I would like to apologize to the Boing Boing community. Apparently, in the previous post on this subject (here: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/28/billboard-liberation-1.html), I expressed an unpopular view and/or used excessive sarcasm.

Fortunately, Teresa edited my post to protect the readers of this blog from my unpopular ideas. Thank you Teresa.

Can someone point me to the Boing Boing posting guidelines? I looked a little but didn’t see them. I don’t want to accidentally express any other unapproved opinions.

I find this to be a good starting point, even if I don't always take the advice myself.

Being sarcastic – not sardonic – seems to be the key.

Personally, I can’t read the posts that have been disemvoweled, so I have no clue what your post used to say.

That’s it! I’m renouncing AND rejecting your blog.

I thought it was irony at its best when AT&T recently sponsored a movie about how evil the NSA is… (sorta) :

There was a commercial for AT&T in the previews when I saw “Jumper” a couple of weeks ago. It had strangers walking into your bedroom while a little girl was on the phone. The tag line was “AT&T: We’ll never interrupt your conversations.” (Oh what? Only listen in?)

Then in “Jumper,” Samuel L Jackson’s evil character identifies himself at first as an NSA agent, out to kill the protagonist.

The irony was delicious.

in light of #1:

at+t = fail, the least we can do is to not let that wash over easily.

otherwise we risk effectively renouncing AND rejecting our OWN rights.
