O'Reilly Interview with the Plone Founders

Alexander Limi writes "Just in time for some light weekend reading, O'Reilly's OSDir.com has published a byte-sized interview with the two founders of Plone. This is a nice follow-up to the earlier discussion on Slashdot, and covers a lot of the unanswered questions people directed to us earlier as the surprise winners of the O'Reilly COMDEX competition."

    THE BLACK MENACE
    In the past few decades, blacks have purposefully ostracized themselves, embracing Islam and giving their children pseudo-African names like "Jamal", "Shaniqua" and "LaTasha". They have formed anti-white hate groups and fabricated a culture for themselves. Thus, when they complain of persecution it is reminscent of college girls who get drunk around frat boys and are surprised when they wake up sore 'down there'.

    The subject of whether or not blacks deserve their brazen reputation is one that few sociologists have had the courage to examine objectively. Statistics indicate that blacks are naturally prone to commiting crimes. Those who blame this on racism haven't looked at the success of Asian-Americans in this country and the fact that the descendents of the reviled Irish and East Europeon immigrants who are arrived at the turn-of-the-century are virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the population.

    Black people are smelly and disgusting in addition to being materialistic. They waste all their money on flashy cellphones and cars in order to project an illusion of wealth. To make matters worse, they allow their children(which they have many of because most black men are serial fathers) to go hungry so they can buy the latest Tommy Hilfiger or Fubu clothing.

    One has to wonder why Africa has always been such a hellhole while nations with far fewer natural resources have built great empires. Blaming Africa's retarded developement on Europeans is also futile, as they certain weren't thriving nations when European colonialism began. It couldn't be because blacks are inferior, could it?

    Plone is a product with a name so strange it's obviously an IT product aimed at:

    a) getting good Google results
    b) having its own domain name
    c) making you look stupid when saying it loud

    Ironically, Plone fails on point a) because Google doesn't seem to really deliver the goods on it. It fails on b) because Steve Plone got their first. And it fails on c) because when you say 'plone', people will respond by going 'pardon?'

    My conclusion is that Plone is nothing. If it was something they'd have the .com and Google would be like "Hell yeah, it's like Plone man!!". If Plone is something, then it probably shouldn't be called Plone.

    Simple.
