Google Plans To Destroy Unindexed Information
linolium writes "Executives at Google, the rapidly growing online-search company that promises to 'organize the world's information,' announced Monday the latest step in their expansion effort: a far-reaching plan to destroy all the information it is unable to index. 'Book burning is just the beginning," said Google co-founder Larry Page. 'This fall, we'll unveil Google Sound, which will record and index all the noise on Earth. Is your baby sleeping soundly? Does your high-school sweetheart still talk about you? Google will have the answers.'" FYI; it's The Onion, so yes, it's a joke.
Is this really worth a top post on Slashdot, that The Onion wrote a funny piece? It's sort of their standard fare - in fact, I'm beginning to feel like The Onion is doing a better job at putting togethe rinteresting articles than slashdot is.

What do these have in common? Corporate cheer-leading, perhaps?I want news, not ads for nerds.
Come on, the best way to ruin a joke completely is to say "HEY GUYS, THIS IS FUNNY! HAHAHA!" A tongue-in-cheek like this needs to be presented deadpan as Zonk did. The actual comic value of the joke itself is another matter, of course.
