Bittorrent Apocalypse
Tim Cohen, prodigal author of the apocalyptic expose The Antichrist and a Cup of Tea, is pissed off. Apparently, those naughty bittorrent fans have been redistributing the copyrighted "appendix to [his] upcoming series, 'Messiah, History and the Tribulation Period' (seven volumes)" or something, thus depriving him of much-needed income.
But never fear, for a vision from God prompted Tim to check teh intarnets, where he caught those thieves red-handed, and got their PayPal account suspended.
Wherein Tim is just like Jesus!:
"I have sacrificed . . . income for years to pursue God's call."
And could totally beat everyone at Pong:
"At the age of sixteen, I was perhaps the top computer programmer my age in the entire world, and acknowledged by a variety of sources as such; I had worked on city, state, and federal government projects; I had been a research intern with Atari in Sunnyvale, California . . . Today, I am a senior software engineer . . ."
Which is why this makes no sense:
"The consequence for me and my family, of the above, is that today, my only real source of income for myself and my family is the book"
He doesn't understand rhetorical questions:
"So, how should we all deal with that? Should you . . . continue to freely violate every copyright law on the books to accomplish your "rebel without a cause" approach? Or is there a better way for everyone? (I will answer these questions below.)"
Throughout, he continues to insist that he KNOWS MUCH MORE THAN ANY OF YOU REALISE. The capslock key makes it true!!!1!!1
Other posters continue to debate about torrents, copyright infringement, and the end days.
yoshua is perfectly suited for the Conspiracy Central forae:
"this is the first time I come across someone called Tim "Cohen" who claims to be a christian ...the Cohen name is obviousely jewish ....this guy is a con artist , besides are we sure that he is the real Tim Cohen or just someone posting under his name ?!?!?!?!?!"
gord3 criticises capitalism, or something:
"Moses: Speaking of donuts. My 3000th generation cousin opens a donut shop which sells donuts with messages from God on the icing. But Prince Charles doesn't want him to sell donuts. So Queen Elizabeth opens a donut shop across the street from my cousin with Illuminati Icing and they sell like hotcakes! My cousin, he's not too happy. Messages from God. For thousands of years: Nobody listens!"
tkra and Apache blame psychology:
"Someone mentioned to me the subject of Asperger Syndrome as a possible cause of Tim Cohen's behavior."
"It seems to me that Tim Cohen is bipolar and most likely refuses to even acknowledge the possibility"
Dr. Von Graffenburg wants to recruit Tim for a study!:
"5. Did God give you permission to use others photographs on your website without their permission?
14. Did God copyright the world?"
The person responsible for distributing the video under question chimes in and says Tim is a very nice man, but people are still angry. Paranoia, anti-semitism, Paypal hate, and general wtfuckery continue on for 40 pages.
Amazon.com readers never fail to amuse.
A reader: "The prince has the influence: Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II are over the entire New World Order power structure."
Take that, Tony Blair and the British Parliament!
titan2160: "So, the author thinks that the future king of England is the anti Christ, just because the prince is into off the wall new age beliefs and wants to be the future king of Europe."
Joe: "For example, he refers to Odin the Norse God as Satan. My question was, now how could he possibly know that?"
A reader: "Indeed, anyone who has read the LaHaye and Jenkins "Left Behind" series will, upon reading Mr. Cohen's book, likely abandon that series as false prophecy . . . in favor of an author and a title that offers real, credible information . . . rather than fictional speculation and sensationalism."
yoco tries to insert some sanity: "(p 186) "New agers often uphold unicorns as 'spirit guides' telling children that they should have their own special unicorn to imagine, to love and to call apon. It is interesting to note that in 'christian' symbolism, the unicorn is sometimes taken to represent the virgin Mary. One wonders then to whom it is that tens of millions of Roman Catholics are really praying to when they call apon the 'virgin Mary'" Gee I never relized all the Catholic school girls and boys were praying to a unicorn I'm glad he cleared that up for me."
Find out who the antichrist is inside the book! (Java required)
Popular torrent site the "Piracy Bay" delivers teh smackdown.
