Boycott gas? No thanks. Boycott Microsoft? Yes!

Goober Wants to Boycott Microsoft on May 15th Email forwards don't deserve respect, including the recent one going around telling everyone not buy gas on May 15th. I thought I'd seen it all... then a friend at work shows me this guy who wants to boycott Microsoft in a similar fashion. Who are these people and why is evolution taking so long to bump them off?

This post was deleted for the following reason: Gee, lesseffective and pwily are coming from the exact same IP, and pwily owns this page? We should start a boycot against lame-ass selflinkers. -- cortex



 
Ummm.... I think we should have an award for the most clueless, iq-less humans in existence. I'm pretty sure this guy (escobar status he calls himself) would take the cake. Check out his homepage for a snapshot of the web a la 1988:

The website has a working counter and it is at 71. How again did you find out about this webpage? It's incredibly obscure, incredibly low traffic and unimportant.

If we can start a campaign to boycott anyone reproducing with them we'd all sleep easier at night.

Up to 76 now.

I'm not sure if it's a 'get rich quick scheme' page or, like, some parody of that kind of a page. I'm much to lazy to click the links and find out.

What a coincidence!

Well, maybe they're related!

(Okay, I'm not being serious. But it's interesting that this guy apparently spent ten dollars to self-link, and still did it so obviously.)

It's a joke, right? Please?
