Hungary Destroys All Monsanto GMO Maize Fields

Everybody’s fired.

In an effort to rid the country of Monsantos GMO products, Hungary has stepped up the pace. This looks like its going to be another slap in the face for Monsanto. A new regulation was introduced this March which stipulates that seeds are supposed to be checked for GMO before they are introduced to the market. Unfortunately, some GMO seeds made it to the farmers without them knowing it.

Is WooMe deliberately breaking its unsubscribe links?

So this is what a BS/BA at a top tier school gets you these days, eh?

These guys are pretty scandalous. I’ve never signed up for their service, but they trick new users into letting them scrape their e-mail contacts.

And there is something off about their faux Transatlantic demeanor…

This unsubscribe link has some obvious flaws in it; it looks like a Python variable name is coming through their code as a literal.

Tell me, buddy, is the ‘username_encoded’ supposed to be part of the URL show up in the e-mail? Who’s making these e-mails?

Somebody call the FTC.

I’m going to make three predictions:

1. They will say they are not legally responsible their e-mail campaign.
3. They intend to IPO at $25 / share.
2. They use Python.
4. They are full of shit because this URL is deliberately laden with tracking parameters (current Google Analytics campaign ID info).

Full URI as it appeared in the e-mail:

Truly, I feel the world is a little darker since this has come to light.
