Title: Here because it's computer related.
Post by: maxusy3k on 14 Apr 2005, 23:08

Came across this (http://www.adequacy.org/public/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html) the other day while I was net surfing... still trying to decide whether it's a very clever joke or if it's actually serious.

I think the worrying thing is it could be serious.

Thoughts?

That site ranks about a 9.3 on my Satire-O-Meter. You may wish to get yours re-calibrated if you're honestly concerned that that site was meant seriously.

Taht would be satire done by somebody who doesn't actually understand satire.

in short, somebody with the sense of humor of a castrated wolverine.

Okay... I'm assuming you're the bloke who told the eunuch joke to an angry, furry beast and found out first hand?

I half thought this article was serious at first and my first reaction was "That's not very fair! I bet girls are hackers too!"

Read some of the other stuff on that site, then ask yourself if it's satire.
