Financial Gains and Moral Losses

Postby Ashiwi » Thu Feb 15, 2007 3:41 am

I couldn't believe it when I actually saw this on a local news program. I'm sure it's old news for a lot of people out there, but I had to pick my jaw up off the ground. How morally bankrupt do you have to be to think this is okay?

Would you ever trust somebody who thinks it's okay to do this as a living? Would you want to be friends with them? Would you want to be married to them? Go into business with them? Buy a used car from them?

Wow. There is just not enough karma in the world for the owner of this company.

Not only do I think it is a good idea, but I wish I had thought of it first. People will be worthless, heartless sleeze-balls no matter how much you dislike it. At least this way, someone else can benefit from their misdeeds. Besides, it isn't exactly the first example of professional lying.

Just after high school, I spent some time working at a local computer retailer while I saved up some money to go to college. As you can imagine, most of the people worked there were limbo-age nerdy guys, so we all kind of fell in together. I ended up making good friends with one of the sales guys... we used to hang out on the weekends, play games, drink (illegal!) beer, etc.

This guy used to turn a lot of his paycheck over into buying computer parts, particularly hard drives. After watching him buy his third 200MB hard drive (which was a vertiable ocean of storage at the time), I asked him what he needed that much space for. Turns out, he worked at the retail joint only for the discounts on merchandise. His primary source of income came from the nasty fetish porno site he ran out of his basement.

I never saw the site, never cared. It was legal, as far as I know. There are probably some people who wouldn't be able to be friends with a guy who makes his money selling porno. I never had a problem with it. Nice guy.

This is hilarious. I can't wait until an even bigger and more heartless company buys their assets and then demands additional money from their loyal subscribers.
