I'm just curious which one will appear to be the worst - this cure or the 
current disease ;-). Since the askers are probably too lazy to follow the

Perhaps a negated version into the URL name should be used: 
'w.d.o/CD/no-free-linux-cd' or even more articulated like ;-) 
'w.d.o/CD/The-Debian-project-does-not-send-out-free-CDs'
