Slashdotting our way to Stupid

It is quite seldom that I will claim to have all the answers, but I always know what the goddamn question is.  Here we go.

Gary
McKinnon, a skilled computer dumbass from Britain, hacked into United
States military networks nigh on a decade ago, and got caught. 
Extradition procedures followed:  extradition was granted in 2006.  But
wait! ...it's 2009, and Homey the Fuck is still in Britain.

God, we're stupid.

He's
been given permission for a judicial review to appeal the ruling for
extradition.  His lawyers state he as a suicide risk should he be
extradited, and mention that he was recently diagnosed with Asperger's
syndrome.

Wonder how much they bribed the doctor.

So I had to chime in.  You're welcome:

Can We Get Any Stupider?

"Hacker Gary McKinnon, 42, who had been diagnosed recently with
Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism..."
So everyone with even the slightest form of unusual brain chemistry,
far above average intelligence, and stunted or impaired social
development is no longer responsible for their actions? I can
understand why the wallaby jury here in Southern California let the
CalTech graduate student who moonlighted as a serial vandal take a
walk, but aren't Britons supposed to be at least slightly more
insightful than twelve smog-breathing cretins who couldn't talk their
way out of jury duty?
Depressing stuff, folks.

Hello, boys and girls,

Welcome to our regularly scheduled fart.  Oops, sorry.  I loused it up; let's start again.

SLOW:

O, that the Banquet of Chaos might begin!

STUPID:

O, that the Banquet of Chaos might begin!

SCHIZO:

Let the Banquet of Chaos begin!

(All rise.  Hell breaks loose, but is quickly caught when carded for attempting to purchase laudanum.  Slow conveys him to Exiletown, where he is forced to watch television until he gets better.)

Love,

How long have you been stuck on stupid?

This is just unspeakably good Engrish. You're welcome.

Passionate about marketing & communications strategy. You've got to know where the map is before starting the journey.

"Give a man a mask and he'll tell you the truth" said Oscar Wilde,
But in the digital age, is it more like "Give a man or woman the
Internet and he/she will tell you the truth?" What do you think?

Does the Internet have a "truthiness" factor or is it simply another
soap box? Does it really free us and our customers to be more
transparent, to figure what is solid and what is not? Or does it simply
reinforce what we already believe? Are marketers taking advantage of
the "truth" our clients tell us or are we simply armadillos who roll
into a ball and deny what's going on?

What ever happened to Monster

Just looked at public relations jobs on Monster. Not a one is from a solid company. More like personnel firms.

Where can someone go to search for a PR job besides the professional organizations and indeed.com?

What do you use when listing?

I could be wrong about this -- there are gaps in my comic book
collection -- but I believe the Killer Tomatoes took out Monster in
Vol. XII, No. 37 of Amazing Stories. It might've been the Blob, though.
