A very good lesson... but unfortunately learned far too late. LOL.

That's often the case, but maybe we can learn something from it. (Y'know, like 'read the fine print') =)

LOL. Yeah, how many people do that though? "Terms & conditions on the web site? Pfft. It's probably same old same old... *clicks 'I Agree'*" ;)

There was a story some months back about a company actually putting a "user forfeits his immortal soul" in an online user agreement (presumably) as a joke, and almost nobody catching it.

Very clever! Have you seen The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus? I wasn't fond of the movie itself but conceptually it intrigued me a lot and this did for the same reasons.

I do like the Devil!

Thanks!
I know nothing about "Dr. Parnassus" except that the title and the visual style of the movie from its ads looked like something I might like.

Chilling. And no less than what he deserves.

beldar April 21 2011, 01:28:17 UTC

Yep. And as I crafted the story in my head he got eviller and eviller -- but it's that subtle evil he didn't even realize he possessed (till now)

lawchicky April 20 2011, 19:42:48 UTC

He totally deserved that!

beldar April 21 2011, 01:24:19 UTC

True, especially when you see in beeker's entry part of his failings.

beeker121 April 21 2011, 01:21:05 UTC

Reading this again, I still really love the concept. Yay!

beldar April 21 2011, 01:22:14 UTC

So I'm guessing I still have your vote? ;)

beeker121 April 21 2011, 02:21:37 UTC

Indeed you do.
