Living a Cheat Neutral lifestyle

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

imageWhat is Cheat Offsetting?

When you cheat on your partner you add to the heartbreak, pain and jealousy in the atmosphere.

Cheatneutral offsets your cheating by funding someone else to be faithful and NOT cheat. This neutralises the pain and unhappy emotion and leaves you with a clear conscience.

Can I offset all my cheating?

First you should look at ways of reducing your cheating. Once you’ve done this you can use Cheatneutral to offset the remaining, unavoidable cheating

Yes, it’s obviously a (very funny) send-up of the current idiocy that is Carbon Offsetting. Their About Page has more detail on why that is.

Godwin’s Law?

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Godwin’s Law states: “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”

It’s often mixed in with Reductio ad Hitlerum: Invoking Hitler automatically makes you lose the argument.

On that basis, given the video below, should Obama bow out of the US Democratic candidacy race? ;)

(the video, by the way, is an absolutely brilliant instance of a novel Internet meme, putting new subtitles over scenes from Downfall, a good film recounting Hitler’s last days before his suicide oin a Berlin bunker - but it’s doubtless very offensive to HillDog)
