Senator Hatch Introduces Bill to Burn People's Eyes Out
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) today introduced legislation authorizing the
use of high-powered microwave lasers to burn out the eyes of non-paying
viewers of copyrighted material. "If we could develop technology which
just burned out the parts of their brains where the illegal memories are
stored, that'd be fine with me--but we can burn their eyes out right
now!" said Hatch, while introducing the Hatch/Hollywood Eyeball
Evisceration Act.
Hatch's previous legislation authorizing the remote detonation of PCs
used, or potentially used, or thought to have possibly been used, or
potentially able to be used after some jumper cables and soldering,
assuming a radically defective new security model, to access copyrighted
material was defeated in the Senate on a 51-49 vote last week.
"I understand why the Senate was hesitant to pass a bill that authorized
the destruction of personal property," Hatch said. "But this doesn't
destroy any property. It just turns your eye sockets into puddles of
bubbling goo. Okay, you might get some melted eyeball on your shirt, but
only if you panic. Keep your wits about you and you can get those
eyeballs to dribble into your cupped hands."

Comment on the new system has been mixed...
Jeff Williams, 48, had a similar impression: "I was in a bar--you know,
the kind with a bunch of televisions tuned to different sports--watching
the Phillies and the Cubs when the announcer said, 'Unauthorized viewing
of this broadcast is prohibited--' but that's all I heard, 'cause my
eyeballs were starting to melt."
