Exxon's Brute Squad Hacks the Yes Men

tom_evil notes a story up on Infoshop.org about a parody site and the lack of a sense of humor in a large multinational. "One day after the Yes Men made a joke announcement of ExxonMobil's plans to turn billions of climate-change victims into a brand-new fuel called Vivoleum, the Yes Men's upstream internet service provider shut down Vivoleum.com and cut off the Yes Men's email service, in reaction to a complaint whose source they will not identify. 'Since parody is protected under US law, Exxon must think that people seeing the site will think Vivoleum's a real Exxon product, not just a parody,' said Yes Man Mike Bonanno. Exxon's policies do already contribute to 150,000 climate-change related deaths each year,' added Yes Man Andy Bichlbaum. 'So maybe it really is credible. What a resource!'"

    Yes, Exxon Mobil is a big bad boogeyman to leftists, but why does this mean it's news for nerds? I love how stories relating to big bad, evil corporations that have no tech connection get posted.

    kdawson is the biggest troll on slashdot. Please take your liberal rantings to daily kos.

    America's Urban Black Population Falls Dramatically
    As Many As One Tenth Of Black Population Dead Over Past Five Years

    Washington, DC -- A new report, cited in the Economist magazine, indicates America's black population has fallen dramatically over the past five years, despite Census bureau estimates and demographic doomsayers' prediction of growth that would overwhelm whites.

    In America's three largest cities -- New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago -- black populations dropped by one tenth due to the cumulative effects of murder and disease.

    Discussing "the disappearance of blacks", the Economist writes, "Roughly half of America's murder victims and about the same proportion of suspected murderers are black. In five years America's three biggest cities lost almost a tenth of their black residents ..."

    One tenth of America's black population -- over 3.8 million Negroes -- lived in those three cities, and the disappearance of 380,000 of them due to AIDS, murder and other causes represents a one percent decline in America's overall black population.

    The trend is similar to that in Africa, where nations such as South Africa have seen AIDS and crime cause their national population to begin falling at a rate of one half to one percent a year, and where acts of war and genocide -- Negro crime taken to an exponential level -- have destroyed a tenth or more of the population of central African nations every several years.

    The "Health and climate scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison" say so, so it must be true. Heaven knows that UW Madison isn't as left-wing, America-hating, and socialist as a university can get. Oh wait, maybe it is...

    Oh well, this is slashdot, so the cultists modded you down for not subscribing to the hive mentality.

    yep, that's about it. ever notice that stats like that are nice round numbers. if they had actual facts, wouldn't the figure be 150,001, not a neat 150,000? oh thats because they don't really know THEY ARE JUST MAKING SHIT UP.
