Privacy in the Philippines

As of November 5, 2007, drivebyshooter.net will no longer be updated. For posts on photography, you can now go to LightChasers Photography. For the author's personal site, head over to the Dark Corner.

I’ve taken this post down for security reasons, but this is the gist - some stupid idiots, please excuse the profanity, fucked up big time. I’ll repeat some of the stuff I said earlier, what the fuck were they thinking?!? Were they thinking at all?!? Do they even have brains?!?

I don’t really know what else to say about this.

    jozzua: It makes me wonder what their legal department is doing. Heck, it makes me wonder if they even have a legal department.

    Alexis: I would be glad too - I wonder what havoc some people could cause with this information.

    The funny thing is this stuff seems to have been online since March 2005. But it’s only now that people are getting wind of it.

    Comelec has proven that there is no limit to human stupidity. They never fail to amaze me! I didn’t think it was possible for a single government entity to possess such a vast reservoir of pure, undiluted stupidity.

    They practically posted fuckin credit card information.

    The list was taken down this afternoon by the way. I certainly hope media picks this up because taking it is just not enough, not for me anyway. Just imagine what other stupid things Comelec gets itself into that we don’t know about. Tsktsk.

    Pippo: March 2005? Damn… yeah, it’s surprising nobody noticed.

    Chie: Stupid doesn’t even begin to describe them and their mental capabilities (or lack thereof). Their idiocy is so blatant that it’s criminal. As for the links, they weren’t down when I checked last night, but they are now.

    benj: Good for you… lucky bastard. =)
