Microsoft strikes again

Forget about a big collection of movies or music albums. They will autodestruct after the first usage. I hope books and girlfriends are next.

Ridiculous disclaimers

October 5th, 2005

(Inspired by a true disclaimer.)

Let’s say I hate you, mr. Smith. Can I mess your life by sending you “by mistake” a message like this?

Dear best friend of Mr. Smith,

Don’t say anything, but Mrs. Smith is a sport and she goes, you know what I mean… Say no more.

Yours truly,
Dr. Evil

So, tell me Mr. Smith, you’re in a deadlock, huh? You will certainly read the mail, but since it wasn’t addressed to you and you got it by mistake, you can do nothing, or I will own your soul.

Of course, I cannot do shit about it. Then why the fork do the companies put this sort of silly disclaimers in their outgoing e-mails?

Comments are welcome.
