The Tenth Circle Is Stupidity
Video Game Store | Duluth, MN, USA
(A customer looks at our new game Dante’s Inferno.)Customer: “Is this, like about Dante from Devil May Cry?”
Me: “No, it’s based off the poems.”
Customer: “What?”
Me: “It’s was originally a series of poems. The Divine Comedy.”
Customer: “So, it’s a book?”
Me: “No, it’s a game based off the poems from the Divine Comedy.”
Customer: “What? So it’s a game then? What the heck is a poem?”

Spencer Pratt Leaves The Hills to Fight Cyber Crime
via People:
“Upon learning of President Obama’s declaration that the ‘cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,’ I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented challenges,” he says.
“My new mission is this: To do my part in maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent emerging technologies from threatening our nation’s security.The number of LOLWUTs per sentence in this article is off the charts.
UPDATE: Looks like he might just be covering up anger management classes. So disappointing.

OMG CNN the Whole Internet!
I made it through the first 20 minutes of the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Cyber Shockwave SimuFail (broadcast on CNN) last night before I started having an aneurysm and switched to the History Channel to soothe my nerves. If the sources they pulled together for the “high level first response team” are any indication of what an actual response to a real, pervasive attack would be, we are so fucked. (Protip: It’s obviously not, duh.)
Luckily, ophelia already wrote a hilarious rant and thus saves me the time of doing it myself.
“This bot attack has spread from the wireless network to the internet.” “…Virus migrating from cell phones to computers.”
–Actual quotes from Cyber Shockwave
HOLY CRAP THIS LEVEL OF STUPIDITY IS ASTOUNDING.
What exactly do they think makes such a retarded scenario possible? Are they telling us that all those systems are public-facing? All of them – every single one – linked to the public internet? If that were the case, those responsible should be prosecuted for criminal negligence. They deserve to get pwned for being that retarded, but this level of ignorance is fucking criminal.
As I earlier remarked on Twitter, why didn’t they ask real hackers for input on Cyber Shockwave? Oh, right – we’re all evil berserkers who blow shit up via smartphone apps.Unfortunately, there are real risks policies that need to be understood by both the populous and our leaders to balance the desires to secure and protect ApplePiesAmericaInfrastructure while not stomping on InnovationFreedomHumanRights. This exercise advanced neither.

Welcome to AOL 2.0! Can You Guess Which Company It Is?
via CenterNetworks:
AOL was exciting – you could read news, send and receive email, play games, IM chat with friends, go into chat rooms based around topics, search for content, listen to music, send eCards, customize the home page to suit your preferences and a variety of other online tasks.
Read the above paragraph that begins with “AOL was exciting” and replace AOL with Facebook. Seem similar? Seem to be identical?Despite the fact that 100% of the astonishingly trite crap on this page is centered around a fundamentally flawed perspective, the ultimate premise is true.
And why is Facebook the new AOL?
Reason #1: Because the same types of people (and I use the term loosely) that thought AOL “was” The Internet in 1998 now think Facebook “is” The Internet.
Case in point: The woman who taught the gifted program at my elementary school (sweet woman, truly) FB messaged me the other day:
“I’m on your website! You are so smart!” she said.
I thought for a moment. She most likely wasn’t on my domain homepage, as it has little content.
“My blog?” I replied.
“Yeah, your website! You’re interests are so funny! I wish I knew you now!”
“Oh, you mean my Facebook profile. ……. :|”
Reason #2 (from article comments): Yeah, I’ve also used Facebook free for 1000 hours.

Many Problems To Address
(via notalwaysright)
Post Office | Phoenix, AZ, USA
Customer: “Excuse me, I sent a letter last week but it came back. Can you tell me why?”
Me: “Sure, do you have it with you?”
(The customer hands it over. It doesn’t take long to figure out the problem.)
Me: “Oh, okay. You’re going to need a valid house address to have it sent.”
Customer: “I did put the address!”
Me: “That’s an email address, ma’am.”
Customer: “Yes, and it’s valid. I checked!”

Novelty Panties Generally Piss Me Off
Case in point:
These are supposed to be Split Reason’s idea of pro-women gamer wear? Puh-lease.
