Made stupid to catch stupid

Nigerian scammers make their letters ridiculous to weed out smart people, and trap the stupid people:

Nigerian scam letters include carefully designed flaws, complete with misspellings and pidgin English, in order to weed out the intelligent and leave only the most vulnerable targets, new research says.

Offers of millions of dollars from a Nigerian prince are intentionally unbelievable in a scam technique perfected to target the vulnerable, gullible and elderly, according to the study.

A research paper by Microsoft’s Machine Learning Department, entitled ‘Why do Nigerian scammers say they are from Nigeria?’, has found the formula is a cost effective way at “reducing the false positives”.

“Far-fetched tales of West African riches strike as comical… (but) our analysis suggests that is an advantage to the attacker, not a disadvantage,” wrote principal researcher Cormac Hurley.

“Since his attack has a low density of victims, the Nigerian scammer has an overriding need to reduce the false positives.

“By sending an email that repels all but the most gullible, the scammer gets the most promising marks to self-select, and tilts the true to false positive ration in his favour.”

Human Rights tribunal sent discrimination case

[Imported from Whale Oil Beef Hooked on Blogger]

A probation officer who sparked a row when she refused to sit behind men at a Maori ceremony has gone to the Human Rights Review Tribunal to get some satisfaction.

Ms Bullock was given an oral warning for refusing to sit behind men at a poroporoaki, or farewell, for a group of male offenders at a graduation ceremony last December.

Quite rightly she complained it was sexist.

Ludicrously, the Corrections Department disciplined her for her insensitivity to Maori protocol and for embarrassing the department. I mean really, for fucks sake this is taking things a little too far.

After Ms Bullock persistently (and IMHO justifiably) spoke to journalists about the incident, she was suspended on full pay.

So lets get this straight;

Maori Protocol is disrespectful to Women, but that ok because they are only women.
Maori Protocol is getting elected with half as many votes as anyone else, but thats ok becasue we have had Maori seats for ever.
Maori Protocol is calling anyone who speaks out about their own rights “Racist” as though Maori are the only people with rights in this country.

Perhaps it should be this way;
Maori Protocol is sexist
Maori Protocol is discrimination
Maori Protocol is racist

One law for all.
