USB - Satan's Data Connection

[Mafiaaffe]

Evangelical Christians in Brazil have apparently banned the use of USB connections after claiming the technology is the mark of Satan-worshippers (Hat tip: Fernando Frias). Apparently the revelation came after the evangelists noticed that the USB symbol resembles a trident. Presumably they're not great fans of Britain's ballistic missiles either.

Just because the symbol is similar to that of a trident it has been banned, I think that this is not about following the religion but it is about narrowing the resources to refrain from getting through the correct path. Such narrowing of the resources will just lead to much more complexity binding the people and their thoughts.

I thought that it was a joke seeing that the website does host fake headlines.
