Where do they think all these disks are gonna end up?

I swear, in the last decade I've handled and tossed out about 85 promo AOL disks. They are now in landfills. These fuckers should pay.

It reduced me to helpless laughter the first time I read it. It was the perfect expression of outrage, incoherence and idiocy.

Bisk Poetry, preserved forever.

The kids club where my wife works used to be almost completely decorated with AOL discs. Shiny side up they make great wall tiles, or you can thread them and turn them into mobiles.

It's slightly scary to realize we're coming up on ten years since Saunders made his one and only mark.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 20 December 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

xpost That's thoroughly on-topic, but they should still be fined 8.7 billion dollars annually.

No wai. He is clearly a founding member of Group X.

Yeah, only AOL should be ashamed. Forget all these other discs that are pumped out daily.

Not enough coke.

there was some campaign a few years ago to collect all the disks and then dump them back at aol hq. what happened with that? I remember these guys already had like a million of them.
