It is a bit like these inexpendable "malware-removers" that you must install when your comp is infected.

I received an email from a pokerstars asking me to send them a scan of my passport, driving licence, household utility bills etc to verify my identity. upon reading the plain text email, it seemed like some kind of scam so I deleted it immediately, as who in their right mind is going to divulge such sensitive info I thought, especially as ive had an account with them for 8 years. As it happens it was a genuine request and the upshot of my refusal to comply meant they blocked my account and have banned me from the site lol, citing it as a 'Legal Requirement' so I cashed out my huge $72 balance. No-ones ive talked to about this would send anyone such sensitive stuff over the net, especially in an unsecured email, but plenty must be doing so as I don't see the site closing or changing its policy - BTW no other poker site has requested this and i've not been accused of any dodgy dealings such as money laundering - anyone any thoughts?

From their FAQ[^] it appears this is an Isle of Man requirement. Other sites may be governed by other nations.
Of course, I also would have cashed out instead of sending them copies of such documents.

It is yet another spoof of a viral publicity about strangers kissing for the first time.
I'd rather be phishing!

There was a classic art exhibit years ago of two people slapping each other, can't remember what it was (or where, or when, and a quick google revealed nothing) but I distinctly remember seeing a video of it related to some weird exploration of different forms of art. Well, whatever.

I find the sound of strangers slapping each other oddly satisfying... Please don't judge me 
It's an OO world.

I won't judge you, so long as you don't judge me for the bits where one of the participants gets punched in the face

On a serious note, this is a real sociological subject : slapping someone you first met is apparently more intimate a move towards him/her as kissing them.

Part of Anger Management class?
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

Seems they're pretty good at managing their anger - I'll have to admit that I would probably get a wee bit miffed if somebody started to slap me around ...
I say probably, because I haven't all that much experience in that regard ...

I've been slapped some between the USMC and two ex-wives.

And the moral of the story is don't get married, stick with the USMC

If it's arty-farty enough, it does not need to be explained!

Has no explanation, like that "Nude Dating" show I saw advertised on VH1 while watching Styx's Pieces of Eight and The Grand Illusion albums play-out concert.
Found this slapping nonsense actually fun to watch by muting its audio and launching Slayer's "Postmortem" on another browser window/tab

My coffee machine went a wee bit t'up so I sent it off to the manufactures to fix it as they are they only ones what can do it; allegedly.
They called me today to inform me that one of the pumps was FUBAR and they wouldn't be able to get a replacement part for some time.
Oh.
So they'll send me a new one if that's okay with me. Of course I insisted they repair my 5 year old machine; not. One of the temperature gauges is broken, the other is temperamental, and some of the enamel is falling off.
