- and by the way, some guy named Mike took up my cause and sent it out.
- His screen name is JMY2.

- The kingdom of AOL
- Roger B. Snow
- The Day, page A6
- February 23, 1998
-
- The following is an open letter to Stephen Case, president of America Online:
-
- I have no good words for what you have done to America Online subscribers. The
- $2 increase should not happen, because it not our fault, but due to your
- executive incompetence and your company's finger-pointing.
- What do I mean by finger-pointing? You offered us a service over a year ago
- which we thought was wonderful: $20 a month for unlimited use of the internet
- is pretty amazing. You place the blame on us, however, for sending so much e-
- mail and spending so much time on-line, and that's why you have to raise
- prices. That, Mr. Case, comes from the south end of a north-bound bull.
- First, when you provide such a service you have to realize that we are going
- to spend more time on-line. Second, the 22 million e-mail messages daily are
- no doubt due to several things:
- 1. You sell our e-mail addresses to solicitors;
- 2. E-mail solicitors inundate us with mail;
- 3. Cookies;
- 4. Spam.
- The majority of the above is from outside the AOL server. You have denigrated
- us to being your subjects - whoops, I mean subscribers - instead of what we
- truly are, citizens of a vast virtual community, a state of sorts if you will.
- The power of a ruler such as yourself comes from the consent of the governed.
- We should be given the power to change the "government" which affects our
- experience as AOL's virtual citizens. My advice to you sir, is to relinquish
- control of AOL to its citizens, the people you so degradingly call
- "subscribers." Well, Mr. Case, we do not subscribe to your brand of tyranny.
- I suggest a virtual community in which we, the citizens of AOL, become its
- owners and that the control of AOL should be a democracy rather than a Case-
- ocracy
- We shall not remain silent. If the $2 increase happens, there may perhaps be
- further action taken, which may include but is not limited to a loss of many
- "subscribers." Then, sir, where is your profit?
-
- So, Marc, put this everywhere!
-

- Hello. And welcome to ati issue 118.
- The last Sabbath in 1998's February. It's exactly 6pm.
- There will be no PAP #'s run this week. 119's will be downright huge.
- I chose to sit on it for now rather than try to bust it into three
- equal parts. Fone #'s, email addy's, faxes, "ever thin."
- You're going to double-downright dig it-- so get ready. Take a week
- off from #'s and let your "cup" be empty.
- PRIME OUTA HEAR.

- Thank you for writing to President Clinton via snail
- mail. Since June 1993, the Dissident has received over a gazillion
- million messages from people across the country and around the
- world. Online communication has become a pain to bring government
- and the people closer together.
-
- Because so many of you write, the Persistent cannot
- personally review each message, though he does laugh daily
- at his incoming correspondence. The White House Snailing
- staff helps him read and respond to the mail. All replies are
- mailed via the U.S. Postal Service. This is the only electronic
- message you will receive from whitehouse.gov. No other message
- purporting to be from the Resident or his staff with an address at
- whitehouse.gov is authentic. If you have received such a message,
- you have received a "spoof."
-
- We appreciate your interest in the worm of the Administration.

- Sincerely,

- The White Haus, Washing a DC-10., 20501 (Mrs. Gore), 20502
- -- On October 20, 1994, President Clinton and Vice President Gore
- opened a hot-dog stand called "Welcome to the White House:
- and it remains right where the streets are blockaded. One of the
- more popular spots on the Web. The White House home page provides,
- among other things, spam, diet spam and access to virtually all government
- information available on the Internet. Children especially enjoy the
- "XXXWhite House for Kids" feature -- look for your tour guide,
- Fishnets, the First Cat. "Welcome to the White House" can be accessed at:
- www.whitehouse.gov
- -- White How's documents and publications are available 24-7 just like
- the hot-dogs.

