That's fucking stupid

Archive for the ‘Quote of the Day’ Category

First there was this wikibaiting comic on XKCD:

Of course everyone went to wickedpedophile and checked to see if the page was really there, of course someone created it and subsequently the upper echelon of the wickedpedophiles deleted it because they can.

So starts the Talk page!

Favourite quote so far:

XKCD fans seriously need to get a life

A Wikipedia Editor

From the Torygraph:

A “puerile” Foreign Office memo which has thrown the Pope’s state visit to Britain into doubt was circulated by a 23-year-old Oxford graduate who once included “drinking a lot” among his hobbies.

That would be a normal young graduate then.

That person who leads that marginal British political party of alleged racist bigots:

All Muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists are Muslims and as for gays, not all gays are militant and want to shove it down everyone’s throats.

This quote is like a gift from the gods.

Seriously. It’s just… beautiful. Thank you, Nick. Thank you for brightening my day.

James Murdoch has been blathering on about piracy like he knows something about it.

He’s made that classic mistake of saying that piracy is like

going into a store and stealing Pringles or a handbag.

Of course that’s largely because he’s an idiot. Let’s clear things up shall we?

Piracy is nothing like walking into a store and stealing a handbag or some pringles, it’s more like studying a handbag then buying your own leather and making an exact replica; or in the case of pringles buying your own cocaine and rubbing it on crisps.

Sharing music online is more like taking those aforementioned home made copies and making more copies to give away to your friends for free.

Where you would be crossing the line was if you sold those handbags or crisps to others, and profited from the similarity to the original. This is like downloading a movie and then selling it on DVD down at your local laundrette.

So really, the law has kinda got it licked. They don’t stop you making your own handbags/crisps but they do try to stop people selling counterfeit handbags, although I don’t think there have been many cases of counterfeit pringles.

Can we end this bullshit piracy debate now that we’ve got that cleared up?

Odious toad, Nick Griffin, says:

We had to do it [change the constitution] for legal reasons. Many of our members think it’s a good thing.

A lot of people said we should have done it some time ago but that’s really by the by.

Our problem with this is a government funded, taxpayer-funded quango telling people who they can and can’t associate with, [which] is a fundamental outrage.

Nevertheless, we recognise legal reality, so we have done it and now, for one thing, they can’t call us racist any more.

Spot on there, Nick, because changing your constitution to allow non whites in to your little gang because you have to is the very definition of not being racist.
