Fine Print Says Game Store Owns Your Soul 262
mr_sifter writes "UK games retailer GameStation revealed that it legally owns the souls of thousands of customers, thanks to a clause it secretly added to the online terms and conditions for its website. The 'Immortal Soul Clause' was added as part of an attempt to highlight how few customers read the terms and conditions of an online sale. GameStation claims that 88 percent of customers did not read the clause, which gives legal ownership of the customer's soul over to the UK-based games retailer. The remaining 12 percent of customers however did notice the clause and clicked the relevant opt-out box, netting themselves a £5 GBP gift voucher in the process."

Why would a Wookiee, an eight-foot tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of two-foot tall Ewoks?...

This contract is not valid, the ritual to get a hold of a human soul is more complicated than a simple "click here". First and foremost, the contract must be signed with blood.

Actually, not true. My understanding of Christianity is that your soul belongs to you.
Cool, that means I can downloaded another soul through a torrent.

Please learn proper logic before you attempt to spread hate under its name.
Afterwards, I suppose, you can do so.
Anyway, that isn't "internally consistent." The same meaningless jump could be said that Jehovah created souls BECAUSE he needs them. Depending on your usage of need. Plus, there are a billion other reasons to create things. You write code. Is it because you don't need code? Would you never have anyone gift you code?
This is some of the worst "logic" I've heard...well...since 5 minutes ago when I read another smug ignorant know-it-all use "logic" to "best" "religion in entirety"
