Dell: Will you be using this PC to design WMD?

[cprise]

"Dell has taken a leaf out of the US government's book of stupid questions, asking shoppers in its online store whether they intend to use their newly acquired PC to create weapons of mass destruction. The trick here - if that is their intention - is to select 'no'.

"If they answer 'yes', then Dell will refuse to ship them the hardware..."

.snip.

Dell UK won't sell to "a user involved in weapons of mass destruction or genocide..." Hang on, there's more:
"...without the prior consent of the US or competent EU government..."

Looks more like a marketing ploy to give their Freeper customers a big boner.

1. No surprise. Michael Dell is a big Bushie.

He was one of the prime people who pushed to put this moron in White House. I'm sure he's looking forward to actually electing the asshole, and what better way than to raise the fear level.

Don't buy Dell computers.
