Maybe people need to read the terms and conditions a bit better.
A computer game retailer revealed that it legally owns the souls of thousands of online shoppers, thanks to a clause in the terms and conditions agreed to by online shoppers.
More here.
If I were a religious man I’d say that they couldn’t have sold their souls, because your soul isn’t yours to sell to begin with.

Thanks, Bedazzled!
That’s too bad. They probably could have made some money reselling them on eBay.
Are the owners of that website going to go to hell?
Nothing in the Bible that says it’s bad to buy souls!
What about selling souls? Soul mongering could be a good career.

The terms of service were updated on April Fool’s Day as a gag, but the retailer did so to make a very real point: No one reads the online terms and conditions of shopping, and companies are free to insert whatever language they want into the documents.

I don’t think that proves his point at all. If it was me and I had read the T&C I would’ve signed it anyway, because it’s clearly a joke that has no real consequence.
Especially since there’s no such thing as a soul, or immortality.
I hope this doesn’t turn into a religious/ metaphysics train wreck.
Yeah I had the same thought. There could have been some people who read it but just went ahead and agreed anyway. It’s still probably a safe bet that most people didn’t read it though. 
I wonder if big legged women were exempt?

A Big legged woman ain’t got no soul*
It’s interesting that you say that. How come we have fishmongers, ironmongers, cheesemongers, warmongers, whoremongers and gossipmongers but we don’t have carmongers, meatmongers, DVDmongers or drugmongers? How do they decide which things are mongered rather than traded?
Stop being such a wordmonger.
Perhaps they collect souls as a more interesting alternative to stamps ?
I’d buy that for a dollar.
Good, but don’t explain your own jokes. Those of us know will get it, and those who don’t the explanation normally won’t help.
You didn’t read the article either.
There was a tick box to opt out of selling-your-soul, which also gave you a coupon. You would turn down free money to go along with a joke?
Mea Culpa.
Oh oh…
That’s OK, they’re issuing refunds. Just make sure you get your own back, and not someone else’s by accident!
I had to go check to make sure I hadn’t bought anything from them, because (like most people) I never read EULAs. I don’t like the idea of signing away my soul for a piece of software.
