To get bored a just hit “I accept” Some friends an I made an experiment, sending terms and coditions of use of a service we were supposed to offer in an online service, terms included but were not limited to:
wash our car every weekend with a list of products that we were not going to provide

half of their paychecks
a paragraph of cinderella
