Are We Even Thinking???

by Slack, on August 15th, 2002

This world and it’s ever-mind-numbing populace never cease to amaze me. Is it something in the water? Perhaps it is an airborne contaminate? Everytime I turn around I see another example of why all the intelligent life in the universe doesn’t stay long on this planet. You’d think after all the testing and probing they’ve done, they’d be able to find intelligence somewhere on this planet….

Anyway, today I receive this email from McAfee – the virus killer people… Well, the email states, “Tired of spam email? Of course you are! Award winning McAfee.com Spamkiller! Save $10! Buy Now!” Ok, let’s pause to absorb this……….

At the bottom of the email it says, “You received this message because you have agreed to accept offers from HomeSavingsPlace.com or one of our carefully selected marketing partners. If you believe this message was sent in error, or if you would no longer like to receive email from HomeSavingsPlace.com, please send a blank email to remove@offers.homesavingsplace.com.

::SIGH::

Hey Allen…long time no see :)

After reading your entries on stupidty, it reminded me of a quote over at http://www.bash.org (if you have some time, go browse this site. Some hilarious IRC quotes there.) Anyhow, it went like so…

“The problem with America is stupidity. I’m not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don’t we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

seem’s resonable to me ;)

take care!
