I see.  Even more amusing: the US is one of two countries in the globe that didn't assign an agreement to work to improve the lot of women.  There's a lot of similar accords that we didn't sign, but that one sticks in my mind.

Guess I know what our priorities are!  Human rights < money money money

[Aklyon]

Well, thats interesting to know, Vector.

Also, AoD: Look what i found in the comments.

[Bdthemag]

Goddamnit.
Thats all i can reasonably say about this stupidity.

What the fuck!?

That's it. Internet Crime Squad time.

Yes, I can see it now...

Bdthemag: "Do you want to hear something Disturbing?"
Civilian: "What?"
Bdthemag: "Every day evil corporations put innocent people in jail for downloading movies!"
Civilian: "That is disturbing! What can I do to help?"

Civilian has joined the cause!

This link makes it a little more relevant to my interests.  Since when is the government allowed to enter into secret treaties, or "sign" international agreements without Congressional approval?  Not that the agreement would necessarily have any effect on American law, since it appears to be largely based on American law in the first place.  But there's some serious WTF alarms going off for me about the signing itself.

Okay, we seriously need a Internet Crime Squad mod now.

First, I'm sick of getting ambushed by Jehova's Witnesses at the bus stop. What's worse, you just can't tell them to bugger off, you just can't.

You can't?

Well, I believe the only way to get them to stop following you around is to make a reverse cross and start speaking in tongues.

Latin would probably work.

Here's to hoping that the HQs of all the great media empires get flattened by meteors. And to hoping that the heads of the RIAA and MPAA die slow and horrible deaths from some kind of wasting disease; but regardless of how it happens, when the heads of these organizations do die I think I may actually take a plane to where they are buried and personally dance on their graves.

I'll agree to hoping for the meteor-flattening only if we hope it takes place during an executive picnic on the roof while all the people who actually get things done are conveniently home sick.

Or the people who do get things done are testing out the teleworking system that day.

Oh great, Bethesda/Zenimax are still suing Mojang even after Mojang tried to comply with the "Cease and Desist" order.

Seriously?

We should boycott Bethesda. I mean, I don't have any money for games anyway, but those of you who do should also not buy their products. May their company wither and die.

Wha-?

This makes no sense at all. The only logical thing that Bethesda/Zenimax could get out of this is that they are trying to scare Mojang into never suing them about Scrolls or something.

I frankly don't think its Bethesda who's doing the suing, but Zenimax.
