Both of these songs layan giler man, just listen to them if you're not gonna check out the vids.
Just when i thought i build up some serious last-minute cramming momentum, potong stim again. Haih.
Just when i'm still wiping the spittle from the corner of my mouth from that ( verily subdued ) flame-war rant, here comes another shitstorm - The eBay laptop scammer who got 0Wn3D. Read about it here.
Cutting a long story short, this guy bought a laptop on eBay, with the seller claiming that it was in good condition except for a missing charger. When he eventually got it after a delay, however, it was defunct. The seller refused to refund or compensate him in any way , still defending that it was perfectly working when he sent it off. Naturally, the scammed buyer was a bit miffed.
Karma, however, had other things in store.
When the buyer either got it working or just salvaged the disk or something, he found that (presumably) the seller/scammer had not bothered to wipe the hard disk ( all the more reason to suspect that it was fucked before he shipped it no?) and it was full of finger licking goodness:
- His bank details, passport scans, and CV
- Porn.
- Gay porn.
- Foot fetish porn.
And the creme de la creme - sneaky mobile phone piccies of women's legs, mostly on the Tube.
What - you'd think he was just gonna sit down and accept losing 375 quid to an eBay scammer? He could have gotten his own back in quite a few ways - in the end , after still not getting his money back from the scammer he chose to start that blog naming and shaming the guy by putting up photos of him and his private predilections. Well, seemed like the most legal(well borderline legal anyway, since he owned the disk and all that came with it) , and satisfyingly vindictive, no?
He probably had no idea how big this was gonna get.
3 weeks and 700,000 hits ( as of today) later this has become an mob lynching of epic proportions. This story has just been published in newspapers from England to Australia, with the seller still at the same time hopelessly claiming innocence, and also threatening to sue for libel. Which is kinda hard when the evidence is just impossibly weighed against him. The hits are going up by the thousands every minute, and the comments page is just........welll
The comments started out amusingly enough with the odd comment of support and some very amusing attempts by the perp/perv and his crew to discredit himself and at the same time cast doubt on the buyers character. Then it started to become a heated discussion about the legalities of the situation with armchair and "IMHO" lawyers throwing out their piece.
After that all hell started to break loose, with threats, racist slur and the like - and thats with the tagboard already moderated to an extent. Xenophobes, homophobes and yokels just started popping outta nowhere. Its like everybody wanted a piece of the scammer - and a few were also clawing at the buyer ,"laptopguy" himself.
Seriously, the amount of bigots, 'tards, tossers and other trash on the comment board. WTF man. Even those who are supporting laptopguy are hurting his cause by letting the whole thing degenerate to that extent. Being shamed on such a freaking epic scale is already punishment enough for the scammer. Heh - it seems he's bearing the brunt of the wrath of a horde of scammed eBayers.
Its still impossible to tell whether this is gonna be a super intense flash in the pan thing, or will go on for some time. Whatever it is, this whole mess will provide a hella interesting case study for you lawyers, psychologists and sociologists, no?
The twists and legalities over the data and the use.
The power of a lynch mob, augmented by the anonymity and audience of the internet.
Its a freaking opera, i say.
Okay so it wasnt that short after all. You shoulda just went over to the site. Well at least i've kinda summarized the bajillion comments too.
My opinion?
PAAAAAAAADAN muka la. Padan muka padan muka x 100. Dahlah kantoi tipu orang - ada hati nak carik gaduh lagi. Shoulda just settled when he could man. He's just digging himself a deeper hole now man. Should be fun to watch tho.
