Who comes up with these names?!?!?

"Securely Protect Yourself Against Cyber Trespass Act" (aka Spy Act). What kind of idiot thinking brought that one up? It's like they went, "Hey. People are complaining about spyware so I want to make a Spy Act. Hmm.... what acronym will spell out Spy Act....?" If you think about it, the whole thing is actually called the Spy Act Act.

I want that job. Give me a law you want and I can bring up a ridiculous name and make it sound feasible. Want a law banning Christmas Carolling in your neighborhood because you think the singing is lousy? Here's one:

The Listening of Outside Unwarranted Singing at Yuletide Act (Lousy Act).

How about dogs crapping on your yard? Want a law for that? here's one:

The Pet's Objectionable Objects on Property Act (Poop Act).

The possibilities are endless!!!
