Right-wing companies are being contracted to track your phone usage... [View all]

If that fact alone doesn't concern you, I don't know what should. You keep telling yourself that it was approved by judges... judges I might add that have only disallowed 12 FISA requests since the FISA Court came into existence. Yup. Shhhh... go back to sleep. There's nothing to be alarmed about...

On the graveyard shift tonight there's going to be some fat fuck who went to his Senior Prom with a cousin, who was forced because he didn't have a date and his Momma wanted him to go. He's going to be sitting in front of a bank of computer screens, looking for the Dirty Birdies. You know, the ones who do the bad stuff. He's going to be sucking the mayonnaise off of his Cheetoh stained fingers after eating his third bologna sandwich. One of his screens will be showing DU PMs going back and forth. He knows who the Dirty Birdies are...

As he undoes his pants while logging into Chat Roulette he'll be wondering just which DUer he should fantasize about fucking tonight. Of course he wouldn't be logging in if they didn't FORCE him to, by being Dirty Birdies. Tonight he's thinking he'll drop his soiled Kleenex into HER locker because he bets SHE'S a Dirty Birdie too.

In the morning when he gets home, he'll lie to his Momma about the Chat Roulette thing and hate himself for it, just like he does every day. He'll succeed though, one day, for sure. He'll get his Dirty Birdie... maybe a WHOLE FLOCK of Dirty Birdies.

Yeah, you keep chanting Judge Judge FISA FISA... You have NO IDEA who's watching your phone usage but you don't care because you've been TOLD it's legal, and it's for your own good.

Shhhh... go back to sleep.
