Greetings From Heaven, You Godless Heathen!

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

Perhaps the dumbest web service I’ve seen in a while, youvebeenleftbehind.com, will send emails to the friends and relatives (up to 62 addresses) of devout Christians, after the Jesus-Freak has been whisked to heaven via the Rapture—all for just $40 bucks a year. I mean, what price is worth the ability to thumb your nose and gloat at all those damned heathens, right?

That’s not all! The site also provides 250 MB of storage, 150 of which can be “encrypted” (there’s zero information on what exactly they mean by this or what method is used), so you can upload those important documents that you want to pass on to your loved ones.

The site suggests storing sensitive passwords, banking, brokerage information, locations of hidden valuables, and power of attorney documents. Their reasoning? You won’t need it, you’re in heaven! You can either give them your entire financial life to “hold” and keep “safe” for your loved ones, or risk the Antichrist getting it all. (I’m feeling like an opposing site, for donations to the Antichrist needs to be built, right now.)

Why entrust them all your information, you may ask? Simple, they say. Because they’re Christians. That should be all the credentials you’re average God-fearing, bible-humping idiot should ever need. Never mind that their contact info consists solely of a PO Box and a Gmail address. The domain registrar is a proxy, giving jack-shit for info as to who your money or your private financial information is going to. But hey, they’re Christians, it’s all good!

<sarcasm>This seems too good to be true! How do I know my information and messages will be delivered once I’m strumming a harp in heaven? Didn’t they say they were all Christian too? That means they’ll be in heaven with me! It’s so confusing, my head hurts! I better have an exorcism!</sarcasm>

Actually, according to these true believing heroes, there are five Christian people, scattered around the United States who must check in to the system on a regular basis. Should any three of these God-loving people fail to log-in over a three day period (presumably because they are now in heaven, not jail, mind you), the system will be triggered. An additional three days will be given as a failsafe and then like mana from heaven, all your important stuff will be delivered to the people you care most about on earth.

On one hand, it stinks to high hell of a total sucker scam. People who pay for this service are not only going to be $40 poorer, they’re likely to have their identities stolen and have their money cleaned out, pre-Rapture.

On the other hand, I’m all about abusing Christians.

13 Y/O Credit-Stealing/Hooker-Ordering American Hero

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

This kid, whether he ends up President or convict, is definitely going to grow up to be somebody special.

A 13 year old from Texas who stole his Dad’s credit card and ordered two hookers from an escort agency, has today been convicted of fraud and given a three year community order.

…Police said they were alerted to the motel by a concerned delivery clerk, whom after delivering supplies of Dr Pepper, Fritos and Oreos had been asked by the kids where they could score some chicks and were willing to pay. They explained they had just made a big score at a “World of Warcraft” tournament and wanted to get some relaxation. On noting the boys age the delivery clerk informed the authorities.

…When police arrived at the motel they found $3,000 in cash, numerous electronic gadgets, an Xbox video console with numerous games, and the two local escort girls.

…Asked why he ordered two escorts, Ralph said he thought it was the thing to do when you win a “World of Warcraft” tournament. They told the suspicious working girls they were people of restricted growth working with a traveling circus, and as State law does not allow those with disabilities to be discriminated against they had no right to refuse them.

…The $1,000 a night girls sensing something up played “Halo” on the Xbox with the kids, instead of selling their sexual services.

…Ralph’s ambition is to one day become a politician.

Let me tell you… this Ralph kid has some serious fucking balls. If only I’d known somebody that fucking cool when I was that age.
