Last night, Amazon sneaked into your Kindle library and deleted everything by George Orwell. Can't make this shit up.

Man, this epitomizes everything that worries me about modernization. Cars people can't fix on their own is one thing, but a seller being able to forcibly recall products people have bought and paid for en masse? Yuck.

Great headline, though.

George Orwell has never been for sale on Amazon. Amazon has graciously decided to gift you with free money roughly of the equivalent value of a George Orwell novel. Amazon loves you.

A furry hires another furry to kill his parents. The price? Furry 1 will let Furry 2 bite his cock off.

This is the problem with the internet. Without it this guy would feel like the freak that he is and would have hung himself years ago. Thanks to the Internet he can convince himself that it's perfectly okay.

That link might belong in IotD instead, upon closer inspection.

Xeroma · « **Reply #690 on:** July 23, 2009, 11:44:18 PM »

The plot failed and those two will probably be in jail for an extremely long amount of time. Also, that deserves IotD really.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #691 on:** July 23, 2009, 11:54:51 PM »

I'm not sure if it has dawned on people that killing also requires a modicum of skill. Go figure.

We're not saying you even had to - or should - move it! Just that the link was IotD-worthy!

Man. "Let someone bite off your cock" is a pretty strong level of hate. I can't imagine hating someone that much.

Reflections on a famous ad, 40 years later.

“People who know the area say, ‘How’d you hear your mother calling you from Powers Court?’ ” which is nearly a half-mile away. “ ‘What’d you get, bionic ears from eating all that pasta?’ ”

The "SEXY" belt buckle is pretty much confirmation that she's lying.
