"I'd like to correct the record on this story. We do NOT sell kidnapping roleplay packages. The user paid for a premium Daring Rescue Package. These do not become available unless the user spends two consecutive months as a net cost to our company. The user was given multiple reminders that he might want to cut back on usage or purchase a premium plan. Even then, he could have opted for a free Daring Rescue package and taken his chances with the base 1% chance of untraumatized recovery this package offers. Shuffling user responses under these high-pressure conditions is vital to improving our training data, and helps our users learn to deal with loss of important relationships. We are a relationship training service, not a replacement for them, and this user wanted the equivalent of a college degree.".

On a more serious note, anyone know why unethical business plans are so much more fun to write? I always find myself giggling when these ideas come up.



ethical ones are fairly straightforward, and will often be the same.

unethical ones can range from not-so-nice to mind-bogglingly evil, and in all sorts of "fun", different, unique ways.
