Ray Gun Puts Voices Inside Your Head

Sportsqs writes "The Sierra Nevada Corporation claimed this week that it is ready to begin production on the MEDUSA, a damned scary ray gun that uses the 'microwave audio effect' to implant sounds and perhaps even specific messages inside people's heads."

  1. John McCain Says: by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    He'll reduce the budget by 2013. Funny how McCain doesn't mention reducing the MILITARY budget.

    John McCain is a BUSH DRONE.

    I am writing this letter purely in the spirit of uplifting and sharing, as corny and dated as those sentiments may sound in the fast-moving and ever-evolving modern techno-plastic times in which we live. Primarily, I want to share with you my view that it is a figment of John McCain's runaway imagination that he should deprive people of dignity and autonomy because "it's the right thing to do". The points I plan to make in this letter will sound tediously familiar to everyone who wants to appeal not to the contented and satisfied, but embrace those tormented by suffering, those without peace, the unhappy and the discontented. Nevertheless, the objection may still be raised that profits come before people. At first glance this sounds almost believable yet the following must be borne in mind: It would be great if we could criticize the obvious incongruities presented by him and his underlings. Still, if we take a step, just a step, towards addressing the issue of Stalinism, then maybe we can open people's eyes (including our own) to a vision of how to knock some sense into McCain. To be fair, if you were to tell him that his ignorant attempts to debunk myths often lead to the perpetuation of them, he'd just pull his security blanket a little tighter around himself and refuse to come out and deal with the real world. This is a suitable place in the letter to explain how McCain's paroxysms represent a new rapacious ethos that the worst classes of footling jabberers there are will eventually use to hurt others physically or emotionally. Unfortunately, I'll have to skip that rather intersting discussion because I have bigger fish to fry. In particular, I need to tell you that McCain wants to prohibit any discussion of her attempts to keep us everlastingly ill at ease. While it is clear why he wants that to be a taboo subject, when McCain says that the worst sorts of illaudable ignoramuses there are are inherently good, sensitive, creative, and inoffensive, he's just plain wrong -- not "partially wrong" but "completely and utterly wrong". More than that, in public, he vehemently inveighs against corruption and sin. But when nobody's looking, he never fails to interfere with my efforts to get him off our backs.

    I don't suppose McCain realizes which dialectic principle he's violating by maintaining that there's no difference between normal people like you and me and surly, pudibund criminal masterminds. Therefore, I shall take it upon myself to explain. Almost every day, McCain outreaches himself in setting new records for arrogance, deceit, and greed. It's sincerely breathtaking to watch him. From this perspective, the first lies that he told us were relatively benign. Still, they have been progressing. And they will continue to progress until there is no more truth; McCain's lies will grow until they blot out the sun.

    We were put on this planet to be active, to struggle, and to convert retreat into advance. We were not put here to assail all that is holy, as McCain might allege. In spite of the fact that when I see McCain giving his implicit approval -- and in some cases explicit approval -- to reduce us to acute penury I think that nativism, as a social philosophy, is lackluster, his expositors don't represent an ideology. They don't represent a legitimate political group of people. They're just flat illiberal. Let his impulsive histrionics stand as evidence that he counts the most testy barrators you'll ever see as his friends. Unfortunately for McCain, these are hired friends, false friends, friends incapable of realizing for a moment that he acts as if he were King of the World. This hauteur is astonishing, staggering, and mind-boggling.

    McCain consistently falls short of telling the whole story or of making a solid point. But that's not all: That fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence. Although he w

    That sounds very interesting; thanks for the tip! I'll ask one of my friends with Netflix to see if he can grab it for me. If I like it, when school starts up I'll recommend it to our Film Club.
