“Listen, son, we need to have a talk. This isn’t going to be easy for either of us. You are not my son. I’m sorry, I know this will come as a blow to you. But the fact is, no son of mine plays Oregon Trail like you do.”

Simply brilliant.

The mobile phone industry, kings of blatant consumer rape.  Sure, we all know the perilous traps of Early Termination, suspect “fees”,  mysterious “charges”, and horrendous customer service, but the real hot poker in the eye is the wild and wacky world of Text Messages.  Wired does a nice job of breaking down the costs to the carrier ($0) and the vile micro-transaction model that rakes in the cash for carriers.

Oh, crazy fundamentalists and their insane world views.  Funny to read about, terrifying in person.   Enjoy the insanity from a safe distance kids.

I am a born again Christian. Why is this a problem for people????! I have a house that’s MINE and I PAID FOR IT. I also have a basement apartment for rent. It’s a great space for I’m charing very little for it, $480 monthly, for the right tenant. I know it’s ILLEGAL to require a Christian in the apartment, against the human rights. That’s why I NEVER put this in my ad. Why then does it keep getting taken down?
