Why laugh at someone who is trying to compute. Code is code and RMS may not be sexy. I appreciate the freedom that GNU/UNIX/Linux gives in order to think freely.

I don't know who made rms.sexy or why they made it, but I don't think it was meant to evoke an outpouring of respect.  We aren't mocking him but we are laughing at the web page.  I'm pretty sure that's what they were shooting for.

Mocking RMS seems low; I find the topics and passion about the operating system relevant to some form of respect.

I don't know what is weirder, the fact that there is a slide show of him

watched the whole thing :)

It was pretty short, so I saw all of it, too.  The thing that would be
weird is if you watched it twice.  ;-)
