Education Via Video Games

An anonymous reader writes "According to Wired/AP, food stamp recipients will now receive video games instead of brochures and pamphlets, in an effort to educate them on how to get the most benefit. One wonders why someone that can't afford food would have spent money on a computer on which to play these games."

I don't understand. Why did you make up an acronym and then Spell It Out? Are you hoping that IDLITUS is going to become a new Slashdot meme whereby all the dirty foreigners start prefacing their replies to stories that are US-centric with this moniker?

(Now, to be sure, I'm in favor of this if it should take off. It's injecting fresh honesty into life; similar to--indeed exactly like--people coming up to you to share their opinions but opening with, "Now, I'm an ignorant fool and I'm full of shit..." So should it spread like wildfire, I will support this new tradition.)

I have the same problem with IANARP (I Am Not A Random Profession)--IANA is perfectly adequate, if you want to make yourself look like a 'Net-centric asshole, or a pre-teen AOL Instant Messenger addict. Simply tag the profession you want to claim to not be at the end, and you've got sentence that is reasonably parseable. But this bastard Frankenstein you've created? As far as I can tell (AFAICT), you tried and failed to make a lick of damn sense.
