After recent news reports of a OS X worm and a Safari security flaw have made the rounds, a number of young Mac users report being contacted by a youth group advocating Internet abstinence as the best method of staying safe from such problems.
According to a pamphlet put out by the group, the Internet Abstinence Alliance promotes keeping computers off the Internet, ostensibly to prevent the spread of malicious software.
At an outreach session sponsored by her group, 19-year-old Internet Abstinence Alliance coordinator Mary Macmillan said that the Internet is a filthy place that people should avoid at all costs.
Macmillan said “The only true way to be safe from viruses and worms and malware and hackers and men who treat you nice until you let them into your ‘special gift’ and you suddenly realize they just want to grope you and paw at you and do all kinds of unspeakable things to you… some of them in places that I didn’t even think were possible… I mean… there’s not a lot of room in the back seat of a 1978 Honda Civic… you have to hitch your leg up over the seat and push it against the window and then brace your upper body using the stick shift. The whole thing’s not easy, particularly if there are more than three of you in the car. Not to mention any farm animals. And he said not to mention the farm animals because that would be an extra five years.”
Noticing the horrified expression on the faces of her fellow Internet Abstinence Alliance members, Macmillan cut her description short.
“Well. That’s what I hear, anyway.”
Macmillan said that few Mac users have responded to the Internet Abstinence Alliance’s outreach program, which sources said invariably degenerates into an anti-smut diatribe.
“Mac users are filthy perverts for the most part,” Macmillan said.
This comment prompted most of the attending Mac users to get up and leave.
“Perverts!” Macmillan yelled after them.
Now seated alone in the middle of about 20 folding chairs, Macworld magazine’s Peter Cohen raised his hand.
“Um… someone said there were going to be cookies.”
I love this
I’ve put a large condom over mine. The Mac, you perverts.
No need for spam filter. Just everybody post as Tim Ma.

No.
Stupidity is far too important to let morons play with it.

Reading Mary’s account, I felt pretty guilty, because I rather enjoyed reading her story. Right up until the farm animals part. Then, I felt really guilty.
Please make it stop…
First post by me!
I find that the internet is clean as a whistle. It’s full of wholesome goodness.

Tim….
Do we need to have a talk?
I hope not.
We appreciate you enthusiasm, but let’s not spoil a good time for everyone.
Where did I run off to?
I’d call that display comment spam, frankly.
Ka-T(r)im-Ma
won, I like to call it “annoying asshole with too much time on his hands and no comedy chops in his head.”
“Tim” will now have to make the trek across the yard to use Dave’s dad’s DSL connection. So, we might not hear back for a while.
is someone else writing the rumors? maybe it’s me, but it seems like the quality has gone downhill.
or maybe it’s just the site redesign.
This whole thing seems like a Monty Python sketch.
There are some who call me Tim.
OIL CAN! OIL CAN!
It’s better when its real:
“Dr. Gao Wenbin, director of the Psychological Consulting Center at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and leader of the “Rainbow Program” that teaches Internet abstinence, told Xinhua that college students comprise a major group in society that are addicted to using the Internet.”

I can’t be bothered with anything recently. I haven’t been up to anything. I don’t care. I haven’t gotten much done lately. Not that it matters.
