It's been a while since my last post in this series, so I thought I'd write one.

In this post, I will explore why I do not agree to The aidenpons Waffle EULA, created by aidenpons.

Fun Fact #74: This Waffle is provided as-is, without any form of warranty. Grammar-Nazis Inc. is not responsible for the uses of this Waffle, which may include, but are not limited to, mass destruction, death by choking, murder, usurping politicians, usurping kings, airbombing, and playing. By eating the Waffle you agree to be bound by this End-User License Agreement. Furthermore, the Waffle's recipe is copyright of Grammar-Nazis Inc. Illegal distribution and reverse decompiling of the Waffle is prohibited and offenders will be prosecuted to the maximum extent under law. "Law" includes whatever the writer of this EULA decides is fit, as well as the ancient Chinese customs regarding the Longwang. Unauthorised copying of this Waffle is also prohibited. If you are not satisfied with the Product, go dig a trench exactly one meter wide and twenty centimetres long using a pickaxe. Once this has been accomplished, pour a 590g bottle of Watties' BBQ Sauce^© and distribute it evenly, Fill the rest of the trench with water. From there, put the Product inside the trench, then contact Grammar-Nazis Inc by any means, including outrageous spelling. Failure to comply places you under Kazakstanian law, where you will be prosecuted up to the maximum extent available.

You may keep a copy of the Waffle for backup purposes only. The waffle can be copied and preserved in several places as long as one and only one copy is in use. Upon returning the Waffle, if you are unsatisfied, you must destroy all copies, backup or active, of the Waffle. Failure to do so will place you under ancient Celtic lore and you shall be prosecuted to the maximum extent available. If you have not read all of this and are still agreeing to the EULA, may your liver be pecked out my a giant eagle and your bed shall become explosive. Failure to read the EULA completely means that you obviously have better things to do than waste your time looking at fine print. Failure to read the EULA will also mean that your name shall be wiped out forever from the Book of Life, and you shall be thrown into the fiery furnace where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. BY ACCEPTING THIS EULA YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS AN CONDITIONS. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT THE WAFFLE WILL BE VIRTUALLY BOUND TO THE EULA AS THIS IS A BUNCH OF PIXELS ON A SITE DEDICATED TO ROCK RAIDERS^©.

Let's break this down and see why I do not agree to this Waffle EULA, shall we?

• It is disguised as a "Fun Fact". Deceptive marketing.
  
• I had no idea a single digital waffle could usurp kings and be a murderer.
  
• "reverse decompiling" Since decompiling means to reverse a process as a way to reach the original product, "reverse decompiling" means I cannot reverse the reversing process in order to make clone waffles. That means I cannot make new waffles from scratch in an attempt to duplicate this waffle.
  
• "Grammar-Nazis Inc", "Unauthorised", "centimetres"
  
  1. This.
  2.For being a "Grammar-Nazi" company, I'd think they would also care about their spelling, unless spelling is not part of their mission statement (I happen to know for a fact it is).
  
• "Watties' BBQ Sauce^©"Ayliffe demands this is changed to Meme Face Homepride Fred this very instant.
  
• "You may keep a copy of the Waffle for backup purposes only. The waffle can be copied and preserved in several places as long as one and only one copy is in use." But I was only awarded one waffle, and if I cannot make duplicates of the waffle as stated earlier, how can I make backups of the waffle?
  
• "Failure to read the EULA completely means that you obviously have better things to do than waste your time looking at fine print." Guess I don't have anything better to do right now, do I?
  
• "Failure to read the EULA will also mean that your name shall be wiped out forever from the Book of Life, and you shall be thrown into the fiery furnace where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth." Actually, it's the Lake of Fire where there is eternal death and suffering, but this works. #BibleKnowledge
  
• "ROCK RAIDERS^© Oh yea, DDI registered that, didn't they? Then this EULA is under violation of the DDI EULA for not giving proper attribution, thereby making the entire EULA null and void, setting me free to do whatever I want with these bunch of pixels.
  

Well that was an... interesting post. Moving on. (LEGO Island 2 EULA anyone? )
