions against certain countries and run with it where no man has gone before. Monster 'has deleted resumes that list current addresses in those countries.' and more fun stuff. If you haven't had the opportunity for a really self-rightous post in a while, Monster.com has made it simple for you." Update: 04/28 01:34 GMT by T : Note that the New York Times ran the story, but like many other newspaper stories, the real credit goes to the Associated Press.

    Are you really the President? That would be pretty cool if GWB posted on Slashdot.

    Clearly that says: "SEE, YOU! 'EM BE OX! FIRE!"

    He's telling you: "WATCH OUT, YOU! Those large animals are dangerous! Draw your weapon and SHOOT!"

    The message is clear. The "large animals" represent the terrorist threat from middle-east nations. (The "OX" or beast of burden is clearly a reference to the primitive lives lead by many in the Middle East).

    The admonishment to "shoot" is a sign that we must use our overwhelming force (as a man with a gun vs. an ox) to put down these countries, before they use their sheer mass (large populations) against us.

    Make no mistake: Jesus is telling you (and us as a nation) that we must CONQUER and DESTROY the threat, we must create a great crusade against the EVIL that is someday going to come charging our way.

    I guess you're not used to secret messages from Jesus delivered to you via your computer's entropy device file. That's okay, surprised me the first time too.

    Glad to see the New York Times have their spellcheckers working correctly.

    Another way to deal with the problem is to BOMB THE FUCK OUT OF THEM. Put the fear of God and Jesus in the heart of those heathens, and they'll leave us alone.

    Dear Mr President,
    If I mod you up, will you find me a nice job in the DC area?

    (p.s. since I just posted to this discussion, I can't mod it any more.)

    It can't possibly be him. All the words are spelled correctly.

    Not to stray too far off topic here, but since when has any story submission not prevented people at Slashdot from making a self-rightous post? ;-)

    Greetings Brother deadsaijinx:

    You probably know me, I'm Attorney John Ashcroft.

    I was browsing Slashdot this morning and stumbled upon your wonderfully written, and highly objective post. I'm hoping, my dear friend, that you would contact me. You seem to have the right attitude for helping my colleagues and I with our pursuit of Total Information Awareness.

    Just five minutes ago I spoke with Condoleezza and she agreed you have what it takes: absolute submission to authority and belief in the morality of bureaucracy, regardless of any thought or self-reasoning. After 9/11 this is preciously the people we've been looking for, and I'm hoping you can join our team, including such members as Colin Powel, Donald Rumsfield, and Dick, or as we nickname him around the office "Killa" Cheney.

    Waiting to hear from you!

    Sincerely,
    John

    PS: Colin and Condy asked if I could post a help wanted ad too. They're looking for a person to bring them tea, as well as coffee, and clean up the offices. Preferably the person to fill this position should be black, and willing to be referred to as "boy" on numerous occasions.

    No she won't, if it was a public place than anyone is allowed in. But it is a private buisiness, she can say that black people aren't allowed in and that's fine.
