It's Important To Ridicule The Things That Don't Interest Us On The Internet


Posted by Mitch Wagner, May 1, 2007 12:53 PM

I think it's important to ridicule new things on the Internet that don't interest us. When people come up with a new service or tool like Twitter or Second Life, it's very important that we announce that it's just silly, it appeals only to self-centered losers, perverts, and criminals, and it's a big waste of time. We must let it be known that we ourselves are too busy, and our lives are too full of children, mortgage payments, and work, to get involved in such nonsense. And we must make these proclamations on our blogs, without any trace of being aware of the irony.
