Why America Sucks # 1,348,972,587,298,375

So, maybe you have all read about the big corporate entities this past week that lost security over their customer’s email address lists?

Today I woke up to emails from Chase and Marriott both saying “we’re sorry…”

I am so sick and tired of rich corporate entities just saying “we’re sorry”. In the game of business in America, when you fuck up this much, you should pay a price, not just send out a mass email saying “we’re sorry”. What happened to the card in monopoly that said, “Bank error in your favor, collect $200.”

The way I see it, these corporate entities that screw up like this have a choice:

1. Take a HUGE FINE from the federal government (thus reducing our nation debt – it would be a win/win for both republicans and democrats).

2. Give everyone a reduction in fees (skip a car payment or a free room at a marriott for a night).

I replied to Chase and Marriott today with an email that sounds like this.

STOP LYING LIKE EVERY OTHER CORPORATION IN AMERICA!!!

If you “take my privacy very seriously” you would pay me for your lack of attention and care or the federal government would fine you for carelessly collecting such information and not maintaining proper security around it. I would lose my job if I let this happened.

What penalty is Chase or any other big corporation paying for violating the trust of innocent customers?

NONE!

This is what is wrong with America! You big corporations are not held accountable to your customers and you will not pay or compensate your customers for your carelessness.

I will definitely be blogging about this. SHAME ON CHASE AND ANY OTHER COMPANY WHO THINKS A “WHOOPS WE’RE SORRY” EMAIL CAN COMPENSATE FOR THIS! I am very disappointed.

It’s funny after all the DAILY harassment this company has given me for being late on a car payment and consumers are just supposed to shrug off this gross violation of privacy makes me sick!

You should be fined HEAVILY!

I will be taking to the internet on every blog I can find and making sure that NOBODY does business with you because you think you can fix violations of trust with a simple “whoops we’re sorry” email.

SHAME ON THIS COMPANY!

Albert Einstein vs Stephen Hawking – Epic Battle

You know, Easter is coming and it’s always been my dream to see a completely mechanized film version of Christ’s Crucifixion. Think about it. A Post-Industrial/Post-Apocalyptic quasi-robotic interpretation of “The PASSION of the CHRIST”??!! Wouldn’t that be incredible? Well, …wouldn’t it????

Its amazingly simple. The talent is already there.
Hollywood could cast Steven Hawking as the Christ,
Robocop as Mary Magdelene, R2D2 as The Virgin Mary,
Bender as Saint Peter, Senator Bob Dole as Pontius Pilate

…and so on.

But I guess until Hollywood gets off its ASS,…here’s a little something to scratch that Hawking itch I know we ALL get from time to time! Hell man, I’m still trying to figure out the physics as how they were able to auto-tune his already robotic voice and not have the universe collapse in upon itself.

Enjoy.

Hello my friends in geekdom,

This was really crazy but I stumbled over this article:

http://www.archive.org/details/ird059

and it really “freaked me out” (because I’ve heard these sounds before.  A lot of it!  In some very interesting musical contexts).  I’ve never known about this, but there is this thing called “Numbers Stations” that are broadcast on shortwave radio as a way to communicate to international spies and stuff.  Thankfully, somebody has collected and posted some of this stuff to the Internet. I listened to some of the samples and I recognized sounds that were used in various recordings of music that I enjoy such as obscure stuff like ChromaKey, Brian Eno, etc.. As we all know my taste in music is poop anyway, but I’m curious if any of it sounds familiar to any of you? I just thought this was interesting, and I know I have super geeky friends out there that would find this “neato” as well.
