You've Got Indictments

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-could-go-wrong dept.

Lam1969 writes "Reuters reports that South Korean prosecutors have started a program to start sending indictment notices via SMS. The program was started partly because of the high penetration of mobile phones among the South Korean population (75%, according to the article), and also because prosecutors want to save money by cutting back on paper mailings. One potential hitch in the program: You have to apply to the service in order to receive your indictment electronically."

    All right, let's get the fucking "e-mail is for old people" jokes out of the way.

    See, this is funny because:
    1. It is on Slashdot
    2. It recycles an old joke.
    3. It is cynical.
    4. "Cynicle" is spelled wrong.
    5. Someone else has already written approximately the same thing.
    6. I made a list of why it is funny.
    7. I've included the ;), lol, j/k, and other markers. :P
    8. Someone has already thought about writing about how cynical is not spelled incorrectly above.
    9. It is ironic.
    10. I unnecessarily bring up the subject, defeating my goal of not having it mentioned in the first place.
    11. All articles about South Korea need to have the comments mention the e-mail remarks from months ago.

    Damn am I jaded.
