I wonder how many Freeper desktops are festooned with this POS? :eyes:



I particularly like this part:

"You may evaluate the Terror Alert Monitor for a period of up to 30 days before you buy it."

I mean, c'mon!

"Hmmm....nothing happened..... I'm not buying it." :silly:
or
"Huzzah! Everyone died, just like the monitor said! I'll take a dozen!" :crazy:


It's not just me, is it?

1. Perhaps later they can make a desktop out of that

That always apprises you of the terror alert...and then later have a Windows Theme that changes all of your icons to terror alert symbols...and then they can make a program that sends out emails to everyone in your address book when the terror alert changes color....AAAAAEEEEEIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!

Ok...I'm done...

2. You can make a fortune

playing off the fear of people. Y2K is another example of this.

4. If only I would've stockpiled

duct tape and plastic sheeting. :evilgrin:

5. Or, one could just add this bit of code for free:

To put the current terror alert level on your website:

6. What about the dolo amber alert?

Y'know, like when a dolo amber has been declared, and we all have to wash our hair in goat bile and run nude through the streets of Omaha.
