Don't be Adobe

I know that the famous stupid Bob Denver TV show was Gilligan's Island, but I wish it had been the other one so we could make cruel jests about "Adobe Gillis."* According to the tech support staff here at Valentine's Castle (womzilla), Adobe software messes up everything it touches, and now they have a clever plan to use DRM** to force everyone to buy their new product.

* But Dobie Gillis was the only thing Max Shulman ever did that I didn't like. It was my introduction to sociobiology, telling my impressionable teen self that if I did not succeed in society's terms, I would never ever get laid.

**Just as DARE stands for Don't Allow Reasonable Experimentation, DRM stands for Don't Read Much.

Thanx to andrewducker
