Guys, it happened again.  On the old site once, I typed in my password wrong and the Bot Police made me enter in a very bizarre message; something like "The Revolution. The Pants Revolution." This was preceded by an animation of Godzilla destroying a town, naturally. Just now, I got it wrong again, and the bot asked me, "Which of these is a number?" The choices: Red socks 2038 air conditioning coffee writing a book banana bread Oh, bots. You're so much fun. |

Haha! The Pants Revolution. What exactly does that involve?  These things can be so amusing. Though the last few times I've typed my password wrong, it's made me watch an ad before it'll tell me what to type.  |

Writing a book is definitely a number. Hours and hours.
I do hate it when you can't read the letters properly on those. So frustrating! I think it's a problem when even humans can't read it.
On tinypic they've got bots like that and now they are propagating brainwashing. You have to type in a sentence related to an add. I got "The Hopper on DISH Network" about five times.

I'm kinda tempted to deliberately type my password wrong just to see what it tells me to say. I haven't had a ton of the ad ones here, but definitely a few. I don't remember what they were advertising, though, so I guess it didn't work on me. |

Do it. I don't like the video ads one at all. So annoying. But I'm glad you're not brainwashed! |

Right. I totally will, next time I log in.  The worst part of the video ads is having to wait to find out what you're supposed to type in. The internet is supposed to be instant, dang it! Heh. (I have a very good internet connection, in case you couldn't tell. One thing my school does right, I guess.) |

Ugh, yes! I hate that, too. There's ads everywhere! On youtube videos too and I hate waiting. -.-
We're robots, Spectre. Didn't we establish that already?

So... No ad this time, but I did get this message:
catch the man
What does it mean? Is this some kind of subversive message, encouraging rebellion against big business? Or is there some kind of man I'm supposed to be looking for? How will I know him when I see him? Should I run after any man I see running? I'm so confused!

Lol! Oh! Man! Look! Behind you! XP
I think when they are not brainwashing us with ads, they are just making up random stuff.

They totally are just making things up. It's fun to assign meaning to it, though. Actually, that would be a pretty awesome story. Oh, hey! I need to write a thriller-type thing for my genre class... Maybe I'll actually do that. |

It's funny that. I think as humans we are masters at assigning meanings to things of absolutely no consequence.
Yes! That would be brilliant! XD
