He'll get over it.

I like that they have an on-file screen grab of the main page from 2011 for some reason.
 
2012-04-18 05:48:24 PM
It's from Fox News so I don't believe it.
 
2012-04-18 05:49:23 PM
Can we use drone missile strikes on patent trolls?
 
2012-04-18 05:50:08 PM
Don't fark with Drew.

Hagbardr: Can we use drone missile strikes on patent trolls?

No, just drone botnet strikes.

NkThrasher: I like that they have an on-file screen grab of the main page from 2011 for some reason.

The top article was about Michelle Bachmann being a huge hypocrite so I'm guessing it's left over from some stupid screed about how the "liberal lame stream media hates strong conservative government teat sucking women" or some other such bullshiat.

I like that the news is covering "Not News" which links to news and that it's probably one of the longer articles written today.

But this is fark linking to Fox News reporting on fark linking to news...and I've just gone cross-eyed.

I got yer' back, Drew! fark the trolls and Fox "news!"
 
2012-04-18 05:52:44 PM
Caught Sayyaf?
 
2012-04-18 05:53:47 PM
Some sources claim Abu Sayyaf was so incensed at this claim that he blew up at his subordinates.
 
2012-04-18 05:54:26 PM
The Fark is Abu Sayyaf?
 
2012-04-18 05:56:06 PM
Fark.com founder links patent trolls with 'terrorists'

"Compares" - yes! "Links" - NO!

Fox News doesn't seem to understand what English words mean.
 
2012-04-18 05:56:45 PM
Fox is okay with calling patent trolls "terrorists", but not okay with using the word "war" to describe the right's attack on women?

Double standard much?
 
2012-04-18 06:00:05 PM
ohhhh, I can't wait for Abu Sayyaf to get a fark handle.

This story is being milked like a prize Guernsey

I am a lawyer representing Abu Sayyaf in this matter.

Abu Sayyaf holds the patent on terrorist tactics, and an internationally recognized copyright on the term "terrorism". This infringing behavior has caused my clients considerable damages, and my client intends to collect.

Fark is making it into the spotlight a lot lately.

I approve of this.

Ooops! "man-caused disasters" My bad.

Testify, Drew, testify!

I had the idea for Fark in 1997.

At first I was thinking it would be great if Drew's Ted Talk resulted in Congress passing patent reform.

Then reality sunk in and I realized the patent lobby has millions to shove into the pockets of our elected officials to keep the status quo.

9beers: I had the idea for Fark in 1997.

I created the prototype in 1983. ;D

/and they told me it'd never catch on!

Tex Colorado the Arizona Assassin: traylor: Abu Sayyaf

Let me Google that for you


Damn. Ya beat me to it.

Fark was created by the Soviets in 1958 as a way to slowly occupy and passify the average American citizen.

I can't tell whether you're trolling or whether you've actually never heard of AIA.

Because we just had the biggest patent reform in the past 50 years, last year.

So are patent trolls better or worse than slideshows? I forget my hierarchy.

/Only 2 slides in the slideshow? WTF?

Wow, you are an incredible idiot. You do realize this was a Democratic faux controversy/talking point a year in the making, don't you?

Link

Seriously, it's unbelievable. You Fark lefties are always screaming "Taking Points!" when your side are the ones that invented the damn things (some of us are old enough to remember the weekly "Talking Point" faxes the Clinton administration used to send out various friendly media outlets).

How about you guys take your heads out of your assess and learn to think for yourselves?

I wouldn't call them terrorists, but they ARE criminals who should be behind bars. Wouldn't even have to be an especially harsh sentence. A few 2- or 3-year prison sentences, and this crap would .. well, not go away completely, but diminish.

Can we put spammers behind bars, too?

At least it wasn't NBC where whatever Drew said would be edited for desired political effect.

The Republican war on women has been going on a lot longer than just a year, friend. Like about 30 years longer. Not that Democrats are perfect, but they are certainly the lesser of two evils from any feminist perspective.

I own the patent on claiming you own the patent for something.

It's the last remaining news organization with ANY journalistic integrity.

If you don't check out the FoxNews website every day then you're clueless. Fox Cable, now that's a different story.

Holy crap, it's from Fox!?! I got so flustered when I saw the epic Curtis troll-face, I thought this was from NBC! With all the absurdity (and the Vapors from Drew), I just can't keep up.

Didn't you get the memo? Democrats aren't calling it a "War on Women" anymore.
