This is insane. You people are all insane.
Simply stated, using any drug for recreational purposes may have negative side effects.
The United State of Arm-ChairiKKKuh seems to rely on an individualist mentality for enforcement of responsible drug use. (IE, BANG! BANG!! NOW YER IN GaOiLL!!!)
I prefer to see a country with support mechanisms available to those that want and/or need 'em. ArmChair-ica still hasn't accepted that some people get a bit beyond their ability to control or regulate their own intake. The method to the madness is punishment, rather than help.
Extreme addiction is an affliction of sorts, rather than a punishable crime. Wanna further alienate the addictive personality?? Persecute it. Way to Go. Clap, Clap.. Christ, d00d, you're in one of our sister (ex?) common-wealth countries. YOU sound like yer from armchair-ica.
This is ludicrous. Absolutely nuts. I fully expect that this WIPO, whoever they really are, will be slapped about by popular consensus once this hits a little more close to home.. for most common folk.
I've been a slashdot lurker for about three months. I instantly registered so I could post this.
Barbaric naziism such as this is absolutely unacceptable on *MY* internet. I will never endorse such insane legal babbling. Fuck the Police, etc..
This is likely not the first such I-Property incident, but WTF?!, this is insane.. Obviously the DNS names registered do *NOT* have anything to do with the stout in question.
Hell - I drink on average more than one pint per day of the dark, wonderful beverage. This is absolutely inexcusable. Perhaps it is time for me to vote with my $$s and give up my daily brew. Guinness marketing has been revolunary and very penetrable within north america for the past 4-5 years, in my opinion.
Get the marketing department a head-check and let us happy consumers consume. Stop stuffing it down our throats via the WIPO!
