Signs of the End Times, #127

Grapes with an EULA.  No, really:  "The recipient of the produce contained in this package agrees not to propagate or reproduce any portion of the produce, including (but not limited to) seeds, stems, tissue and fruit."  What makes it particularly magnificent is that they're seedless grapes, unpropagatable and unreproducible, making the boilerplate EULA entirely vacuous and moronic (like that Apple one for Windows iTunes that said you can only install it on an Apple computer).

Maybe the Mark of the Beast is actually a licence agreement?

Does anyone, anywhere, ever, think that grapes with a freaking EULA are a good, valid, necessary thing?  I'd love to hear it.  I'd love to see the court transcripts, too, when the GIAA take Little Timmy to court for planting one in a yoghurt pot on his windowsill. 

To borrow from Bill (maythegodsblesshimandkeephimumdead) Hicks: "People who write EULAs:  Kill yourselves."
