Old, but funny: Seizing the Epilepsy Attack

[Sabre]

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this.

Hackers defacing a website, frequented by epileptics, to intentionally cause seizures....

I'm so going to hell...

I saw that as well and suffered a lewl after a quick glance over my shoulder.

I'll be there right with ya, man!

[Mr Kleen]

saw the article on Wired when it was first posted. that's a really REALLY shitty thing to do. making jokes is one thing but causing a person to actually have an epileptic seizure is another.

[complacent]

You have a very good point Sir.

I guess the layer of abstraction provided by teh innArwebnets offers a jaded viewpoint...

I'm still kinda on the fence about this. I mean yeah it's funny only because of how jacked up it is. On the other hand though, seizures suck.

seizures suck?....really.......you should try having one sometime. Then you should try taking the meds for them sometime. It isn't a boatload of fun either. Having your wife threaten to divorce you because of your mood swings and have your kids scared of you. Yeah it is a god damned ball. I have put on 35 lbs and no matter what I cannot drop it even if I only eat once a day...but it is normal for this stuff.

anyway....I read that article a while back and thought it was hysterical. If the retards that run the place aren't going to lock it down a bit better then that maybe they should get out of the website biz....as I am sure they aren't doing it free of charge. Sorry....but I have no patience for this stuff.

Sorry for the minirant but I am particularly hating my meds this week....I want a beer in the worst way. And I can't have one on Topamax.

i lol'd, but then again i don't selectively laugh at certain things and shun others because it might offend certain people, even if it's myself who gets offended.

I may laugh at a cancer joke, but I won't laugh at a site that causes cancer.
