GamePolitics.com: Republican Congresswoman Claims Terrorists Communicate Via Japanese Video Game Sites

 

Um... When I saw this, my mind blew its own self right the fuck out. You can't make this stuff up.

So, porn now supports terrorism. Damn. I've got a lot of gigs of terrorist support on my computer, then...

[Reaperman]

yeah, I think if I were trying to keep under government radar, I'd use a pornographic front too. Though I think whatever video game site is in the example must just be an easy place to store files.

 

I'll be honest, I'm not seeing anything there that's 'blowing my mind.' If what she's saying isn't true, it's certainly plausible enough not to really get my attention. This is something that can't generally be said about most terrorist quotes.

And I communicate with terrorist-made Romanian toilets.

Hi guys:

 

Oh those rotten terrorists bastards!! I always did blame the Japanese for everything (-_^).

 

Even though i'm a Conservative, I did see this in my politics site.

WTF!!!! that's crazy!!!!!

The article has certain oniony smell to it. This woman's balls-serious, though. Reading it was like biting into an onion. Crunchy. Like an onion. Too bad it's not. I'd prefer bad breath to reading this as though it were a real report.

 

In Michael Scott calibur Captain Obviousness: The Onion. I'm referencing The Onion. Clap clap!

 

 

Aww, isn't it just adorable that she thinks government workers are all saints?

You Americans have such - big penises.

 

 

In Japan, our penises ah so small.

 

 

 

 

Veddy small.

Thats one of my all-time fav South Park episodes.

 

I especially love how the American dude reacts when he confronts the Japs about the Chinpokuman toys.

As somebody who has worked in government IT for the last 7 years now, I can say that for the most part, they are saints at work. I've seen three people busted for it, all low/mid ranking military. Nobody who has been around for any length of time is stupid enough to risk their career for it. Employee monitoring is not especially complete, but it's as complete as it reasonably can be and all it takes is one red flag to go up and a user's entire history of network use gets looked at.

 

As for official monitoring, since this story exists the capability to perform the monitoring obviously does too. I'm sure there can be enough forms to fill out and policy changes to make it possible, but I wonder how they get around the sexual harassment liability, which I'd imagine would be huge.
