Microsoft warning

Probably one of the most unintentionally funny things I've seen all day. I can just picture those overly concerned middle-class parents trying to teach each other 'l33t speak'. "No Margaret, no, you PWNED those bitches, not owned, PWNED!"

MrJoeSoap

That is brilliant, good work!

Ah, I'd pay a pretty penny for an mp3 version of that article read to me in the style of Harry Enfields Mr. Cholmondley-Warner.

That was the whole point of the article Please re-read !

I think it was prolly someone who uses IRC and was jus ripping the piss themselves, and prolly sold it to Microsoft, or Microsoft sold it to the parents.

I'd imagine the original writer was fully aware of how ridiculous it was.

You are a nonce. You're a perv. You're a slot badger. You're a two pin din plug. You're a bush dodger. You're a small bean regarder. You're a unabummer. You're a nut administrator. You're a bent ref. You're The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. You're a fence vole. You're a free willy. You're a chimney bottler. You're a bunty man. You're a shrub rocketeer. .... you're a cheese player.

Leet words possibly indicating illegal activity:

Instilling a little paranoia there by putting "pwn" under "Leet words possibly indicating illegal activity".

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
