The time is Ripe...

The time is ripe and the time is right could almost be used interchangeably. I chose 'time is ripe' because I think it portends more...

You know how when you click on your link to the DrudgeReport and the page opens and you usually see a small teaser headline to the left, and then the major, MAJOR, headline is in the middle, screaming at you from the monitor? Wouldn't it be SOOO COOOOOL if you could hijack a friend or loved one's computer so that the next time they went to Drudge, that big central headline was something only they would see?

For instance, if I could hijack Big T's computer, his headline would read:

Big T has sex with Wait Staff of Myrtle Beach Hooters Restaurant on long par 5

But of course the real headline I'd write would be muc more visceral and pornographic. But that's just me. After all, wouldn't the whole point be that your victim's first thought is that this is a headline that the entire WORLD is reading? Can you imagine the traumatizing effect on me if I read:

Bert Bananas video: Deflowering very large nuns!

Okay, maybe not traumatized, but terribly embarrassed... okay, somewhat chagrined.

And what if you could hijack the actual DrudgeReport servers and put up a fake headline that all the world DID read!! Suppose you could, and it was a one time deal... Is your first thought, like me, to put up a headline like:

Bert Loves Liz

Or would you lash out at someone, seeking to cause pain and humiliation? Like:

JESSE JACKSON, AL SHARPTON & KWEISI MFUME CAUGHT UP IN MESSY HOMOSEXUAL LOVE TRIANGLE!

or something closer to home, to avenge a wrong:

Rayetta Kay Kanel & Paula Bunker in double suicide because they could have had Bert Bananas, but dumped his ass. "Remorse killed them," says county coroner spokesperson.

This is why people talk about power corrupting... Imagine if you could hijack the DrudgeReport headline any time you wanted to, without ever having to worry about getting caught. Breathtaking!
