How ludicrous can the war on terror get? Now it seems that you’re not safe even when you’re cruising around the electronic social scene. The pentagon has now declared that online games are “creating security vulnerabilities by opening novel ways for terrorists and criminals to move money, organize and conduct corporate espionage.”

Whoever you are, finely bearded fellow with the karate suit on, I salute you. There I was, surfing the net, ready to give up on life for the night, when I chanced across your magical piece of inspirational wisdom. In a matter of 19 seconds you have changed my life.
