Most people who do morally repugnant things would have higher moral standards themselves if they weren't trying so hard to offend someone.
The very fact that they know the most morally repugnant things to do indicates that they know better.

Get the Ten minutes after ten till nowmug. If Me, Myself & Irene had poked fun of a person in a wheelchair instead of one with a mental disorder, the cinemas wouldn't have dared to show it.

Get the Me, Myself & Irenemug. The Home Computer, aka Personal Computer, of the late 1970s. Notable models were the 400, 800, and 800XL. The 1200XL actually came out before the 800XL and was a joke. The 65XE was simply an 800XL made over to resemble a Commodore 64. All of these models included a game cartridge slot that was compatible with the then-current Atari game cartridges.
The 800XL came with 64k of RAM. Most users wondered what we would ever do with that much memory. An external 5.5 inch floppy disk or cassette deck drive was optional.
The entire computer was built into the keyboard. Atari computers generally used an external converter that reproduced both video and audio through a television.
Atari computers rapidly lost market share in the 1980s due to Atari's preoccupation with video games and game consoles so that when Atari employees Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak developed the first Apple computer, they had to start their own company to produce it.
Atari was the Home Computer to have until the Apple came out.
As was standard for the era of Atari's golden age, their computers only had rudimentary operating systems, so most operating instructions were written into each software application.
Their primary competitor, Commodore, entered the market late, with a Home Computer that wasn't good for much besides games and greeting cards, even though Atari was still better at those tasks due to better color and sound support. For a time, more Commodores were sold than Ataris due to better marketing. Other players in that era included the Timex/Sinclair and the TI 99/A.
Atari eventually developed IBM-compatible PCs in the late 1980s, but it was too little, and far too late.

Get the Atari Computermug. 1. A verbal or written flub-up in which one says what one really meant, rather than what one meant to say, by accidentally adding or subtracting a word or substituting a similar word that means something that indicates what one really thinks. The phenomenon is named after Sigmund Freud, who first described it.
2. Sigmund Freud in exhibitionistic drag.

1. I didn't mean to say the math teacher was fat. It was only a Freudian slip that I said her triangle had a hippopotamus when I meant to say hypotenuse.
2. No RL example known. If you do see it, snap that Kodak moment and post it.

Get the Freudian slipmug. A web site that turns its nose up at legitimate, fully-functional browsers, such as IE 7 or Firefox simply because the webmaster won't tolerate his site being viewed using off-brand browsers and can't be bothered to update the site's script to recognize legitimate browsers.
Some monopolistic corporations, such as MyCrudSoft, are browser snobs. You have to do business with them on their terms because they don't even need to care whether you like doing business with them. It's their way making sure you know that they don't have to give a crap about you.

Get the browser snobmug. A quantification of one's moral standards and moral values, and the lengths to which one will go to uphold them in daily life.
If you expect high moral standards of others but don't live by themself, your moral character is useless.
