This shouldn't be half as funny as it is. It shouldn't be funny at all.

Then again, a little bit of gallows humor is always in order when facing these things.

Our emails certainly seem to be very funny. :)

Posting this link on Facebook forces me to answer a captcha, what I have never seen before at this point. Then trying to follow the link, the FB-redirect produces an Internal Server Error, so the link to the Tumblr page isn't working. Haha, 500 Code on an simple link, while other links are working.

There must be the NSA behind it! :-D

Funny you say that, the same thing happened to me. Where are you located? I'm in Australia. Never ever received a Facebook captcha before when posting a link and to make it more interesting, I was posting the link in a secret group on Facebook which only the invited members would see anyway.

Probably a large volume of the link being shared, triggering the anti-spam filters at Facebook or something...

Same here in germany. I've never seen a captcha on Facebook before.
[+] insickness|12 years ago|reply
Yup. Same thing happened to me! Got the captcha but it posted fine.

I'm in the US, and had the same exact problem.

This is one of those times when it's both funny and makes you cry

Finally. Something funny. Ok, now I feel like I can get back to programming... something I've been putting off all day. The world is fubar, but it's still alright.

Just like the 'kim-jong il looking at things'! :)

I keep trying to share this on facebook and facebook makes me enter CAPCHA and then breaks my link. Conspiracy Y/N?
[+] bti|12 years ago|reply
Same. A lot of people are sharing the link, maybe FB's spam protection is kicking in?

A picture says more than 1024 words, and its funny, thanks a lot.

This is disarming the seriousness of the government recording all your internet activity.

Too soon.

I understand your point however we could be seeing the images that will define Mr Obama's presidency in the making.
[+] thehme|12 years ago|reply
haha! most ppl in these pics are actually showing him their computers, cell phones, etc.

The ridic thing is that this has been happening since the beginning of electronic footprints and suddenly now ppl are outraged by this, but not by the nonsense they happily put up on facebook. w/e

It seems that readers are misunderstanding what bothers me about this mess. If we are this upset about it, we should be pushing to reform the Patriot Act (etc.) not down voting my comment about the lack of privacy in social networds. We should be making our Google, Facebook, Tweeter, etc. accounts safer, by demanding security and privacy and by ourselves taking steps to achieve that privacy.

Seriously guys, how much of this is Obama's fault? Isn't it Bush that we all should be complaining to?
[+] zwily|12 years ago|reply
Obama has been president for like 5 years now. If he didn't approve, he would have stopped it.