- Here's a POP Ed Piece.
- "...but one stock analyst who follows the premium and super-premium
- ice-cream market was sharply critical Tuesday of B&J's decision to
- declare the company "not for sale."
- "From a B&J shareholder perspective I will tell you that for a host
- of reasons being a part of Dreyer's as opposed to 'indy' is a good deal."
- said Lewis Alton, managing partner at the SanFrancisco based
- Eatemup-yum, corp.
- Why don't you enlighten us, Mr. Saltenstall? Let's see, can we give
- the smallest severence pays possible? Or none at all? Better still! Let's
- have a Ben plant in Mexico and a Jerry plant in Guatemala. We can
- have the Malaysia division handle the new bursting China market.
- Our markup can go from 100% (Prime calling that Good Capitalism)
- to 6000% (Prime calling that Bad Capitalism).
- Our stocks can go way up too. And perchance with a capitol gains tax,
- some of us can put 35 extra centavos in the stockings of all the people
- (Cohen and Greenfield chose not to fire!) this Christmas.
- What do you say? Good fantasy? Nice potential reality? Flog yourself
- Lewis Hellmans-Altavista-ton. You and all your greed-heads. When you
- all weren't seeming so "mainstream," I never was nervous. Now I'm
- afraid you've spread like a cancer. Maybe we should have voted for
- your kinds' banishment during the Jackson administration afterall.

-
- THIS PARODY'S FOR YOU.
- Another Great Song From PAP. (prime anarchist productions for those
- "not in the know.")
-
- To the Tune of Talk To The Animals
-
- If we could talk to the com-pu-ters, just imagine it,
- Chatting to a chump on IRC
- Imagine talking to an icon, Making sure your mic's on.
-
- What a neat achievement it would be.
- If we could mingle with the com-pu-ters, learn their languages,
-
- Maybe take a com-pu-ter degree.
- We'd study VB5 and fortran, basic, OS2, man.
- HTML, C++ and C.
- We would converse in hot keys with the mouse on.
- And we would curse in fluent spamaroo.
- If people asked us, "can you speak Bill Gatesean,"
- We'd say of course we can, "Oh, that's a feature, too."
- If we conferred via confrence-call, man to motherboard.
-
- Think of all the things we could discuss. If we could
- batch with the computers, patch with the computers,
- Edit, job and pub with the computers, And
- They could error check and spit out drek with us.
-
- Proudly brought to you by PPP, Prime Parody Productions.
- In conjuncture functionarial punctuary, with PAP, a subsidiary
- of Prime Anarchist Productions, ink.

