Meet "Chippie"...

[delfine]

Latest RFID-news. Unbelievable:

"Many of them were eager to get implanted with the chip on the spot. “It felt like a pinch”, explained Doug Walker who attended a recent Chippie seminar a Carbon County, Wyoming school. Holding up his slightly swollen left hand bearing the tiny hole where the needle had been inserted he said. “Now I can get free candy every time me and mommy go to the bank or the grocery store!”, he beamed proudly. “Chippie is my new best friend who lives inside of me!”" - See more at: http://nationalreport.net/rfid-mascot-chippie-nationwide-tour/#sthash.BA2p8XPL.dpuf

It's a satire. Untrue.

Oh. What a relief. :) I saw this the other day: http://theviralpost.com/multiple-school-districts-implant-rfid-chip-in-students-without-parental-consent/
Is that also satire?

I was like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

Satire does that to you sometimes :P

[Snowflower]

Yes, delfine, that was the article that caught me. I just couldn't believe it, so went looking. It's on snoops as a hoax.

Satire or not, it is still somethignt hat has been put out there that can be accessed by the public and brings this into more mainstream. could be a good thing, could be bad.
