What The Hell Is WikiLeaks…

lol…

as far as i can tell…wikileaks is a viral marketing campaign… for… helen mirren? she stole secrets… then… raped? in a movie funded by paypal? i think i have a fairly good understanding of this issue so gchat me if i've been unclear.

paypal…what do you mean

paypal is one of the words i use when someone says wikileaks and it seems to register with whoever is talking about the issue. they give me an 'approving nod' as if i've cued into a important piece of the puzzle. Paypal is probably involved but will likely make you paypal them 20 bucks before they will discuss it.

sweet…

did the same research in my office today what is going on

what were your findings…

ummmmmmmmm…

remember how paypal stopped sending donations made to wikileaks

remember how there's like a massive unified entity trying to 'mute'/'stop' wikileaks

4 2 0 cUTE BLOGGER ALERTT

it's an organization/website

when did paypal do that…

what do you think about it…

i'm stealing this information about paypal and adding it to my conversational repertoire.

are you… cooltop from /mu/??

seems like a good idea but actually boring in its realization

yet it appears as though they are 're-engineering improvements' on the site to make it both 'more secure' and 'more user-friendly'

seems exciting

OH BOY… I LOL'D.

I don't even get where you can see the stuff they're “leaking,” should be more accessible/easy to figure out

there should be a big flashing .gif

paypal stopped allowing payments to wikileaks, so did visa & mastercard. then hackers from 4chan shut their websites down for a day. Wikileaks is now suing paypal…

SACRED DEFECATION; COOLTOP!?

LOL.

bro…

what…

wikileaks is sueing paypal…

sweet…

idk, they won awards

I don't think they're actually doing anything I think it's all a scam so Julian Assange/Joan Didion can go around raping people and getting the internet to sue PayPal over it

WikiBleaks

COOLTOP/lewis IS A NAMEFAG THAT SPAMS PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIS SHOES AND A GUY NAMED “JIMMY” ALL OVER /fa/ /tv/ AND /mu/.

and that picture of a sad cat

u should totes submit this info to their electronic drop box when it reopens in the near future

i think it's viral advertising for the next james bond movie.

I can't wait for Tao's next article so that I can leech on to his relative fame by being one of the 30+ requisite attention-seeking comments that swarm below every single time he writes anything on here. And I really hope this comment comes off as super smart/funny/hip/witty/clever/ironic, 'cause that would make me feel good about being a not-so-good writer who writes for a not-so-good website.

bro…

wait, they are suing visa and mastercard. paypal is “unfreezing” donations. now I'm confused.

they're sueing both visa and mastercard…

sweet…

sweet

i feel like there's been a major backlash since the awards

when i see the 'personal appeal' banner ad things on wikipedia i think 'wikileaks'

does anyone know if it's a part of wikipedia…i feel like i honestly don't get it…

yall have gone mad….I <3 radio is….seek…truth…

wiki is just the name for a site that allows for creation and editing of pages for the site through the web browser rather than going through other processes. “wiki” just refers to the type of software that powers “wiki” pages. they are not related other than using “wiki” software…

bro, i just typed 'bro.' damn. I just had a celery stalk but it left.

wikileaks?

i have to pee.

honestly seems confusing…more confusing now maybe…

bro…

what…

I am confused too. I'm glad that I'm not the only one, Tao.
I think now I want to die my hair white and do crazy shit maybe.
Seems like that's what Wikileaks is about maybe.

sweet

sweet…

you seem so chill in the movies

bro…

is it wikileaks?

it's just a successful troll
assange means 'towards monkey' in french. not sure how jimmy wales fits in, wales – whales – water – water under bridges? on the surface they seem to be fighting over the word 'wiki' but it's non-copyrightable, it's just mexican for 'fish'. they both look like er, libertines. maybe the money is for a new collaborative site 'pedoleaks'

@indiana jones hope this makes you feel good bro

down w/ paypal

lol…

'julian assange' sounds like a brand of sensual body oils

what is relative fame vs real fame, indiana jones you are a smart professor and you have stumped me with your mind games

hehe

hehe…

heh haha
think wiki is just a viral prefix

im kind of sad the article didn't answer that question

Interface seems really difficult.

Wish it was 'powered by tumblr'.

Isn't it sooo funny how we don't know anything that's happening outside the city? Cuz politics is sooo dumb. D'ya know what I mean? We're so totally awesome. Let's go to a diner. That's all the context we need.

Wikileaks has made listening to Radio 4 in the morning 100% less depressing. It is basically a political gossip-machine, seeemingly causing no actual threats to “national security” or whatever, just making public figures really embarrassed.

i don't get it…

This seems what Hipster Runoff might be like if it was actually written by Tao like dumbasses think it is.

nice job tao
this is really funny
im surprised thought catalog would let you do this on their site
i feel a little bit better toward thought catalog
ok

WHAT SAD CAT?

seems sweet

what the hell

he's saying your NY centric

hehe

sweet

hehe…

feel like wikileaks is international…

are you an idiot? (not checking to see if someone already asked this.)

i laughed when i saw “julian assange poison pill” for some reason

a/s/l?

this comment section is/makes me feel bleak

“Didion't” know Didion had anything to do w/Wikileaks. Is this a poem?

apparently all he is being charged with is having sex with a woman without a condom when she said she wanted to use a condom

this article was informative. You still know more than I do about this wikileaks

luv u, feel u!
