Website Sells Pubic Lice
A British website called crabrevenge.com will help you prove that there is literally nothing you can't find online by selling you pubic lice. A disclaimer on the site says the creators "do not endorse giving people lice," and the lice are for "novelty purposes only." The company also boasts about a facility "where we do all of our parasite husbandry and carefully considered selective breeding." Three different packages are available: "Green package - One colony that can lay as many as 30 eggs for about $20. Blue package - Three colonies to share with your friends or freeze a batch or two for about $35. Red package - A vial of 'shampoo-resistant F-strain crabs' which can take up to two weeks to kill for about $52."
They are breeding resistant strains of lice. Does this count as parasite warfare?
I'm not the pope, but I'm going to have to put "intentionally giving people crabs" in the unethical column.
But fun and rewarding? Totally different column.
Mod me down, my New Earth Global Warmingist friends!
I'll stick to the old way of getting crabs.
Hookers.
Agreed: It's a lousy story.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.

Wow...just.... wow..
Regulations. Laws. Common sense. Morality. A clue. The ability to live with being a hypocrite.
All of the things that "laissez-faire" economics usually figures the market will resolve for itself, and yet is completely incapable of fixing -- because it assumes benign, rational humans who make good choices, and an underlying mechanism where things like murder for hire, arms dealers, bioterrorists, and asshats can't happen. It totally ignores human nature, and the fact that people aren't always nice, and don't always give a shit about the welfare of others.
This is the logical result of laissez-faire capitalism -- basically, anarchy. Only in anarchy, someone's ability to hunt you down and kill you regulates the system. As soon as you have any concept of law, to not think you need to apply that to your economic system is just plain stupid. Because someone is going to try to fuck someone else over.
You simply can't be a strict laisez-faire guy and believe that you have any right to shut this kind of thing down -- well, I guess you could hire someone to kill them, but that might be a little extreme.
Everyone likes to think this so called "free market" is inherently moral and will arrive at "good" and "just" decisions, when in fact, it's inherently amoral. It doesn't give a shit -- if people are willing to pay for it, it must be inherently good.

Gah. I do not get this at all.
I can dig a little grooming, but what is the point of mimicking prepubescent hair growth patterns?
"Trimming the bush makes the tree look taller." -- Richard Simmons
Shave on one side. Douse the other side with lighter fluid. Light the fluid and stab the crabs with a tooth pick when they run to the other side.
Discussion of female grooming habits is one thing, but there are too many comments here from dudes about their own "manscaping". If Slashdot is going to have an "Informative" tag which mods posts up... then there should also be a "Too Much Informative" tag which mods posts down.

Since when is the Pope an authority on ethics?
I'm tellin' ya, this country it going to hell in a handbasket. Buying crabs? Sheesh. In my day we got our crabs for free at a Grateful Dead show.
Now, get off my lawn.
This ain't rocket surgery.
Holy shit! You mean, that wasn't a "to do" list?
