A huge portion of Instagram's 76 trajillion followers are outraged by the company's new terms of service indentured servitude!

Twitter's angered heavy hitters could convince their followers to uninstall Instagram and replace it with any generic photo-sharing app.

Instagram knows this, so The Powers That Be responded to user complaints this afternoon and promised them everything was okey-dokey-artichokey.

In an open letter to users, Co-founder Kevin Systrom promises us "legal documents are easy to misinterpret" and that he understands why so many are "confused and upset"!

Color us unimpressed!

How does he plan to rectify the problem?

Actually, his letter was filled with a whole lot of sound and fury and it signified… who knows?! We feel like we need a team of lawyers on retainer just to open the program and take a picture!

Try to decipher his words for yourself:

The people have spoken! And the celebs aren't far behind!

Instagram's terribly tyrannical new Terms of Service are pissing off a plethora of actors, models, and all-around famous faces!

Most are taking to Twitter in protest — as voicing dissent via parent company Facebook would be silly — and are threatening to delete their accounts!!

Saved by the Bell cutie Tiffani Thiessen was one of the first to get vocal. She said:

After Facebook bought Instagram this fall, the world braced itself for unappreciated yet inevitable changes!

They weren't wrong!

Pages of TOS amendments have been released and, boy-oh-boy, does the photo-sharing application grab its users tight by their gonads!

Here is the nasty crux of the company's new "agreement," one that users may only opt out of by DELETING THEIR ACCOUNT:

We thought an apple a day kept the doctor away, but, in Soviet Russia, a daily dose of Apple's iTunes could send you to the doc even quicker!

For a refill on your Viagra prescription, perhaps!

Or to treat the chafed nuclear submarine in your undies, LOLz!!

Russian media aficionados were in for both a shock and a tightening of the pants this week when they logged onto iTunes!

Instead of links to purchase movies and albums, like they expected, there were ads for XXX porn and escort services (above)!

Whoa!! How could that happen?

The Russians sent Sputnik into outer-space — when did they lose their stranglehold on technological achievement?!

Apparently an employee goofed the code for the program and accidentally linked to .xxx sites instead of their own cache of images!

WHOOPS!

We hope the programmer isn't sent to the Pussy Riot gulag!

John McAfee's legs must real tired, because he's been running from the law for almost a month!

The McAfee AntiVirus software pioneer was arrested Wednesday in Guatemala for entering the country illegally after fleeing his residence in Belize to escape from cops he claims were dirty and sent to kill him.

After John's Belizean neighbor was shot, local officials ransacked the computer guru's house to either question him about the mysterious murder or gun him down in cold-blood — depending on which side you believe.

Since going into hiding, John kept in semi-constant touch with his contacts in the States, assuring them his location must remain secret and that his life was in danger.

Now the 67-year-old is being detained by

We sure hope not!

Computer legend John McAfee (above) is wanted for questioning by Central American police after fellow American Gregory Faull was murdered Saturday night in Belize.

John created the immensely-popular McAfee Antivirus Software and was worth at least $100 mil when he sold his company, left the States, and moved down to tropical paradise.

Unfortunately, sources close to him say he turned to drugs around the same time. Now he's grown paranoid, unsteady, and addicted to bath salts.

And now, John is currently on the lam from the authorities.

Police found Gregory, a former Floridian, face-up in a pool of blood, with
