It is just plain wrong for them to use the legal system in such a malicious manner. Isn't this (or shouldn't this be) against the law? If I were a judge, and heard someone making a statement like this about a lawsuit they're filing, I'd throw it right out of court.
If they really believe that movies, games, porn, etc. can warp people's minds to that extent, I feel sorry for their misguided attitude. I feel sorry for the loss of their children. But if this is just some way for them to lash out in anger over said deaths (or a way to make some cash off of it), I have no sympathy whatsoever.
They filed suit against several teachers, administrators, and students at the school, but a judge threw that out. They've (of course) appealed that already....
now we get to/. the US Postal Service, too! Is there any transport medium we can't grind to a screeching halt? 'course, the USPS isn't exactly known for its blazing speed in the first place. if this spreads much farther, we're in big trouble - just think of what the/. effect could do to lines at the DMV...
hmmm.... The timing of these incidents seems a little too coincidental. "If it wasn't for those GUID's secretly embedded in MS Office documents, we may have never tracked down this evil perpertrator", says Joe Researcher, on his way to the bank to cash in his check from billg. "Thank goodness for GUID's!"
or maybe i've had too much coffee this morning - my paranoia settings could need some recalibration.

Now this is just silly...I've looked at that soundtrack, and Judas Priest doesn't appear on it anywhere.
prehensile.com has mirrored the "Simply Porn" ads, and serendipitously enough, is the site where the whole "Meat of the Loom" business was started.
