July 25, 2008Open Warmonger's Thread: IOC Regime Change NOW!! ;-)This thread is inspired by Stubborn Facts' grumble on the IOC's decision not to recognize the Iraqi Olympic Committee that the merely democratic Iraqi government provided." As I see it, the IOC ARE fascists. There is no free speech around their activities; clothing with your messages aren't allowed. You HAVE to use the one credit card company that pays them most. And God help any ancient "Olympic Pizza" or "Olympic Amphora" businesses that happen to predate an Olympic event in their city. They love to maximize their control - they love to hand out advertising and TV monopolies, and give them rights incompatible with human rights and freedom. I call for invasion of IOC headquarters at Lausanne, Switzerland, to force regime change to a truly democratic form of government, in which *I* make all IOC decisions. The troops should be stationed indefinitely to make sure I stay in charge^h^h^h^h^h^h make nuisances of themselves and so in case other of the tons of Swiss-based international organizations go wrong, we'll be ready. Remember, if you vote for ME as IOC1 dictator, I promise to free broadcasting within countries so you get more competition for coverage, and I get more TV contract shekels to spend on a Linux Beowulf Cluster that I'll use to take over the WORLD!!! Bwahaha! :-)!! Posted by Jon Kay at July 25, 2008 08:28 PMComments
I'll vote for you! And for a small percentage of the gross, I'll be happy to manage your campaign.... Posted by: Tully at July 26, 2008 03:16 PMTo arms! For the revolution! I suspect we'll have the new regime in place in a matter of days. Linux Beowulf Cluster?? Wha? Posted by: Rafique Tucker at July 26, 2008 05:13 PMThe Beowulf Cluster thing is an obscure computer geek joke. A Beowulf Cluster is tons of LAN-connected PCs managed with Open Source Beowulf software running on Linux. It's the most cost-effective and geeky kind of high-powered-computing there is. All computer geeks want a nice, big one, on some level or another. On Slashdot, there's a old chestnut of a joke, I'd like a Beowulf Cluster of iPhones, or today's highest-end processor, or game consoles or ice cream bars. As for taking over the world using a Beowulf Cluster, I'll leave it your imaginations to decide if I was serious.... Bwahahah!!! Posted by: Jon Kay at July 26, 2008 11:33 PMI'm with you. With writing on my shirt even. Posted by: Rachel at July 31, 2008 03:24 PMPlease post a comment
