This comes by way of Boing-Boing. It was just too good to not share. It says, 
in blunt terms, what most EULA's and privacy notices say in the most 
convoluted terms. Here it is:

"By accessing this Web site in any way, shape, or form, directly or 
indirectly, you (hereinafter, PEON) grant Neil W. Van Dyke and his duly 
authorized agents (hereinafter, collectively, NEIL) carte blanche, including 
but not limited to unrestricted use and abuse of PEON's personal information, 
personal property, personal anatomy, and increasingly precarious emotional 
state.

This agreement may be be altered at any time by NEIL. Quietly changing a 
document somewhere on the Internet shall constitute notification. It is 
incumbent on PEON to locate these changes, seeing as how PEON grants 
automatic blanket consent to any such changes.

Should any part of this agreement be found illegal, the remaining parts shall 
remain in full force. Parts found merely unethical or tasteless may be 
doubled in magnitude, solely at the discretion of NEIL."
