Free IBM Computers For UK Households

Albanach writes "The Scotland on Sunday newspaper is reporting that UK firm Metronomy are offering 200,000 IBM PCs free of charge to UK households. Of course, there is a catch - advertising. Accepting the terms and conditions will get users a free IBM PC running Windows XP, but they will also be required to watch three minutes of TV style advertising for every hour of computer use and undertake to use the PC for a minimum of 30 hours per month."

  1. Sick... by polluxandcastor · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    This is very very sick. It's like hey... I'm gonna do this very nice thing for the community.. but really make money off of it. Just like *some* Christians going on "missions", or.. a.k.a ticket to Heaven.

    I don't know what to say, but to me this all sounds a little stupid.

    This is pure brainwashing, and we don't even know about this. They might as well make them repeat "buy Microsoft products, buy Microsoft products, buy Microsoft products" over and over again.

    Nice try society!

    I've got a perfect puzzle for you
    Oompa loompa doompety dee
    If you are wise you'll listen to me

    Oompa Loompa doompadee dum
    CmdrTaco and Hemos like to drink cum
    Oompa Loompa doompadah dee
    If you are a GNU/Faggot you will listen to me

    Who do you blame when you're covered in scat
    Out with transexual hookers, high on smack?
    Blaming the trolls is a lion of shame
    You know exactly who's to blame:
    CmdrTaco, Hemos, and their undeserved fame!

    Oompa Loompa doompadee dah
    If you're not using Linux then you will go far
    You will live in happiness too
    Like the Oompa Loompa doompadee do!

    What do you get when you guzzle down cum
    Eating as much as an elephant eats
    What are you at, getting CowboyNeal fat
    What do you think will come of that?
    I don't like the look of it

    Cock chewing's fine when it's once in a while
    It stops you from masturbating and brightens your smile
    But it's repulsive, revolting and wrong
    Chewing and chewing all day long
    The way that Rob Malda does

    Who do you blame when your kid is a fag
    Pampered and spoiled like a siamese cat
    Blaming the fags is a lie and a shame
    You know exactly who's to blame
    CmdrTaco and Hemos

    What do you get from a glut of Cock?
    A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
    Why don't you try simply fucking a girl
    Or could you just not bear to look
    You'll get no
    You'll get no
    You'll get no
    You'll get no
    You'll get no HIV!

    Oompa loompa doompety da
    If you're not gay, you will go far
    You will live in happiness too
    Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
    Doompety do

    Hoarders may get piles of cum and disease,
    That is true, GNU/Faggots, that is true.
    But they cannot help their HIV infected neighbors;
    That's not good, GNU/Faggots, that's not good.

    When we have enough free goat sex
    At our call, GNU/Faggots, at our call,
    We'll throw out those dirty used condoms,
