Mom, and Now Judge, Stand Up to RIAA 670
Nom du Keyboard writes "First there was the mother, Patricia Santangelo, who has refused to roll-over to RIAA demands to pay their extortion fee because they claim to have identified her IP address as involved in Kazaa file sharing. Now Judge McMahon doesn't seem to be letting the RIAA have it all their way either in this case. Godwin's Law summarizes the rebuke of Judge McMahon to the RIAA lawyer now that a court case has been filed. A transcript of the entire court appearance is also available."

I'm reading all these posts arguing about the best way to make a general expression for the different organizations which threaten both fair use and technical development and I have a far simpler solution:
I think it's about time that someone is standing up to these *ASSHATS* in the world!
Best part is that it's completely multifunctional! Instead of digging up the acronym or abbreviation for the person/group in question, in only 10 minutes a day you can learn to use my amazing technique.
Damn the CIA^H^H^H^H^Hose ASSHATS!
Screw that warmongering Presi^H^H^H^H^H ASSHAT!
I hope those liberal ACLU^H^H^H^H ASSHATS burn in Hell!

People are going to mark this as a troll.
Wow, he actually got modded Troll!
On one hand he said he was going to get modded a Troll, meaning they HAD to mod him up, but on the other hand there was the bible thumping and the homosexuals / blacks / atheists / muslims / homosexuals / blacks rant. The mods must have has a really hard time struggling over that dilemma.
P.S.
You forgot the jews, japs, and hispanics.
