I know this is intended to be a clever marketing thing (and it is pretty clever) but please don't. It is well off color relative to the importance of the issue.

"Spy on us equally" and "he's defecting to China" are the two emerging ways pro-NSA people are spinning this thing. Don't fuel them.

Just two serious reactions!? Come on people! We want to see a flame war apocalypse and we'll never get there at this rate! Surely there must be some deep seeded angst-ridden phrases you've been saving up for a rainy day! Now's the time to use them! :) I'm thinking of phrases like "the nerve!" and maybe "freedom isn't free. live free, die hard (TM)" and "this is no laughing matter", etc.

Also, NSA, if you're listening (and, let's face it, that's your thing) - I'm going to need a cell room with WiFi - is that ok?

Quick question; what's the flag link do? Because I don't have enough karma to downvote this link but I feel I need to do something to save others the time of having to read this.

No disrespect to zerply. I'm sure there are other corners of the internet where this link would be appropriate but it just feels woefully out of place here on HN.

flagging == downvote, essentially.
