Anyone who visited the site yesterday may have noticed that things were amiss. We were indeed hijacked by the old robot porn pirates but thanks to our crack web enforcer Bob at TehCompany.com things are back to normal now so feel free to wander around the site and if the urge strikes why not visit the SHOP and pick up new stuff from The Buddy System or a comic while you wait for the upcoming release of Ruby Isle’s full-length “Night Shot.”
Thanks to everyone who let us know about the problem, here’s to hoping we can dodge the roboporn uprising next time!
Yeah, yeah, I know… long timey no typey. Well if you must pry, I have been failing miserably at passing a kidney stone and succeeding victoriously at finishing up our online store (should be up by the end of the week?) and putting together XMas 3: The War on Christmas (more on that soon).
ANYWAY…
Now on to the reason I brought you all here today… A while back I heard rumblings of a laptop being developed that could be hand cranked for power and be sold to developing countries for under $200 a piece to get them in the hands of poor kids. What do poor kids need with laptops you say? Well sure, food and clothes are good but the only way to truly help impoverished nations is to help educate the children so that they can create a better future for the entire country (and in turn, the world). The laptops can be loaded with a thousand or so books and when they are in proximity to one another they create an automatic network - meaning that if each kid in a village had a different collection of books on their laptop it would be a virtual library for a place that may otherwise have never gotten books other than the Bible (shudder).
When the project was announed it was said that they would never be available in the States because they didnt want to have all of the stock going to people who could afford a standard computer. However this morning as I was eating my Vanilla & Almond Special K (or my lady cereal as I call it) I caught a story on CNN about a special promo where for the next two weeks you can buy two of them for $399 and one will be sent to a third world child in need and the other will be sent to you. Not only do you get to help kids AND get a kickass looking little computer that can be powered up in a blackout or whatnot (mmm… apocalypse laptop) but $200 of the cost is also tax deductable as a charitable donation (if any of you are into that paying taxes thing - I kid, I kid).
If you are interested click HERE to check out more info on the computer, the Give One Get One program and purchasing.
Look at how pumped those kids are? Seriously, don’t you want to make kids that pumped? I thought so…
Some of you may have noticed the influx of spam posts in our forums and comments sections. Amazing.
Seriously, some Russians (or more likely some Russian robots - make of decomissioned Cold War ICBM parts no doubt) have taken to posting hardcore porn videos in the Kindercore Forums. For real. Close up anal penetration videos in forums on indie pop, the environment and politics - could they not at least have the decency to start a new forum section designated for close up anal penetration videos? I mean I am sure that some of you might be looking for that sort of thing and I imagine you would appreciate knowing where to look instead of being ambushed in an inappropriate forum.
Have some decency Russian robots! Announce your porn, don’t spring it on us when we are looking for information on how to reduce our carbon footprint or where to see the latest Kindercore combo performing live.
Anyway, we are on it - playing a low stakes game of Whack-A-Mole with Russian Robots - WOO HOO!!
