Well that will certainly put a stake through the heart of the product.

Figures. I just get compiz all set up the way I like it and this happens.

Doomed. We're doomed all doomed.

/starts downloading OpenBSD

Dooooooooooomed!

Come on, this HAS to be satire, right?

 
andyb2260 [TotalFark] 2007-07-08 03:42:49 PM  
The page name is "silly Linux Jokes" you tell me.

 
fezziwig 2007-07-08 03:43:58 PM  
nekom: psst, since it's on the "linux joke" tab I'm kind of assuming it is.

 
BrknPhoenix 2007-07-08 03:45:28 PM  
This makes sense.

 
NeverDrunk23 2007-07-08 03:46:11 PM  
Bush doesn't care about Linux people?

A spokesperson close to Revernd Al indicated that he would use his contacts and formidable lobbying presence to put pressure on boards

used to be called extortion...

 
FusiHreindyr 2007-07-08 03:48:08 PM  
Well as long as this particular operating system hasn't suggested it was gang raped and thrown in a dumpster, I suppose it's all right with me.

 
joeythehobo 2007-07-08 03:48:43 PM  
Since it made it to from page, I'm guessing the joke's on Fark.

 
joeythehobo 2007-07-08 03:49:21 PM  
Meh, preview is overrated. I enjoy my misspellings

hehe.

 
Shia_The_Beef 2007-07-08 03:49:36 PM  
...because Windows is racist?

ok I totally missed that. I mean, come on stranger things have happened.

 
the_lorax 2007-07-08 03:50:05 PM  
knbber2,
I wouldn't be so sure, he's on a roll of late, taking down Don Imus, a man in broadcasting for over 40 years, was a pretty big victory...

 
markstev717 [TotalFark] 2007-07-08 03:52:41 PM  
I don't get this at all.
This has to be a joke.

 
markstev717 [TotalFark] 2007-07-08 03:53:33 PM  
nekom: ok I totally missed that.

I see now. And this got greenlit why?

Penguins are black on the outer fringes but white in the middle...

/Do penguins like oreos?

Linux must be doing the black folks right.

 
rppp01a 2007-07-08 03:58:54 PM  
Instead of 'Redhat' or 'Debian', we could have the name 'Attractive African American Linux'.

 
Dialectic 2007-07-08 04:00:24 PM  
Imma say it again, you gots to sep up a Bourne shell. Bourne shell scripts can typically be run with bash or dash on Linux or other Unix-like systems. You gots to live in da 'hood to understand it.

Yo, peace out a big 'HOLLA' at y'all!

 
cheap_thoughts 2007-07-08 04:00:57 PM  
It got green lit to see how long it would take for AP to pick up on it.

No he's just going to sit his fat ass down on a bench.

Because it's funny?

/ some people need to learn not to take Fark so seriously

 
demanton [TotalFark] 2007-07-08 04:06:01 PM  
Dude! Wait. What?

 
Sean M 2007-07-08 04:08:00 PM  
Yeah, cuz, Microsoft hates black people, right?

Instead of Ubuntu... Negro

 
thelordofcheese 2007-07-08 04:10:58 PM  
Damn, I thought that one was word-filtered. So many things that some people consider offensive, so little word filters.

/there a list somewhere?

 
Unixfreak [TotalFark] 2007-07-08 04:11:29 PM  
I sincerely hope this is satire.

As much as I'd like to see more linux drivers, I also believe it's a companies right to choose, and extortion should not be used against them.

I'm probably just taking it too seriously, it has to be a joke. Sharpton only chases causes where large groups of people agree so they'll give him money. The linux community isnt big or generous enough for him.

 
AmazingRuss 2007-07-08 04:14:36 PM  
Shii, Pumpsnatch, ain no brotha wanna be lookin at bunch o dollar signs and underlines and shi! Perl be for honkey mufaggas an them funny brothas in Hydrobad. Now you shut da hail up fo I get over dere and smack yo ass.

Windows keep tha black man down.

Can't find it readily--Anyone have the pic of the MS Word box (for writin' lettahs and shiat")?

 
Psychomancer 2007-07-08 04:26:54 PM  
Linux brand Fried Chicken.

Tasty.

 
FuzzplugJones 2007-07-08 04:29:41 PM  
Don't most of the people who support bigots like Sharpton use Macs anyway?

/you want to talk about class warfare?
//most decent Macs make paying for Microsoft Office seem like paying for Taco Bell

He seems to have forgotten you can't steal what's free.

Hey, Sharpton is less divisive and more reasonable than most Linux zealots. He never tells me I should be black.

 
Detroit_Bob 2007-07-08 04:50:09 PM  
'Spiffy'? He's a farking moron.

 
hodgep 2007-07-08 04:57:31 PM  
This means I get to use the term "tarball" around my black friends more often!

Figures a black guy would want something for free.

When did Al Sharpton get on the Microsoft payroll?

I LOLed quite a bit.

That's it. I'm NEVER using Linux.

That's ok. Real men use BSD.
