2002nov26. Oh MAN!!! This has got to be the funniest piece of news I’ve read during this regime. The Shack is going to miss out on all of that sweet, sweet personal data from Total Information Awareness run by convicted felon John Poindexter. See, here’s the thing ... the government is already selling your address to marketing companies. For example, everytime you move and fill out one of those “change of address” cards, well, that’s more money in the government’s pocket, because they sell your new address to marketers so they can send you more junk mail, so they can phone you during dinner to make sure that you got the junk mail they sent you (this happened to me just today ... thanks for following up on that, assholes). So imagine, now, what corporations can do with this massive amount of information that the government is about to tap into and historically sells. Are you following here?
If you think advertising is annoying now ... get ready for the TOTALLY MARKETED FUTURE ™The really killer part is that when people start pulling away from credit cards, showing ID, etc, to avoid adding to their personal profile in The Beast (remember back in the ‘80s when there was a theoretical machine that was compiling total datasets on every human being alive called that? I think it was supposed to be located in Great Britain. Hahaha, boy that was a lark), well, that throws up the “suspicious activity” flag, and the next thing you know, you’re gagged and bound in Guantanamo Bay with all of your other cash-only friends.
