O pessoal da slashdot se supera, tanto na criatividade quanto na idiotice. Alguns sutis exemplos, retirados do post French Government Bans Term ‘E-Mail’
- What’s the difference between the USA and yoghurt?
Even yoghurt develop its own culture after a while. - It’s not so different from the US government promoting words and phrases like “Weapons of Mass Destruction” over “Unconventional Weapons.” Or Surgical Strike over Decapitation Strike (or better yet, Assasination).
Or my favourite of late (in Canada anyhow) is the use of “STI – Sexually Transmitted Infection” since the word “Disease” is apparently too stigmatising.
- For the last six years I have been living two miles from Quebec and one thing I notice is that from the french people’s POV, no matter what country you are from, either your “one of us” (French) or “one of them” (non-French).
For the last 51 years I have been living in the USA and one thing I notice is that from the American people’s POV, no matter what country you are from, either your “one of us” (American) or “one of them” (non-American).
A próxima é uma tagline que eu avistei no forum da nvidia ( URGH! ):
“Everything is possible if you don’t know what you are talking about”
