- MADONNA VIRUS ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Some may argue that Madonna herself is a virus, but I'm not here to
- talk about that. The Sunday Mirror (March 7th 1993) carried a story about
- her book, well.... it was actually the pictures from her book "Sex".
- Schoolchildren have, apparently, illegally copying the "shocking"
- pictures from the book. The Mirror report that the pictures are available
- on disk "for viewing on a TV or monitor screen"......wow.... aren't they
- clever (I'm being sarcastic if anyone hadn't realised !!!!)
-
- I wonder how many of these disks are being distributed as PD ?!
-
- But, according to the paper, a "damaging high tech disease" is lurking
- among the pictures. The magazine Virus News International (has anyone
- heard of this mag ?) says that the rogue virus has yet to be identified
- - but it could cripple businesses by copying itself onto their computer
- systems and wiping out vital information.
-
- Probably a PC originated virus - but how many schoolchildren
- own PC's ? Yes - It's another one of those stories that has been blown
- WELL out of proportion. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a marketting
- plan to sell more books.
-
- What a crap headline "Madonna virus hits wizz kids".....if these
- "kids" were as good as suggested, they could easily wipe out this virus.
-
- For another crap headline, read the "Computer Bomb?" article.
