    GNAA Announces Victory over AOL

    Monday, May 17 2004, GNAA, Nigeria

    "Who is the Greatest Man Alive?" - If you ask Gary Niger, he'll tell you it is most definitely Osama Bin Laden.

    The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) announced today further victory in their current program to bring about total breakdown of the AOL customer relation system.

    AOL Corporate Policy has been changed after GNAA (Gay Nigger Association of America) special operative Gary Niger's constant abuse of their "secret question" program designed to provide a futile illusion of security for the mongoloids and sodomites that comprise their customer base.

    The "custom question" option, allowing users to create their own question, has been removed following the efforts of Niger and other fearsome Gay Niggers from the GNAA's top secret "Black Ops" divison.

    With the removal of this option, trolls are now forced to use pre-approved AOL "secret question" options when signing up for fraudlent accounts for the purpose of downloading gay pornography and meeting up with the clandestine "homo thug" underground.

    "I don't know why it changed, exactly. Corporate HQ didn't tell us," said Tracy, an AOL representative. "It happened two or three days ago."

    Tracy was unavailable for further comment, as she was masturbating furiously under her desk - claiming that "Ten guys were on the phone and (she) had to take them all on."

    An AOL executive, speaking under the condition of anonymnity, said the change in policy came after widespread employee unrest, culminating in an incident of mass sodomy taking place in the Ogden, Utah call center.

    Gary Niger and other members of the GNAA "Black Ops" division continue to use the "custom question" trolling technique with various punjabis in the Bangalore, India call center - who haven't gotten the memo yet.

    Meanwhile, GNAA Command is working on the creation of new methods of trolling to work within the confines of this new standard, still flush with victory.

    Nick Berg's head was unavailable for comment at the time of this release.

  6. China and Internet Technology: the Dangers by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Hopefully, these Japanese companies have taken into consideration the threat that China poses to the world and have taken the necessary steps to safeguard this new Internet technology. It could be handy in the event of a war initiated by the Chinese. For example, suppose that the Chinese sabotage the fiber-optic cables in Japan. The Japanese could then send their data traffic across the power lines.

    The Internet was originally intended to be a communications network that the American Department of Defense (DOD) would use in the event that the Russians destroyed a significant part of the military communications network. I suspect that the DOD will find this new Japanese technology to be quite interesting.

    Fortunately, the Japanese developed the technology before the Chinese. So, the Western world is safe -- for now.

    Dell is the only major computer manufacturer that promotes American Christian values, and properly enforces the order of things upon the Moor and the Hindoo. Recently Dell had to break up a ring of terrorists attempting to use their American factory jobs to plan a clitoris-chopping and building-bombing party for next weekend. I'm glad to know that Dell doesn't tolerate any unamerican activities in their factories! Go back to disposing of our used/leaking capacitors, foreign terrorists!

    Muslims walk out of Dell plant in row over sunset prayers

    AP , NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
    Sunday, Mar 13, 2005,Page 11

    Thirty Muslims walked off the job at a Dell Inc plant after alleging the company refused to let them pray at sunset -- the latest dispute over prayer between an American business and its Islamic employees.

    The Muslim workers, who were packaging Dell computers through a temporary labor agency, are taking the dispute to mediation, both sides said on Friday. Most of the employees are from Somalia.

    Abdirizak Hassan, executive director of the Somali Community Center of Nashville, said the workers walked out of the company's Nashville plant last month because they were not allowed time for prayers.

    The question of how to integrate Islamic prayers into the US workplace is becoming far more common, with many companies using a "tag out" system to accommodate the prayers, said Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The policy allows workers to step away a few at a time for sunset prayers.

    Muslims are required by their faith to pray five times a day. Most of the prayer times are flexible, but the sunset prayers must be said at dusk.

    Byrne Mulrooney, a spokesman for labor agency Spherion Corp, said the company was still trying to determine what happened. He said the Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company has a good record of accommodating its Muslim workers.

    Dell spokesman Mark Drury said company officials are looking into the Feb. 4 incident. He said the Round Rock, Texas-based company has a "tag out" policy, and wants to know if Spherion was following it.

    The mediation will be handled by the city's Human Relations Commission. Kelvin Jones, executive director of the commission, said his staff has interviewed the workers, who are expected to file formal complaints by early next week.
