That requires far far to much effort. Just download one of the free you can find around on the net and get a picture of a puppy and run it thought the program. Oh so much easier. :P

It would seem the spam bots are getting more crafty, hiding their links in posts designed to seem personalised.
I'm onto you.
But they seem so...real.
Easy, young padawan. With time, you too shall be able to tell which posters are genuine and which are the insidious creatures from the genus Spama Bottia, or the common Spambot.

On the plus side, it's technically on topic here. Unless by being on topic we have become off topic. For the only logical way to do an off-topic thread justice is to remain on topic.
Yes it is on topic here. And I'm all for it. HERE.

No. I tend to post less when I'm at school. Mainly because it's a walk to get Internets access and I don't do that if I don't have to.
Although to be fair to myself, this is more or less how I communicate in the real world. Brief, brief moments of insight and valuable contribution followed by an avalanche of random crap that just spews forth from my lips.
On the plus side for you guys, I don't swear nearly as much here.

QFT... I find it hard to change the channel... I just wanna shoot myself... Though the News does that to me a lot these days too... CNN had about 20 minutes of Coverage for some guy that flew into a tree into the middle of some field... The guy wasnt hurt or anything... And they made comments like. "I don't think he flew into the tree on purpose." What in the world is that?
And yet another wildly unrelated topic...
A lot of you guys, maybe girls too?, have been talking up pron?...Seriously of what I have seen, what is the addiction? The times my husband and I have decided to check it out, it always end the same...we turn it off and come up with something far more inventive...

It's also designed to expose children to adult prejudices in a simplistic way to indoctrinate them into society. Even Barney, that purple freak, is known to ostracise children who show individuality and a lack of desire to conform and exclude them until they fold their will into the collective.
Sesame Street teaches children to be contemptuous of the homeless (rather than help Oscar the Grouch, they call him a grouch. Poor son of a bitch lives in a trashcan and it's his fault he's grumpy? Give the guy a sandwich for chrissakes.)
Indeed, a great many shows are aimed at proving how white, Christian parents are right about anything and if they disapprove of it openly then children should subvert their own will to them.
Watch a daytime special. Children's properganda is a beautiful thing.

Haha Children's Propaganda too funny. Sadly cause it's true.
To be fair, how else are we going to teach children values if we don't systematically indoctrinate them into accepting the views of White Middle Aged people? Independant thought is for terrorists and communists, clearly.
=\ It's not the kid's shows that do the most damage, it's the public education system.
It's not a matter of "most". Step back. Every facet of Western society is set to indoctrinate the young into following the set path laid before them.
Education, television, even popular fables (like the Boy Who Cried Wolf), all are aimed at molding young minds into a particular shape.
It's not any great conspiracy, it's the weight of culture and tradition.
