This from a guy who uses Tesco as his ISP?
Jeez!

 

Who the hell are you?

 

Doesn't look like a motorcycle jacket to me, and Belstaff say it's an
adventure jacket.

Next.

Nobody important, who are you?

 

A jacket for the outdoors

You could buy it,
and get out there and get a life

 

None of your business

 

FFS, what the heck have you been taking? It's the *name* of the
jacket, to distinguish it from a slightly different waterproof bike
jacket, just as Trialmaster was the jacket name of the original bike
wax jacket. Anyway, isn't it a bit of an adventure flinging yourself
into a field from your motorbike?

Real burds don't take hormones, they rage naturally

 

Welcome to the Internet.

No one here likes you.

We're going to offend, insult, abuse, and belittle the living hell
out of you. And when you rail against us with "**** YOU YOU GEEK WIMP
SKATER GOTH LOSER PUNK FAG BITCH!1!!", we smile to ourselves. We laugh
at you because you don't get it. Then we turn up the heat, hoping to
draw more entertainment from your irrational fuming.

We will judge you, and we will find you unworthy. It is a trial by
fire, and we won't even think about turning down the flames until you
finally understand.

Some of you are smart enough to realize that, when you go online,
it's like entering a foreign country ... and you know better than to
ignorantly **** with the locals. You take the time to listen and think
before speaking. You learn, and by learning are gladly welcomed.

For some of you, it takes a while, then one day it all dawns on you -
you get it, and are welcomed into the fold.

Some of you give up, and we breathe a sigh of relief - we didn't want
you here anyway. And some of you just never get it. The offensively
clueless have a special place in our hearts - as objects of ridicule.
We don't like you, but we do love you.

You will get mad. You will tell us to go to hell, and call us "nerds"
and "geeks". Don't bother ... we already know exactly what we are.
And, much like the way hardcore rap has co-opted the word "nigger",
turning an insult around on itself to become a semiserious badge of
honor, so have we done.

"How dare you! I used to beat the crap out of punks like you in high
school/college!" You may have owned the playing field because you were
an athlete. You may have owned the student council because you were
more popular. You may have owned the hallways and sidewalks because
you were big and intimidating. Well, welcome to our world.

Things like athleticism, popularity, and physical prowess mean
nothing here. We place no value on them ... or what car you drive, the
size of your bank account, what you do for a living or where you went
to school.

Allow us to introduce you to the concept of a "meritocracy" - the
closest thing to a form of self-government we have. In The United
Meritocratic nation-states of the Internet, those who can do, rule.
Those who wish to rule, learn. Everyone else watches from the stands.

You may posses everything in the off-line world. We don't care. You
come to the Internet penniless, lacking the only thing of real value
here: knowledge.

"Who cares? The Internet isn't real anyway!" This attitude is
universally unacceptable. The Internet is real. Real people live
behind those handles and screen names. Real machines allow it to
exist. It's real enough to change government policy, real enough to
feed the world's hungry, and even, for some of us, real enough to earn
us a paycheck. Using your own definition, how "real" is your job? Your
stock portfolio? Your political party? What is the meaning of "real",
anyway?

Do I sound arrogant? Sure ... to you. Because you probably don't get
it yet.

If you insist on staying, then, at the very least, follow this
advice:

1) No one, ESPECIALLY YOU, will make any law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of
the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a
redress of grievances.

2) Use your brain before ever putting fingers to keys.

3) Do you want a picture of you getting anally raped by Bill Clinton
while you're performing oral sex on a cow saved to hundreds of
thousands of people's hard drives? No? Then don't put your fucking
picture on the Internet. We can, will, and probably already HAVE
altered it in awful ways. Expect it to show up on an equally offensive
website.

4) Realize that you are never, EVER going to get that, or any other,
offensive web page taken down. Those of us who run those sites LIVE to
piss off people like you. Those of us who don't run those sites
sometimes visit them just to read the hatemail from fools like you.

5) Oh, you say you're going to a lawyer? Be prepared for us to giggle
with girlish delight, and for your lawyer to laugh in your face after
he explains current copyright and parody law.

6) The Web is not the Internet. Stop referring to it that way.

7) We have already received the e-mail you are about to forward to
us. Shut up.

8) Don't reply to spam. You are not going to be "unsubscribed".

9) Don't ever use the term "cyberspace" (only William Gibson gets to
say that, and even he hasn't really used it for two or three books
now). Likewise, you prove yourself a marketing-hype victim if you ever
use the term "surfing".

10) With one or two notable exceptions, chat rooms will not get you
laid.

11) It's a hoax, not a virus warning.

12) The internet is made up of thousands of computers, all connected
but owned by different people. Learn how to use *your* computer before
attempting to connect it to someone else's.

13) The first person who offers to help you is really just trying to
**** with you for entertainment. So is the second. And the third. And
me.

14) Never insult someone who's been active in any group longer than
you have. You may as well paint a damn target on your back.

15) Never get comfortable and arrogant behind your supposed mask of
anonymity. Don't be surprised when your name, address, and home phone
number get thrown back in your smug face. Hell, some of us will
snail-mail you a printed satellite photograph of your house to drive
the point home. Realize that you are powerless if this happens ...
it's all public information, and information is our stock and trade.

16) No one thinks you are as cool as you think you are.

17) You aren't going to win any argument that you start.

18) If you're on AOL, don't worry about anything I've said here.
You're already a fucking laughing stock, and there's no hope for you.

19) If you can't take a joke, immediately sell your computer to
someone who can. RIGHT NOW.

Pissed off? It's the TRUTH, not these words, that hurts your
feelings. Don't ever even pretend like I've gone & hurt them.

We don't like you. We don't want you here. We never will. Save us all
the trouble and go away.

 

I'm going to bed now. Ride safely now.

Ooh, those products must be pretty new.

Lozzo, was it Belstaff that went tits up or was it another company? If
I'm not too mistaken I think the brand has just been stuck on those
products.

But I could be wrong. It's not the first time.

 

Took you a while to Google that didn't it?

 

Where have oyu all gone?
I thought you tough biker types would put up a better fight than this?

 

Shh, I've gone to bed.

 

Please remember what you posted here for originally. You want to flog
a stinking old jacket. You have posted your spam, I'm sure your
auction will get pulled because of spamming if anyone cared enough to
report it.

But it's late now and we've all got to get to work in the morning to
help pay for your fucking kiddies education and food and various other
'benefits' for the hard of thinking by our taxes.

I'm really going to bed now.

Belstaff got bought by an Italian company who now produce "adventure"
fashion wear. None of it is advetised as bike wear AIUI.

 

Going to bed at 9.30???
LOL you're a real hard partying type aren't you?

 

Fucking Ada, even if Belstaff did go tits up in more recent times (of
which I am not aware), they were still functioning very well in the
'70s, when those jackets were produced.

I had a set of Belstaff soft panniers for over 15 years until recently,
when I sold them on Ebay for lots of money to someone in Italy who
bought them because, for some reason, the Europeans go mad on original
brit bike stuff including accessories and clothing.

Tell you what, go onto the Belstaff company website and learn a bit
about their history. Of course, there is no mention whatsoever of a
take-over or having to sell.
