Don't Be An Asshole
New York Times, Monday April 9, 2007 we finally get an article that basically outlines a code of conduct for blogging and talkbacks on the internet. Let me break it down for you in one sentence, DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE!
If you can believe this, there are some people who use the internet to say things to other people that they don't have the balls or ovaries. I am completely shocked and partially dismayed, you mean to tell me that there are bitter people out there that get their jollies from shitting on other people's parades. Are there people who sit at their computer naked surfing the web for free porn for 12 hours a day who will say anything because there is no fear of reprecussion? No come on, you gots to be kidding me!
I want to give you the basic profile of these people: 90% of them are males below the age of 18 have not gotten laid their entire lives, and no! using the vagina taken from a mold of your favorite porn star does not count, IQ is probably in the low 90's but they do know how to make the words EAT ME SHITHEAD! appear on your website 10,000 times in an hour. Which is something I can't do, so in that way I am kinda envious.
But the weird thing about it is when you open yourself up in a public forum like this and expose views on a platform that wasn't readily available to people 20 years ago, guess what? There are going to be ASSHOLES! Assholes. Just like the beginning of the theme to "The Facts of Life" T.V. Show says, "You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have: The Facts of Life Da Dah! The Facts of Life Da Dah!" (you will now have this song in your head for the rest of the day) This is shit that you are going to have to deal with and if you are not strong enough to deal with these mental and emotional midgets, get the fuck out and leave Al Gore's invention to us assholes.
Asshole Alert! Asshole Alert! Don't forget to vote for Sanjaya Malakar, if he wins, we all win!
