Take your viagra scented emails,
all your sexually explicit
tastes, the vision of all
those sums of money from all
Those nigerian bankers, they call out
at once,
a cantankerous wail
that sends me over the
edge of the firewall and ... I get stuck in a tube sometimes.
Because it's not a truck.
Because five hundred
miles of submarine cable is equal to a puddle
of spit when it's severed. Much less
five of em.
Because spying on email is much
more satisfying than voice.
Because apparently voice rec
isn't any better
than ten years ago, whereas
email
is just
text.
(And comparitively only barely encrypted.)
Did you know sha-1
was cracked in the 90s?
Would you care if you
knew what sha-1 was? Would you
mind being any less of a tool? And
stop chewing your cud at the
screen. It's in poor taste. Just sip
your coffee
like the rest of us trolling etsy. And while you
craigslist your new fling
of the week, i'll be stuffing my brain
full of fcc filings and try to
get us out of existence by being paradoxic.
(worked for adams. He's with the dolphins now, somewhere, somewhen, somehow.)
I'm looking for a little collective consciousness so
i can get the same idea
and just torrent the blueprints.
Wouldn't that be easier than
building a new porn policy? Or stripping the latest
drm off blue colored media?
Or wait. What if this
entire charade was rated m for mature ... Would it
be taken any less seriously? I mean, grand theft
auto is rated M, and as we all know, if you
play that game you must be a crack-addled
terrorist with nothing better to do in
your spare time than to play a degenerate computer
simulation of killing hookers and stealing cars.
(Now that i think of it, doesn't sound like a bad LARP if you could just get the dice rolls to stick to the whore's ass.)
And what if i told you that this entire facade we called the internet is
nothing more than a program
run by IBM, who
wants nothing more
than to steal every published idea and filter it
down the pipe to its
lowest common
denominator
;
and then commoditize
it ...
(get your very own ibm brainstorming book
from amazon, only 29.95
plus shipping
and handling. You too can purchase other
people's ideas for fun and
profit. Now go forth
and be civilzed. that's on page 246.)
