It's been a while since I've done a WHARGARBL post, but I guess it's been a while since there's been a WHARGARBL on the internet so powerful and unjustified that I felt the need to address it. Until today. And I can hardly believe I'm saying this,
but I'm actually ashamed of people on the internet right now.
I didn't think I could feel shame
anymore for what people say or do on the internet...it's basically
pointless. I mean, we're all at least conceptually aware of what
Penny Arcade termed the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory (G.I.F.T. for
short). G.I.F.T. says that if you give a normal person anonymity and an
audience, they turn into a cancerous fuckwad. It's why little boys on
Xbox Live whose balls haven't even dropped feel confident in
reminding me the number of times they've had prolonged sexual
intercourse with various members of my family. It's practically a
daily part of internet life. But a very special outbreak of butthurt and assholery is currently soaring through the internet today.
