Opinion: October 2004 Archives
The subject heading of this entry sounds a bit mad dosn't it. I mean, who the hell would believe that the position of the moon could possibly affect the outcome of an election. It dosn't, but there are those characters who are basing their election decision on the design of Mr Kerry and Mr Bush's website. Now isn't that fscked up. For those that don't believe me take yourself over to slashdot and have a look around......
Does this mean we are seeing the entrance of the designer website. I can see it now
1. Websites by Gucci
2. Menu's by Prada
3. Footers by Nike
Or, as a dialogue!
Manger
"Ohhh, love your hit counter"
Webmaster
"Yeah! we got Armani in to do it, worth every penny!"
Who the hell could possibly be that shallow?
Wait, we have Hello magazine, Cosmopolitan ( feminist trash ), FHM and Eurotrash that answers that question, the brain dead.
As far as I am aware he now prevents foreign users from visiting and viewing his website. I am not making this up. Unless you are on a North American ip range you are forbidden from viewing his website.
This is the most powerful man on the planet who has more affect on foreign governments and their economies than some of the local governments do yet if you ain't American ( an infidel ) you are not allowed to view his website.
The reason for this dumb ass decision is apparently due to his website getting cracked a few times. Do they really think that banning mass IP ranges is going to stop a real cracker, bollix. Its not hard to crack another PC from inside their borders then launch from there.
All this episode has done is made him and his administration look like people who don't care about us foreigners. But then, why should he care now he hasn't really given a damn before.
I hate getting involved in politics but some things are just too dumb to abstain from commenting on them.
