They are showing everyone what RealID is going to be like by releasing everyone's personal info.

The ESRB violated the privacy of the very people who were the most afraid of having their privacy violated.

How ironic

There most likely wont be an repercussions, but if I was part of that email list, I would totally hit the reply all button and type "A/S/L?" for kicks.

The use of words expressing something other than their literal INTENTION.

Now THAT

IRONY!

Don't insult yourself like that. Any twit that has a corporate job and can't handle using the damn 'bcc' function on something like this doesn't deserve to be employed there. Good lord.

This reminds me of when one of my old companies I used to work for was having one of their national sales conferences coming up, and a mass email was sent out to everyone asking what size they needed in the branded jackets they'd be giving out. One of our practice directors in WA, Brian, god bless 'em, hit reply all stating that he would "definitely need one of the XXL jackets"

A nice punchy "BAM!" sound effect would go well with that article. Oh, sweet irony, how you continue to amuse. May you never stop at the magic you do.

Horribly ironic.

These things happen though. Happens all the time at the college I work for. I actually have the same first initial and last name as one of the provosts at our college, and therefore a very similar email address, and I get privileged stuff meant for him at times. The last one was a spreadsheet detailing the next semesters budget for the entire campus.

Not exactly something a lowely part time IRT is supposed to see X_X.

IRONY!

Really though, would I be worried about someone that has my email address? They can spam me all they want the messages would just be going to my junkmail box.

Although, some email is linked to profiles where the real name is available and from that I guess they could track you down. Still a stretch though.

The end of a looooong Monday for some poor soul.

I'm pretty sure no one has been successfully sued for failing to use BCC, but I wish they could at least be flogged for the inevitable "Oops, sorry everyone! Not enough coffee!" message that comes immediately afterward.

I remember back in 2002 when my University did the same thing with... I kid you not... 14,000 official student emails that are also our login usernames. "Why is this 10 line message over a megaby.... oh dear."

See, complaining on the internet actually DOES do something occasionally....apparently that something being your email address released for all to see.

Particularly delicious irony.

Leave.
No, don't ask "leave what?" just please assume I mean leave everything.
It would be preferable if you could somehow find a way to stop existing but I'm not picky.
