P.S. -

I'm not really Eric Corley. You probably already know that. Imagine, though, for a minute that you have never visited /. before, and think that Eric Corley really wrote this message. That is the same naivete that many internet users will have when they enter this page. Most don't even know what a re-direct is, and will assume that Ford owns the URL when they see the Ford site.

Many people, myself included, don't believe profanity is the best way to express yourself. I will support your right to say what you want, but not to put words in other peoples' mouths. There are a lot of people that would think less of Ford, not only for the language used but also for putting down their competition in such an underhanded way.

I have supported 2600 in their earlier conflicts with corporate America, but this time they have crossed the line. If they had put up a page saying, "2600 thinks Ford is better than GM", with a link to the Ford's page, I would have no problems. Same if they had put up a parody, even if it may infringe on somebodys "intellectual property". But the way the page stands it is a joke many people would not get, tarnishing Ford's reputation in the process.

Maybe Seanbaby is right and some people just shouldn't try sarcasm, or parody.
