Cablegate, the Game

Posted by timothy on from the just-a-hopeless-semantic dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Cablegate: The Game is a game where players can read, tag and summarize the recently released US Embassy Cables. Points are awarded for finding the most tags in a cable." I wish this game were extended to more news sources generally — automated scans are nice, but can't (yet) make all the connections humans can.

    IF you play this game the CIA will record your IP and sexy left leaning Swedish intellectual feminists will pick you up in the bar for drinks then invite you to their house, let you have sex with them, cook you breakfast, and then accuse you rape a month later.

    They'll put out international 'red notices' for your arrest; Pursue you across international boundaries, and spread insidious false rumours of your poor performance in bed.

    Actually, I'm getting rather tired of the bias slashdot editors have shown for wikileaks.

    For those of us who do have to worry about clearances sticking a god damned link straight to the applet in the article is a bit too much. I'm fairly used to the lazy or awful links which are three sites away from the actual source. They finally get it right on the one material I don't to go anywhere near.

    It's just too much for me and if the point was to alienate those on the other side then job well done. Too bad I was actually a slashdot supporter and funded this horseshit. Thankfully everyone has choices and can choose where to provide support. For instance, I no longer choose to support this website and consequently I will not be renewing my subscription.
