LaserMonks Offer Prayer, Printer Cartridges

Posted by simoniker on from the unknown-if-monks-are-electric dept.

Minnesotan writes "According to a Twincities.com article: If you need discounted inkjet- or laser-printer cartridges, Wisconsin's LaserMonks say they'll give you a doozy of a deal while you 'support prayer for the world'. The Cistercian priests - yes, they're actual Catholic monks - oversee a novel e-commerce enterprise out of their rural abbey. Proceeds go to maintain the monastery and finance charitable works around the world."

    Refilling your Lexmark cartridge isn't just a DMCA violation -- it's a sin!

    Looking over the page's source, it looks like they borrowed a lot of their JavaScript. Talk about copying scripture...

    It would take a real jerk to sue them for DMCA violations

    A DMCA suit then appears inevitable.

    Only if you get modded up for joking about it.

    Could be worse. They might be Shaolin monks, in which case Taco's going to get seven kinds of stuff kicked out of him for putting their bandwidth bill into the stratosphere.

    Welcome our new monk overlords, well actually they kinda are if they talk to god and all.

    In my prayers tonight: "God, give me strength to put up with my job to take care of my Fiance..."
    God: "I can do that for you, but buy some new toner for your HP Laserjet 1100 for only $50 at http://www.lasermonks.com and you'll get a raise and your Fiance will love you forever..."
