Condoms for keyboards

Ya know, being in IT, I'm already freaked out about catching the flu or something from using other employees' keyboards. But the thought of this just gives me the willies.

Quite frankly, though, I don't see how AOL could be at fault here. Why is it that people always think a lawsuit is the answer to all of life's problems? If AOL were to shut down their chatrooms tomorrow, the IRC would still exist. Then who would they sue? Every organization with an IRC server?

So now we want public service announcements in our chatrooms. I suppose AOL should remind us not to drink and drive, not to use tobacco products or illegal drugs. Or maybe they should remind us to vote, or to see our dentist regularly. God, what would we do without the internet to remind us of all these things that any person with an ounce of common sense already knows?

Nobody told these men it was okay to go out and have unprotected sex! Are you telling me they haven't figured it out yet? Is that AOL's fault? Hello, AIDS has been running rampant in this country for the better part of 20 years now!

I'm sick and tired of frivolous lawsuits and pointing the finger at everyone but the person who is REALLY to blame. People of the world, stand up and accept the responsibilities of your own actions!

Or else, I might sue you.
