"Daily existence is increasingly that of despair, depression, and derangement, punctuated by news of the latest serial murder spree or global eco-disaster, consumed as horrible entertainments in the emptiness." - John Zerzan

Sign of the times...
I was skimming through Slashdot.org's posts this AM and found a seemingly funny one about a "free mobile phone game" that calls phones in Antarctica without the users knowledge and giving them a nasty surprise when their phone bill arrives. Funny huh? No, and that's a sign of the times. Things that should be a fun or entertaining are used for stupid or criminal (or stupidly criminal) purposes. And of course the FUD factor enters into it all.
