“Along with the standard computer warranty agreement which said that if the machine 1) didn't work, 2) didn't do what the expensive advertisements said, 3) electrocuted the immediate neighborhood, 4) and in fact failed entirely to be inside the expensive box when you opened it, this was expressly, absolutely, implicitly and in no event the fault or responsibility of the manufacturer, that the purchaser should consider himself lucky to be allowed to give his money to the manufacturer, and that any attempt to treat what had just been paid for as the purchaser's own property would result in the attentions of serious men with menacing briefcases and very thin watches. Crowley had been extremely impressed with the warranties offered by the computer industry, and had in fact sent a bundle Below to the department that drew up the Immortal Soul agreements, with a yellow memo form attached just saying: 'Learn, guys...”

If only Stanley Ann Dunham had wanted wifi...

Hey you can always make another baby, but good connection is prime!

Hey you can always make another baby, but good connection is prime!

And if you visit the right webpages, they'll even show you how!

[Morgana]

Who would have wanted Stanley Ann’s baby?

Mom signing him away to Satan was how Barry’s career got started, wasn’t it?

Frank Marshall Davis?

Frankly, I think the Devil could do better.

Man, WiFi must be really expensive o’er there!

[Slings and Arrows]

Maybe they’re just addicts. Look what happens here when FR goes down for a few hours.

Like the guy talking as fast as he can in the radio car commercials, and the print so small in TV ads it’s illegible—no one can hear or read that stuff.

[Slings and Arrows]

Bingo!

The large print giveth and the small print taketh away.

That excerpt reads like eBay’s new Seller Requirements!

[Slings and Arrows]

Now you know why JimRob wants the satire warnings. ;^)

LOL...I hear you!

Unfortunately, what is going on at ebay right now is not satire.

It would seem that they wish to destroy all the “Little sellers” and promote CHINA. (sigh).

It was fun while it lasted, though. I guess everything comes to an end eventually.

I don’t think he has the basic competence to be the Antichrist, but even Satan needs a Fredo now and then.

It’s just the fine print most people just click through, probably not knowing what they were agreeing to. Such a term is against public policy in the first world anyway. It’s more about people being dumb and inattentive than giving away their first child.

[Slings and Arrows]

That’s a fascinating image.
