Stallman Attacked by Ninjas 524
vivIsel writes "When RMS took the stage to address the Yale Political Union, Yale's venerable parliamentary debate society, it was already an unusual speech: instead of the jacket and tie customary there, he sported a T shirt, and no shoes. But then he was attacked by ninjas. Apparently some students took it into their head to duplicate an XKCD webcomic before a live audience — luckily, though, Stallman didn't resort to violence. Instead, he delivered an excellent speech about DRM."

A raid on ESR is likely to have look like a gameplay video from "Soldier of Fortune 2" (with the Ninjas being used for target practice).

A webpage made only for internet explorer showing a talk by RMS. Why is he even trying.

It's not that he'll shoot you if you dress as a ninja and try to sneak up on him. It's just that his speech might exceed the bullshit threshold that you can tolerate.

Let me imagine for a minute.
You: Why is this retard wearing a nappy? Doesn't he understand that India will never be free until he puts a suit and tie on.
You: Why is this retard wearing a Springboks jumper? How will anyone take him seriously?
You: Why is this African-American shaking that torch like that? Can't he just put it straight in? Doesn't he understand what a mockery this is?

Just because some people are (by common custom) materialistic, elitist assholes doesn't mean you have to be too.
Then why bother to speak at Yale at all? ;-)

It just goes to show you what happens when you go around unprepared for ninjas. What next? Will he be caught flat-footed during a raptor attack?
