From BoingBoing yesterday comes this great bit of news about company called You’ve Been Left Behind, which, for a small fee and all of your personal bank codes/email passwords/trace-your-housekey-on-this-piece-of-paper, will notify all of your heathen friends and family what to do with your leftover money/pets/bibles after you’ve been “raptured” and they’ve been left behind. It’s kind of cool how it would theoretically work:
“We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the “Rapture” of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system”
And also:
“You will also be able to give them some help in living out their remaining time. In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables, and powers of attorneys’ (you won’t be needing them any more, and the gift will drive home the message of love). There won’t be any bodies, so probate court will take 7 years to clear your assets to your next of Kin. 7 years of course is all the time that will be left. So, basically the Government of the AntiChrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way.”
Hey Pete, just let me know where you’ve hid your weed.
So do we really expect the AntiChrist to honor these documents? Will he cower and cringe before the awesome might of the …. NOTARY PUBLIC?!!!!!!
