What the hell…

A web hosting outfit wants to legally adopt a child under the name of the company.

Weblinkhosting.com says that it wants the child to live at the web hosting data centre where he will be provided with food, clothing, shelter and love from the owner and employees.

The plan gets scarier when you read the company’s press release about the plan. “He (sic) can learn all there is to learn about his new mother, web hosting. Perhaps even work for the company in the later years and become a Linux guru,” the press release says.

Apparently the company has been working on the legal adoption process for six months. The deal being hatched out will involve the kid being “the logo and slogan” of the company when he has become old enough. Has the world gone mad? [Yes. Ed]
