Heya guys,
Well, I'll get straight to the point. The RIAA is evil, everyone knows it. People think Microsoft is evil... well here's news for you, microsoft hasn't yet gone after a consumer for any licensing issues. Of course, they make that back organizing the buisiness software alliance which is really just a team of lawyers that go after buisnesses for disregarding those forgettable EULA agreements. So back to my point. Since EVERYONE knows the RIAA isn't looking after anyone's well being but they're own... how come a world in discord hasn't stopped buying records? Why haven't the artists wised up and started to deliver their content themselves? I mean, there has to be a way to circuimvent the RIAA... if there's not, that's basically saying old men and their money control the world. senile geriatric control, like depends. Now that's getting messy.

I saw this guy talking on TV the other day. He said that for only $59.95 I could be on my way to financial independence. That my success would be guaranteed. To them, guaranteed means they'll give you your $59.95 back after they get about $1000 of work from you. To me guaranteed means if I'm not financially independent by the time I'm done, they owe me a couple hundred grand. Semantics are hard to get past sometimes. Marketing reps are the most destructive people in the world. They took JavaScript and changed it from a cool web tool and changed it into a pop-up making monster. Marketers always want you to have to opt-out of stuff... instead of opt-in. My work has a marketing department... they're called Public Relations. They are constantly thinking up the most invasive ways of forcing their information on their clients. I always thought back in time.. to try to think of who the first marketers were. A lot is lost in history, but I'll bet the lost paintings on the sides of the pyramids were just huge alcoholic beverage ads. If they found a better way to preserve their papyrus I'm sure you'd see tons of ancient egyptions smut too. People suck.. except you... well.. only if you agree with me and read this far... or you're chris or jackie.

Again and again I've realised that the root of all evil is the Sony Corporation. Have you heard of Key2Audio? If you haven't... chances are you haven't seen it yet. It's a method of copy-protecting a music CD... by disabling its ability to be read on a PC or Macintosh. A certain configuration of Macintosh (one without a manual CD-release) has caused many people to have to send their Mac in to be dissassembled to remove the CD, all because of a Key2Audio protected Celine Dion CD. Only Sony would push their MiniDisc... which requires a PC with a CD-writer to "rip" songs and carry them with you... and simultaneously prevent CD's from being read by the device required to use the minidisc. Sony is evil. People should avoid buying things from them at all cost. Their equipment is inferior, more expensive and usually void of features unless you buy the most expensive model. So I'm going to start dedicating an entire site to sony... details to come!

The whole world can sleep safer tonight knowing that Martha Stewart's rampage of selling off a few shares of crap stock at almost too-perfect timing has been stopped. I gasped in horror the day I found out about it... I thought... imagine all the poor people's family's! The information from the day just came hurling at me.. it was happening too fast. 1...2... 300... 600... 15000, 30000, $45000 she ended up making... forty-five thousand dollars. I felt a personal need to persue this unthinkable crime to the end.
"How could this happen?", I kept thinking. I was beside myself, I just kept thinking that I could have stopped it... I saw her pots attractively prices at the K-mart... I could have said no. But I was an enabler. It has all come to a pass now, her corporate terrorism will never be able to hurt another innocent person again! We went after Osama... he got away... we went after Saddam... he got away... but Martha.. we caught her! the 3rd most dangerous person in the world. I like to call her "'Chemical' Martha Stewart". I printed a deck of cards, the Queens all had her face on them and handed them out to authorities, and warned them that she may be disguised. i hear the capture was rough... I believe it took a couple phone calls... maybe a letter in the mail... it could have also happened electronically. we may never know the details of the capture of 'Chemical' Martha Stewart, but I'll sleep better at night knowing I'm safe from her inside trades.
