passive idiocy

That's how I'm going to die.

Passive idiocy. The sheer fucktardery will seep in through my skin and I'll get some kind of tumour.

In the state of Australia I live in, about 30% of cars have personalised license plates. With a max of 6 characters to work with, most of the combinations got taken long ago.

Now, I have a bit of an issue with words, I can't help reading them. So, the non-obvious personalised plates tend to itch at my brain until I can figure out just what combination of idiocy and poor spelling came up with the plate in question.

The one I saw on the way home this evening was: IJCBI

It's probably really stupid (I mean, they all are), but I just stared and started gesturing to my fiance and made strangled whimpering noises. I couldn't figure out why anyone would pay extra to put that on some piece of shit 20yr old hatchback that probably cost less than the plate itself.

To put me out of my pain (and this is why I love him), he offered up the suggestion of 'Jizz Covered Bogan', with the Is as decoration.

We're so classy.

i don't care why. just fix it #1

seriously

this is why people pirate shit.

how many fucking weeks do i have to wait for this? if you advertise it over here, make sure we can fucking buy it. it's not that fucking hard.

i love my ipad kindle app, it lets me buy things at what they're actually worth, minus the assortment of taxes and penalties and such that we pay here in australia for, well, just about anything. despite having a higher exchange rate than the $US. downloaded stuff just shouldn't cost more because the physical product does. there's no printing costs, there's no postage, there's no courier charges, it weighs fuck all, and the writer is probably getting buttfucked by the publisher anyway.

but the titles available are limited by whatever bullshit excuse for drm restrictions, copyright crap and a whole lot of other bullshit we have in australia. so i can search for shit, i know it exists, i could buy the physical book but i can't buy the ebook.

Dear Government Arseholes,
Fix this shit. You've finally given in on the whole R18+ category for video games, so get with the rest of the digital program.

Stop being a pack of useless retards about everything and just fix shit.

—Yours Sincerely,

the letter m.
