    If you didn't read the summary, the problem here is *not* on what is being sent to our hypothetical overlords, but the fact that they need a sponsored multi light years Ad to make a fund raising.

  10. Re:A related and important question on Do Tiny URL Services Weaken Net Architecture? · · Score: 1
    I know this is going far away from topic, but here we go:

    In this case, I agree with the GP. Uninformed idiots are going to think this stuff is real, then they're going to go around spewing, "You know what the Republicans think? Get this!" And all the sudden a lot of ignorant people are voting based on satire that went above their head. The author may have a right to do it, but that doesn't make it right nor in the best interest of the country.
    Wait... If in your country there are people sufficiently ignorant to see this type of satire on Intertubes(tm) without getting the joke, the problem isn't posting it...

    Even if you are correct (and personally, I agree with your POV) the laws are made by and/or for businessmen profit in the vast majority of the cases.
