Award!

Posted by on

Pork & Beans has honored IMAO with the “Cannon Manufacturers of America Top Site Award” Award, based mainly on our support of the Mexi-Cannon project:

Now I know the Department of Homeland Security says that being concerned about illegal immigration is a sign of right-wing extremism, but IMAO’s Mexi-Cannon actually DOES something about it – cheaply and effectively – which is a sign of right-wing efficiencyism.

Don’t get those two confused.

FINE PRINT:

To join the exclusive club of blogs who honor IMAO and have your award featured on our sidebar with a link to your blog, make up a fancy award image honoring IMAO, blog about it, and drop a link in the comments.

Keep it PG-13, and if it doesn’t suck too terribly bad, your award will be duly noted in a post (I’m currently backlogged by about half a dozen submissions – don’t worry, your post is coming), and placed in the sidebar with a link to your site.

As added incentive for people to honor IMAO with worthless, made-up awards, those who do so may proudly display this worthless, made-up Participant Ribbon:

If you don’t have a blog, then send your image to harvolson-at-gmail.com and include a link to one of your favorite IMAO posts.

For the Photoshop-impaired, here’s a guide to making mediocre fake pictures with Microsoft Paint

Or try the free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum sidebar image width is 190 pixels. Please make sure text is at least barely legible at that size.

Now get honoring!

Taking a stand against piracy

Posted by on

The UK is finally taking a stand against piracy.

This week, France — France! — captured 11 pirates. And, of course, the U.S. Navy took out the pirates that had captured the Maersk Alabama.

With all the problems there are around the world with pirates, there need to be more countries taking a stand against piracy.

And the U.K. is doing just that. They just sentenced four pirates to jail.

According to the report ….

Um.

Wait a second.

Ah.

Hmm.

It seems that they are battling software pirates, not seafaring pirates.

Okay, the whole world has turned upside down.

France protects world commerce … and the U.K. protects iTunes.

I want my reality back.
