According to twitter, mass pro-Mubarak text messages are being sent out in Egypt.

This is getting absurd.

1. From the cell co, Vodaphone, iirc. n/t

2. Absurd is a good word for it.

It's like Dad thinking he can beat the kids at their own game. "They're using that internet thing and those text thingies so if I do it I can beat them!"

Do they honestly think they're fooling anybody? Pro-Mubarak "protesters" (who've been pretty much non-existent up till now) suddenly show up by the busload (literally in buses) armed with weapons and start attacking the real protesters. Does anybody really believe they're grassroot?

Yes, absurd is a very good word for it.

3. Good. Absolutely waste of resources. Better that than flinging Molotov cocktails at unarmed

demonstrators.

We should encourage such forward-thinking "innovation" by dictators.

4. When this is all over and if the people beat Mubarak, I'd suggest kicking Vodaphone out of Egypt

That a company would even deign to do what they're doing is ridiculous.
