Especially those in the Unpaid Experimental Subject profession. And if they determine that Ada is carcenogenic, I think there should be a series of lawsuits by municipalities against the Ada manufacturers for causing them to spend money on public health care. And next, we go after McDonald's for using a clown to sell known health hazzards to kids! (the bastards!) Possibly a few good multi-billion dollar lawsuits over Ada might do a lot to publicize the language. But who would sue over what?
