Is Your Son A Computer Hacker? Satire?

[glisp42]

As an enlightened, modern parent, I try to be as involved as possible in the lives of my six children. I encourage them to join team sports. I attend their teen parties with them to ensure no drinking or alcohol is on the premises. I keep a fatherly eye on the CDs they listen to and the shows they watch, the company they keep and the books they read. You could say I'm a model parent. My children have never failed to make me proud, and I can say without the slightest embellishment that I have the finest family in the USA.

What with the number of ridiculous signs (such as requesting AMD chips=hacker) I'm having trouble believing this is anything but satire. Can anyone shed some light on this?

It is satire. I have seen this article discussed on a different forum and it is indeed Satire (I cannot locate the original thread, its gone on that forum)

unfortunatly, the same people who pay $40 to get windows patches installed on their pc (instead of just clicking windows update) due to fear of "messing it up" will get their hands on this note and not know it is satire.

Kids are going to get messed up, and other organizations are going to get screwed..

Picture the parent at BestBuy looking at new computers..

Wow, I fit that description to a T! Except for the fact that I couldn't hack my way out of a paper bag.

"Snow Crash" as a hacker manual? "Does your kid use Quake?"

Funny article. This guys got a good sense of humor.
