Universal war on FUN

The Universal war on FUN, also the TI-FUN War, Texas Instruments war on FUN, RIA's war of liberation from FUN, or the RIA-FUN War, is a war between Texas Instruments (TI) and FUN. On June 20, 2007 the Random Insanity Alliance announced their support for Texas Instruments. Various alliances and individuals pledged their support for the RIA and the war in the announcement.

RIA Declaration
Official RIA Declaration of War [ (>^_(>O.O)> ]*

It has come to our attention that a great crime has been committed against decency and good taste. Action has been taken that threatens to plunge everything we hold dear into chaos and a shroud of despair. I am speaking, of course, of that travesty currently known as...

...summer vacation. This period of frivolity and mental stagnation is, in the opinion of this alliance, responsible for much of the crime, hunger, disease, death, reality television, and conflict that so plague the modern world.

It is with much pride that we announce our support for the great people at Texas Instrunments (TI)in the universal war on FUN. No music will be heard, no parties thrown and certainly no online games played as long as we stand together in face of this terrible enemy. As for the more minor conflict raging across Planet Bob, we wish our good friends in the war well, but we'll be sitting this one out guys. We already have our hands full.
