AOL goes to controversial spam?

AOL says to forget the Troops?

Got this in the mail today: [http://images.snapfish.com/33%3A5986323232%7Ffp54%3Dot%3E232%3C%3D374%3D36%3A%3DXROQDF%3E23235333%3B9%3A%3B%3Aot1lsi]

But a quick glance to the back brought to my sight something pretty shocking and very crude.

First, it was AOL = America On-Line.
Then, it was AOL = America On Lag.
Now, AOL = Anti Osama League.

What they mean is that after you've had AOL, everything else seems so much better!

Why don't you switch to a real ISP, then? It's so much better on the other side.
A client of mine has AOL and I cringe inside when I have to do work at his house on it...

It hurts to go from real DSL to a dumbed-down dial-up connection. The guy was running a spyware-infested copy of win98, too, which meant popups every five minutes. I'm going to help him reinstall win98 this week (he's using an old comp, and i don't think it could handle winxp and have resources left over for anything else)

Yeah I know it's likely the result of a random generator, but it's pretty screwed up for a time like this. Especially if it was sent to a soldier's family that was lost in the war. I mainly have a beef with it because you get this sort of thing even if you don't request it in any way.

Up to 5 times faster than a standard dialup? What standard are they using, a 1200 baud modem?

Apparently, he's smarter than we thought. Who wouldn't want to run away from AOL?

The passwords are just random combinations of words. That was hair away from being "TROOPS-KUMKWAT" or "DONKEY-FORGET".
