Paul Thurrott Opens Mouth, Unbridled Idiocy Pours Forth

By The Angry Drunk

In the Retarded Zealot Hall of Fame there is none loftier than Paul Thurrott. He has achieved a level of absolute inanity that is unparalleled by any MacMac, freetard or New Media Douchebag. Given that fact, today’s bit of mental vomit comes as little surprise.

There you have the headline of today’s diatribe; and there you have the crux of the idiocy. See, like any good zealot, in Paul’s mind Microsoft must be the end all and be all of, well, everything. The mere thought of cooperation is trauma inducing. Paul begins by spending a few sentences making snide comments about “conspiracy-happy Mac fanatics” (pot meet kettle) before making this comment:

Cue today’s announcement that Norway is dropping its idiotic demands due to Apple and the record labels, agreeing to drop DRM in the iTunes music store.

Hope you arctic dipshits enjoyed your three years of windmill tilting. Now imagine how much faster we could have had this had you gone after the real problem instead of trying to gin up headlines.

Fucktards.
