      awww... we can send all the negroes to the moon if you'd prefer? Honestly, given the choice between the moon and a little flood... I'd pick the water anyday. And you KNOW congress would never approve of a spacesuit with a pantyhose stretched over the helmet.

    Oh look - Slashdot is still run by fucking morons who refuse to host content locally. For fuck's sake, these dumb shits must be insane.
    CmdrTaco and the Gang: "Hey guys, let's link to a really big file on someone else's website who doesn't get near the traffic of this site and see what happens! Last time the file almost immediately become unavailable to everyone but I bet something different will happen this time!

    Although, this problem may solve itself soon. As people abandon Slashdot for the crap that it has become [ROT IN HELL ROB MALDA], the "Slashdot effect" may disappear.

  3. Why isn't the GNAA active in New Orleans? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I am quite disappointed by the complete lack of action of the GNAA with respect to the flooding of New Orleans. Where are they when their homosexual negro bretheren require bumsex and fellatio? Why aren't they providing such anal support to their comrades in need?
