Don't eat "foreign" cheese either, as the green bits are moulds that make you hallucinate. If the child has liberal tendencies then you should attach electroshock therapy equipment to their genitals, to make sure that they grow up to be good law abiding republicans.

Erm, as far as I can see, it's just a slightly different version of a page that I saw about 4 or 5 years ago. Designed, as far as I can see, to make paranoid american parents keep spending money on MS products, AOL services, in PC's that use "good ole American" intel processors, that doesn't seem to have the faintest notion of the difference between a hacker and cracker (or any other work ending in "ker").

Just another bit of dross to be ingnored.

Funny article but:

Code:
Search:   Key Word(s): adequacy,org    Showing results 1 to 36 of 36
                                             Search took 0.81 seconds.

Funny article.

(It's a spoof, and an old one at that, so don't take it seriously :P)

It's satire, and obvious (though funny) satire at that. I can't help but wonder if people ever read The Onion and believe it.
