Spyware Company Sues Utah Over Anti-Spyware Law

Posted by michael on Tuesday April 13, 2004 @06:53AM from the no-shame dept.

cgibby98 writes "An earlier Slashdot article talks about how web businesses oppose Utah's new spyware law. A story in Tuesday's Deseret Morning News says that WhenU.com filed suit Monday against the state, its governor, and attorney general, trying to keep the law from going into effect next month. The lawsuit claims the law violates WhenU's constitutionally-protected right to advertise."

jesus touched my junk liberally by Anonymous Coward · 2004-04-13 06:56 · Score: -1, Offtopic

he strapped me to his cross and he couldnt keep his offensive hands off of me. he was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told jesus that the church would not approve of the son of god touching an atheist for free.

it doesn't help at all that jesus has been spun out after touching everyone's junk. He can hardly see straight after touching lazarus's diseased junk. How is he possibly going to explain this to the pope when he doesnt save the next soul in distress? They'll make him drop trou in front of the Pharisees again. There it is. Judas Iscariot just called and asked why jesus hasn't been crucified. He has to go.

Damn you! I was going to write a response that had the title "In other news..." and contained something like "X-type company sues over anti-X laws!"

  Okay, for the last time: Everybody read this once...
  There is no "-1 unfunny" mod, so the moderators have pretty universally agreed to use "-1 offtopic" even if it's on topic, when the "joke" is simply NOT FUNNY.

  there is however a -1 overrated, which would be more to the point if you didn't like my humor
  
  "-1 overrated" doesn't subtract karma, it only lowers the score. "-1 offtopic" is needed to ensure that you're encouraged to refine your humor or stop trying.

  If being funny doesn't raise your karma, then why should being unfunny lower it? Works both ways
  Because it still wasted everybody's time.

Next thing you know, India will sue China, for providing even cheaper labor .
If you live by the sward, be prepared to be shot down by the gun.

To the idiot that modded that comment down: You obviously are a capitalist lackey with absolutely no sense of humour. If I see your moderation in M2, I'm certainly marking it as unfair. Because you suck.