- As you KNOW, the Granmes were this week. Prime Anarchist was there.
- Here we have some of his copy. We edited a bunch out for two reasons.
- 1) this issue is already long enough
- 2) he was a little, well, let's just say he was a little himself that
- nite.
- Hansen's voices changed already. They had to do their MMBop in F
- this time. And to top it off rather than learn transposing they just
- used capos. Oh well, they're kids. We'll forgive. Unlike Baby Shave,
- they actually played the guitars at least.
- We're not long on talent this year.
- Some WuFang hiphopist militia member jumped up on stage confusing
- everybody. Even Kelsey Grammy lost his composure. Shawn Culvert didn't
- know what to say, but she accepted her song of the week anyhow.
- Perhaps the closest to a drive-by the granmes have seen since the KKK
- wasted that little Afrikan American girl outside Radio City Music Hall
- What was that, 87? 88? Oops. Libel alert. Was that White Aryan Resistance?
- Hammerskins? Oh well.
- (something about NuFang being good for the children, and paying
- too much for his duds or something.) What a yutz.
- No one's hearing that, punk. Next time you hold my viewing habits
- hostage at least find something to say rather than shouting out shouts,
- ok?
- Doesn't anybody wear prints or plaids anymore? Black, black, black.
- Men in black, women in black. Waddawe think we're all Johnny Cash???
- And while we're on garb, what's with everyone wearing Miracle Ear (tm)?
- New monitors? Is nothing exempt from HiTech hysteria? Let's go all the
- way. Go on. Implant a teleprompter behind my left eye. Gimme a jolt every
- now and again. I'll keep singing.
- Dr. Pavlov, are you there?
- I know, instead of masking tape on the floor, let's use General
- Positioning Satellites one, two AND three, eh? Yeah, move back a little
- more, more, more; you're getting warmer. To the right.
- SOY BOMB. Hey good dancing, but get some clothes on, dude.
- Bob D'illin. What can I say. Masterful. I'm sick of love too, Bob. I'm
- sick of a lot of things.
- That's why I'm all in black.
- OK. I figured out all this black dudz and that jazz.
- Teen angst - come of age.
- Yeah, just shoot me in the head now. I'm angry.
- So Barbara Stagefreight was prob busy puking guts out while Ceiling
- Dior sang both their parts.
- Did Mick Jagged look like shit or what? Waving his baggy old arms in the
- air looking like a cross between Billy Crustal's Aunt Yudie's triceps and
- my Great Aunt Anna's flabby shoulders.
- Fiona Macintosh, what's with the extra arm flailing around? And your
- hair is just plain spooky. So what if you've got a hot body and you know
- it. A sexy voice? What you need is a good defense. Maybe John Elway or
- Brett Favre'll be willing to cross over, huh? One look at you (before
- that spastic arm thing- wtr u n spd?) and they'll probably say YEAH -
- Erikah Badu, I'm almost in love again. Lift me away with that hat.
- Oh and Puff Dragon? Shut up. Get off my cereal box too.
- Will somebody tell me what Tara Lyposuski has to do with the
- Granmes?!? And don't give me this "she's music on ice" crap. Get her
- off my teletube. What's next? She's not singing duets with Vanessa Williams
- soon is she? Did I hear she's pregnant with a space alien?
- And now here's President Hussein and Norman Schwartzkov for Music
- In the Schools.
- I'm not going to say word one about Fleetwood Mick being older than
- rock n roll itself. Did someone say "dirt?" Good I didn't hafta.
- Or "God" for that matter. Oops, sorry John. Does the guitarist's hair
- make you think of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," or am I imagining
- it?
- Tara, does your 3rd grade teacher know you're not doing your math
- homework tonite?
- Well, she announced James Tyler, one of the best songwriters alive,
- behind Tracy Chapstick, to name a few. So Tara, you're not a complete
- waste of shaved ice and zamboni's afterall.
- Yo Yo Mama got at least two awards, that's cool.
- Cindi Leper, <seguimcts - who Crustal. Is that "videographers meet
- SPY Magazine? Seperated at birth. They both have those Bette David Eyes.
- Thank you Columbia, Thank you sony. Thank you DVD. Raytheon, Sikorski,
- Walmart. Thank you.
- Thank you. Thank you all. I'd like to thank GE, Westinghaus, God,
- The Ayatoldya, Kenny Gee, Walt Didnee World, Continent Airlines, Sun
- City Hospitality, Intentional Paper, MacLibels, Aetna Schmetna,
- Micro Sosoft, Kodiak, Warrior Brothers. Thank you.
- And all the little people. Thank you.
- Thank you; you can downsize now: the granmes are over.

- PATTERNED AFTER "DEATH NEWS" by Marco. For Allen.
-
- Showing up home from Underground Campus,
- Email from fellow poet Chad says,
- "Allen Ginsberg is dead," no accent.
- EMAIL DOESN'T HAVE AN ACCENT.
- "Allen Ginsberg is dead?"
- Holy Wah, I muster my best Wisconsin dialect.
- I wanted the old guy to live forever.
- Oh well.
- That morning Allen made just about every
- Pape in the country.
- I even heard a rumor The NYTimes finally
- Reviewed "Collected Poems, 1947-1980."
- This morning.
- Ginsberg dead.
- The old guy's in the Big Dipper now.
- Probably schtupping W.C. Williams
- Discussing plums and trees and life
- In the universe.
- I'm glad I wasn't in Paterson, NJ
- Or Boulder Coloraday,
- New Amsterdammit that day.
- Be some cryin' eyes all about.
- Allen.
- I considered becoming gay or growing
- A beard in your honor.
- But no. You get-
- This poem instead.
