Wired Strongarms Subscribers?

Posted by Zonk on from the better-than-the-jedi-mind-trick dept.

yali writes "Wired has apparently been sinking to some rather low tactics with ex-subscribers. Namely, siccing a collections agency on them. If you let your subscription run out, you might get one of these. Nerds beware." From the article: "First came the usual letters warning McMillan, 36, that his subscription was up and that he wouldn't get any more copies of Wired unless he ponied up some cash. Then Wired's correspondence took a different turn. In May, McMillan received a letter from North Shore Agency, a leading debt-collection firm. The letter, headed 'Please Respond,' said he owed $12 for his Wired subscription."

    I live in Burkina Faso, you insensitive clod!

    No more. God damn. How many times can you recycle the same fucking joke? There have been thousands of articles that have come through this website, and in every single one, morons manage to work in 'Does it run Linux?', '....you insenstiive clod!' and 'IN SOVIET RUSSIA' 'jokes'.

    They were funny the first ten times. They're not funny the millionth time. God damn. Stop. Is your life so pathetic that you can only regurgitate memes from a fucking geek news site? You're worse than the morons who constantly quote Star Trek. Burn in hell, all of you.

    The sick irony is that some motherfucker is going to reply to this comment using all three of those memes somehow.

    There are quite a few gay slashdotters you know, who maybe do not appreciate the obligatory gay joke in the comments of every article.

    What do you call a gay slashdotter?
