This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

From the title here, I thought this happened in 2003, not that the article is from 2003. Good thing the page itself has a bright yellow text box. Just saying, you might have made this clearer. I also wouldn't call this "mildly interesting". I don't know what it is but there's nothing "mildly" about it. Fuck.

It's extremely horrifying is what it is and the executives responsible for this decision should be put into prison. This is monstrous. Someone who's comfortable with this decision does not belong in society. A monetary fine is not adequate, especially since the fines are usually less than the profit they earn through these types of actions. They just consider them business expenses.
