I'll venture to say that if Viacom and AOL/Time Warner merge, they'd own everything except my soul and Wal-Mart.

I say fuck the corporations
I use MSN and AIM.. but I wrote a C++ hack/script to completely mess it up so that it does only what I want it to and shows no ads whatsoever. No corporations profit off me using it (they profit off advertisement sales) so I like it. I get a product I desire and fuck over a corporation at the same time. It's like Smantie's basic dream come true.
As soon as I find a way to get free hookers from this, I'll be living like a king...
