They would be sued into oblivion. If I lived there I would pretend I was a fag so I could help discriminate against non-gay people . :p
If I lived there, I'd be so down with lesbianism they'd ask me to be the spokesperson. :)

Although in Atari's case, ET WAS A good game once you figured out how it worked ;).. I saw proof on youtube..

Anyway, back to AOL. I am still holding on to my email address, due to the fact that my grandparents are tied into our account.... but we are no longer paying and choose the free option once it became available.

I've been of AOL for years now.. Ever since Optiumum came to our area around 2001...then Fios year later...God, do I NOT miss the days where a 10 MB movie trailer download took over night to get done.

Sounds like discrimination. I wonder what would happen if an ISP offered special discounts to only heterosexuals?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20724961 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 09:04:49 EDT Re: Go figure http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20724902 CylonRed :

Yep - same people have been saying AOL should have changed their model before they did - same people who are now saying AOL will die due to their changing their model for the better. In other words - typical hypocrite behaviour.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20724902 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 08:40:39 EDT Re: Go figure http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20724536 supergirl :

Since AOL chat rooms are the #1 place for gays to meet, they'll pay $11.99 since it is cheaper than going to the bar, the bathhouse, or Tom Cruise's, er, Leo DiCaprio or Jeff Gannon's home. I'm kidding on Tom Cruise; he sues over jokes about him and makes you join Scientology. :D

Yeah, when did they drop the price so low?

Last I remember were these stories:

where their dial-up was > $20.
