The more and more I hear about the idiot Octomom the more and more furious I get.  You know what the book deals and movie deals and the attention teaches us all?

You will always be rewarded if you fuck up big enough.

People will donate and give her stuff because they “feel sorry for the children” yet isn’t that all this psychotic bitch wants is for people to “love” her, people to “feel sorry for her”.  Have you seen her begging website (I’m not going to link it here because I don’t want to increase her pagerank) that she will probably go and use the money for stuff other than food and diapers for her children?  Its fucking pittiful.  She is preying on the good nature of people to help out those in need and the only reason why people are helping her out is because of the children who have NO SAY and who had NO SAY in this whole ordeal.  Why punish the children when their mom is fucking crazy?

Think how public opinion would be different if she got on the interview and said “Listen, I fucked up.  I really didn’t want all of these kids, I just wanted one more and look what happened.” However she was smug and happy and ‘look at me world’.  Thats why people are pissed.

Oh, and now it comes out that the Octomom has been writing letters to Angelina Jolie.

The woman is a trainwreck.  I stand by my 1 year before she kills herself.

One of my really good friends bitched about how they weren’t getting any of my RPG mailing list emails (the list has like 5 people on it.  Too many to remember to mail individually).  They have an sbc-global.net email address *sigh* So I decided to log into the server and see whats going on.  This is what I received:
Jan 11 17:36:32 vadept qmail: 1231724192.132200 delivery 42192: failure: Connected_to_207.115.20.21_but_sender_was_rejected./Remote_host_said:_553_5.3.0_flpi189_-_n0C1aVjR003857,_DNSBL:521<_209.142.3.151_>_is_blocked.__For_information_see_http://att.net/blocks/

Hm, lets see how much FAIL AT&T can give me:

• http://att.net/blocks/ gives me a 404 error.  Way to go!
• My email server is on zero RBL’s and gets a clean bill of health from Spamhaus.
• Googling the error points me to: http://worldnet.att.net/general-info/521.html
• They have a link to a form there, its at http://www.att.net/general-info/bls_info/block_admin.html

Now here is where the snowball of stupdity just keeps on growing.  Now you have to paste in your error into the form box, but the form box is way too small to paste the entire message error in.  Furthermore it bitches if it sees any special characters (say, like < > which are PRESENT IN ITS FUCKING ERROR).  So in the “what changes have you made” section, I said that their error-message link was broken, the error pasting was too small, and i’m not on any RBL’s.

So if you’re an AT&T admin reading this, please fix your shit.  From one admin to another this looks really bad.  I know you’re a big badass telco/world-domination company, but not fixing this is just going to have my friend drop your service like a hooker with herpes and give their money to a company that has their shit together.
