More Ignorance
I HATE STUPIDITY.
I was enraged when I read the following bulletin that was posted on Myspace. How ignorant can people be? Read this nonsense:
Subject: Under age users
Hi Folks,
As you may have noticed, many myspaces have been deleted. This is due to the underage users that abuse the privileges of myspace. I understand that there are many memories from myspace that are irreplaceable so i lowered the age to 14. Please pass this on because we have attached a !!special tracking device!!. If you repost this, you will be safe from being deleted. If you don’t repost this, you will be tracked and your myspace will be searched throughly for underage users. Repost this message saying “Underage Users”. Thank youMyspace Creator,
Tom
First of all, some moron writes something claiming to be Tom and everyone believes it. This is why phishing is so successful – people believe everything and give away their info. First of all, explain to me how can a !!special tracking device!! can be attached to a stupid website? There’s no such thing as a special tracking device. Even if there was one, how would it get your age? The only way people get their myspaces deleted are by RATS that report them. Otherwise, they don’t know if you’re 12, 18 or a 59 year old pedophile. Secondly, whats with the special !!exclamation points before and after!! the word tracking device? I don’t know what language you speak, but in English, one exclamation point goes after the sentence. But I’m sure that in dumbass-lish, it probably translates to “ZOMG this needs to lyk stand out. lyk OMGZs its lik 1300% true iffff notytt I’ll lyk dyyyyyEEEE” (Yeah that wasn’t supposed to make sense).
Anyway this rant is a follow up to my chain letter rant, because nothing pisses me off more than ignorant people who fall for internet rumors and keep reposting chain letters. Maybe if I got this once I’d let it slide, but when 30 people repost the same thing, it shows me that morons really believe that it’s true. The U.S. really need to make a law that bans these morons from the internet.
I hate Myspace. It’s corrupting people.
Ignorant People
99% of computer users are completely ignorant. I got a forwarded email message warning me “LYK OMGZ lyk da WOrsT ViRuSSz eVA!!!”
Out of the 400 people it was emailed to, you think someone would realize that this is complete bullshit. It is IMPOSSIBLE for a virus to physically destroy your hardrive. Yes, it can mess up your software and make you lose data, but it will not destroy the actual piece of hardware. Even if this was a real virus (it probably isn’t), a fresh reinstall of windows and format would solve everything. So stop sending this crappy email around and don’t waste your time or mine! And only morons/n00bs get computer viruses by doing stupid things and not knowing the basics of security. I don’t have any anti-virus software and you don’t see me with a virus.
Check out how retarded this is:
WORST VIRUS EVER —CNN ANNOUNCED
PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST !!A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee and no vaccine has yet been developed. This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.
This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title:
“A Card for You”.As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so that the user has to reboot . When the ctrl+alt+delkeys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN.
This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.
So don’t open any mails with subject: “A Virtual Card for You.” As soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender !!!Please ! pass this mail to all of your friends.
Forward this to everyone in your address book. I’m sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at All
HAHAH!!! First off, “No vaccine has been developed.” I didn’t know you can inject your computer with a needle to get rid of computer viruses. Secondly, sector zero is the most phony made up BS I’ve ever heard of – only noobs would fall for something like that. Anyone who believes this completely bogus email DESERVES a virus and should be banned from computers for life. And the ignoramus who made this crap up can’t even get the source straight – first it’s CNN then Microsoft then McAffee. Go back to 7th grade and take a creative writing course – I’ve heard five year olds make up better stories. And finally, “I’m sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at All” – I will strangle someone if this gets sent back to me. It probably originated from some ignorant AOL user nüb.
And now as Stong Bad would say: “DELETED!!!”
Annoying someone via the Internet is now a federal crime.

Portfolioso
And an excerpt from the bill:
This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Whatever happened to freedom of speech in this country? As a matter of fact I’ll violate this stupid ass law right now. Watch…
Dear Congress and other retarded government officials (especially Senator F. James Sensenbrenner Jr, a hick from Wisconsin who sponsored this bill), Thank you for passing a very retarded law that is pointless. You suck. Spend more time worrying about illegal immigrants and soldiers getting killed in Iraq instead of stupid people posting useless things on the internet. Scratch your asses. Signed, Portfolioso (which is not my real name, so arrest me)
Oh no! I just annoyed and harassed Senator Moron on the internet without disclosing my identity. This is a felony. As you can see, by ranting about the government, I clearly violated the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act, without mentioning one woman’s name.
Attention everyone: do not follow this law. Law Professor Orin Kerr says that “if speech is protected by the First Amendment, the statute is unconstitutional as applied and the indictment must be dismissed…”
