ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
In Sturgis, some jokesters had to remind everyone of that simple fact on April fools day:
"An April Fools joke has seven young men in Sturgis explaining a punchline that the police say was no laughing matter. They put up signs that read "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US, YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME." "
I think it's funny, personally. But maybe they should not have chosen that particular part to quote..."You have no chance to survive" does sound ominous in these times.
Of course, if they'd only put up the URL, the whole thing could have been avoided.
LINK your posts, man!

Jason, I am mostly in agreement with you, although I'll still take Ashcroft over a terrorist, see http://www.blogcritics.org/archives/2003/04/21/164459.php

i saw that "all your base are belong to us" thing on the internet about 3 years ago and thought it was pretty funny. but how did it become what it is today?? i mean, most people i talk to know about it. it's weird.
How did this happen? Harris's office told Database--a firm with strong Republican ties-to cast as wide a net as possible to get rid of these voters. Her minions instructed the company to include even people with "similar" names to those of the actual felons. They insisted Database check people with the same birth dates as known felons, or similar Social Security numbers; an 80 percent match of relevant information, the election office instructed, was sufficient for Database to add a voter to the ineligible list.
Mozzila Firefox i s one of the best browsers aviable on the net. Also I think IE was sux and will ever sux.
You guys should spent more time with CSS/XHTML books... you site look completely diffrent in Opera - IE - Firefox

Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ, the fact that these kids were arrested for putting up signs with a poorly translated quote from an old Japanese video game is not only one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, it's scary. There is nothing threatening about the quote unless you have "base," it barely makes any sense. I understand that 9-11 was a horrible, horrible incident and that people are afraid but my god, people need to start thinking rationally and stop letting paranoia control their lives. In fact if there is anything we need to be paranoid about it's The Patriot Acts and the attacks on privacy and personal freedom by John Ashcroft and the Justice Department, I'm more afraid of them than any terrorist or graffiti artist.
