    You know, if you're going to mod something down at least have a clue why you're doing it. This post was fucking hysterical but the moderators are obviously too clueless to understand.

    right up until the mathematician is making a 6figure income and the poet is panhandling.

    You know, you are a real fucking retard. Yeah, we all know it's not a prime number. It wasn't meant to be.

    You are obviously unaware of popular culture or anything going on around you. That post was really fucking funny because of several reasons:

    1. Blink 182 did up the 8675309 song for a Reebok commercial (thus the 182-867-5309).

    2. Reebok claims its salespeople are "Sales Engineers".

    3. There is nothing worse than being hassled with additional sales after shelling $50+ for two pieces of rubber and some cloth that was assembled for 8 cents in a foreign country by someone making less in a month than a fly farm would pay for your daily shit.

    You are not only the biggest dumbass on Slashdot but so are all the moderators that didn't understand the fucking joke. If you do not understand something you do not mod it down. You either learn why you should mod it down or you learn why you should mod it up.

    Either get a fucking clue on how to moderate or take yourself out of the queue of those "available to moderate".

    Don't waste our time and yours.
