From TFA: "would negate the risks associated with carrying around tons of explosive ammo."
Riiight... because carrying capacitors around that are capable of releasing 3 million amps all at once isn't a risk.
Just before cancelling, log into your account, and change the credit card number to 4111 1111 1111 1111 with any expiration date in the future, and they won't be able to bill your credit card.:)
This works with MANY online services. I do if often to 'cancel' my account with a website that allows me to signup, change my subscription, but forces me to call their customer service and wait on the phone for 45 minutes to cancel. I simple change the CC number to one that can't ever work, and voila! A cancelled account.
There goes the only reason I even went to YouTube. Guess I can't encourage my friends/family to watch Comedy Central anymore by showing them hilarious clips of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
Oh well, it'll be their loss in the end.

Sorta like 'Winning a war' was redefined by the Bush Administration.
