all i can think to say... is W....T....F...?

The thought process that would cause a person to not only believe that, but appear with a sign as shown is nothing short of astounding.

Not just "Here's your sign," he/she/pat is actually holding it.

I'm not sure if he/she/it actually believes what it's preaching, because that sign doesn't look handwritten to me... looks more like a PRINTED sign off a COMPUTER.

I'm kind of curious if that's actually a photo-choppped image, because the man/woman/thing is holding what looks like a gay pride flag to me. Could be the sign used to say something completely different, and someone went to town with photo editing software.

I think the sign is meant to be sarcastic. Notice it says, "who cares if he cracked the German enigma code and won World War II".

...and according to Rakim from O-town, California, computers are racist too:

hahahaha.

Or, they might go both ways...

after all, I don't care who you are, you HAVE to have a few screws loose to even come up with that sign, sarcastic or not!

I thought this subject has already been covered here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-TA57L0kuc

Or is it the computer is the beast and the internet's the servant? I forget which.

i think that sign is more in context with this:


Gordon Brown has issued an official apology to the memory of Alan Turing, often called the father of modern computing, for the government of the day's part in his death.

As reported by the BBC, the apology comes following a petition created by computer scientist John Graham-Cumming which asked for the government to apologise for their treatment of "the greatest computer scientist ever born in Britain" following his conviction for being gay - illegal at the time.

As a result of his sexuality, Turing - responsible for "help[ing to] break the Nazi Enigma code and [telling] us how to tell whether a machine could think" was forced to take chemical castration drugs to curb his libido and was forcibly removed from his work at the Government Communications Headquarters as a codebreaker - thought to be the reasons for his suicide by way of cyanide-laced apple aged 41.

In response to the petition - which gathered more than 30,000 signatures, including the support of noted atheist scientist Richard Dawkins and gay-rights campaigner Peter Tatchell - Brown has issued a statement saying "while Mr Turing was dealt with under the law of the time and we can't put the clock back, his treatment was of course utterly unfair and I am pleased to have the chance to say how deeply sorry I and we all are for what happened to him."

Prime Minister Brown went on to say "on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan's work I am very proud to say: we're sorry, you deserved so much better."

Petition organisers have welcomed the apology, and are currently awaiting news following a request to the Queen for Turing to be awarded a posthumous knighthood for his services to the realm.

makes much more sense if you know his story.
