BugMeNot Registration

BugMeNot.com now requires registration. For employees, partners, affiliates or legal representatives of any site which enforces compulsory user registration to view content, that is. It should only take a moment.

the "I consent to having this information sold to the highest bidder on eBay" option should be pre-selected.

Wait. That's not a real questionnaire. Would you be willing to have an RFID chip inserted under your skin in exchange for a free, 12 month newspaper subscription? Explain how a search engine like Google would function if no content was publicly accessible: Would internet advertising influence you into buying a new car? What if the car was shiny and the ad popped up in front of what you were looking at? Have you ever fantasized about killing your boss? Have you ever sympathized with members of Al Qaeda? List the names of any of your friends, family or neighbors you suspect may sympathize Al Qaeda: ... Now that's funny.

I'm a little upset it doesn't ask for SSN. Or shoe size.

I rarely go through the front page there anyway. Usually, I just type the link into my browser along with the domain I'm looking for. ie: http://www.bugmenot.com/view.php?url=www.nytimes.com http://www.bugmenot.com/view.php?url=www.washingtonpost.com

Wait. That's not a real questionnaire. Chico, I just knew there was something happening inside that cute bald head of yours.

Anyone esle notice that MeFi is one the sites that bugmenot provides login information for? Mmm...not in any meaningful sense, unless I'm missing something crucial about that listing. [Hay-zoos Christ-o, that was a close one...where's login when you need them?]

At first I thought this was one of those stupid threads about how some popular site I've never heard of did something annoying and everyone was going to complain. Then I realized it was actually a funny joke and my fists stopped shaking and my otherworldly Hulk-like rage subsided... Thanks, I guess. I was about to go stop crime, but this will have to do.

I enjoyed this post, and would support it in either a presidential bid or a coup-like effort to take over the world.

If you hurry off to my weblog, you can see a couple more homeland security take-offs. That post will drop off the page in a few days and I don't keep an archive, so it you like it, save it :) The button below was inspired by a Metafilter thread...
