  1. Re:Biggest "accessibility mogul" on Site Review: 2002 Olympics · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean that IMC reporters are barred? They gave the best coverage of many modern events

    The forces of oppression were out in full force today as the global power elite, represented by an "impartial" panel of judges, handed the medal in figure skating to corporate-owned Michelle Kwan, in the process brutally oppressing Lithuanian Margarita Drobiazko.

    Following the requisite praise from the lackeys of the corporate media, Kwan proceeded to the locker room area where she presumably licked the boots of her corporate masters. Kwan is rumored to be owned by General Mills, and will soon become a shill for their product "Wheaties"; as we have reported before, each Wheaties flake is handmade in a factory in Bangladesh by three year old children who work 22 hours per day with no breaks, are paid $.05 per month, and most of whom starve on the way home from the factory each night.

    This is not Ms. Drobiazko's first experience with oppression at the hands of multinational corporations, as she was formerly employed at a quaint coffee house in Vilnius which was crushed last year under the oppressive heel of Starbucks.

    "Didn't you say the neighbors had a copy of this on DVD?"

    "Yes, but they only purchased two viewing licenses. It'll cost us $5.00 each to purchase temporary viewing licenses to watch the movie with them tonight. Still, it is easier - we can just swipe our credit card through the MPAA-Enabled TV (the only type you can buy nowadays) to buy the licenses."

    "Well can't we just borrow the DVD?"

    "Honey! Are you nuts! President Valenti declared that a federal crime last week, punishable by 10 years in prison."

    Fortunately, the couple's 10 year old son, who had just completed his school's mandatory "Sharing is Un-American" program, overheard this conversation. Following the instructions he memorized during the program, he immediately contacted the proper authorities. The next day, friendly agents of the MPAA arrived to escort his mother to the nearest 'Happy Camp', for her own good and for the good of America. She completed the re-education program within a year, and is now a productive, dues-paying, consuming member of society.

  3. Unethical on Fight Virus With Virus? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it's possible, but it's still not ethical to go in and change people's systems without their knowledge or consent, even if you're "helping" them.
