Buying AMD is anti-American

[samwichse]

My stepbrother just cued me in to this site that is one of the funniest satires I've seen on the internet.

A quote:

If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.

EDIT: the site is at this url:

Nobody would believe that crap anyway.

Please note that in my original post, it says that it is definately a satire.

Well that person is certainly strung out on goofballs! I don't know about you, but I have a hard time believing that a bunch of poor children in a third world country can build MicroProcessors in their basements.

It did make for a good laugh though.

Those are smart third world children that can etch onto silicon on a microscopic level.

That's pretty sad that some kid that never went to school can fab better then everyone at intel.
