  This is what I'm expecting next in the news:
  
  "RIAA TO BEING WHIPPING CHILDREN"
  
  In a statement released by Riaa president Slain Brosko
  
  "After unsuccessfully using price gouging, poor music quality and then obnoxious lawsuits to drive our customers from the stores, the little bastards are still trying to buy CDs! We figure after we whip a few dozen children, they'll all learn to stay home and just download content that's being shared from other countries. Though on that front we've just heard from Donald Rumsfield that he'll loan us a couple stealth bombers to take out those little bastards too!" The president then burst into some manical laughter for a few minutes before eating a wriggling frog from jar and pulling a lever that dropped a rather cute dancing girl into the jaws of a Rancor.

  Imagine you're living in a 10,000 sq. ft. mansion with 2 butlers, a cook, and a 26 year old supermodel wife.
  
  Leave me out of this, OK? I value my privacy and don't like being used in examples.

  I'll have you know that she has retired from modeling, and is now a full time aerobics instructor.
  I also prefer to spin around in my Ford Focus. It's easier to park, the kid usually beats me to the Porsche anyway, and it gives the folks I lay off less ammunition to call me a money grubbing SOB.
  And for the record I don't use Kazaa, I use the Darwin port of Gnuetella on my Ti-Book. Just for the hard to get titles I can't find on Amazon. Hell, some Grateful dead dubs are ONLY available on the net.

see, downloading files is just a gateway crime... by the time this girl is 17, she'll be knocking off liquor stores, and in her early 20's she'll be doing banks!

nip it in the bud!

She's stealing music. She deserves everyting she gets. She should be tried as an adult and the death penalty shuld not be ruled out.

If the piracy continues the recording industry may we wiped out, then would would all those poor executives do? The can't all join SCO.

This would be laugh out loud hilarious if it weren't so horribly tragic...
And in further news, the RIAA and SCO have teamed up to kick a 6 year old's puppy. Film at 11!

The sizes may be different, but I think the mentalities of the RIAA and the 12 year old girl are probably pretty close
Set up? by Cap'n+Canuck · 2003-09-09 02:08 · Score: 5, Funny

Super move RIAA: attack children. This will certainly endear you to the masses.

It's almost as though it was a setup. The only thing that was missing was the fact that she wasn't in a wheelchair.

  The only thing missing is that it was on FOX instead of The Onion.
