Brill's Contentious ID Card

Posted by michael on from the quack-quack dept.

pwackerly writes "The New York Times (illegal kidney sale required) is running a story on a private venture funded by the man behind CourtTV to sell ID cards that let you bypass security, both national (airports) and private (your business's lobby). Outside of the standard national ID concerns, now we'd have to worry about a terrorist stealing our super-secret ID from our wallet. Don't these people learn anything from reading 'Mostly Harmless?'"

    Read it, didn't learn shit (except to avoid events that time travelers have alerted me will occur hence stalling my own demise.)

    Dear Sir Goatsealot,

    You are a lame karma whore. You're not insightful, you're not clever, you're not funny. Your parents hate you. Your siblings talk about you behind your back.

    When you were young aunts and uncles would throw rocks at you. Your parents tried to sell you on the black market. Only Hutterites would take you and then only for your organs. You are a waste of skin. You consume valuable oxygen.

    Please die slowly and painfully.

    Yours truly,

    The Haxalot Fan Club

    Is that because of the subject or because Michael (hope that kidney was worth it) posted it?
