Remember things read online, and I probably just shouldn't.
People spew from the brain to an unpredictable audience like never before on earth, every line so profound, every opinion so well thought through... right?
Ahh, forget it. Just kids, with little life experience, yet so much technical dexterity.
Little practical wisdom yet so much social pseudo-knowledge.
How far we've come...
Some kid posts video-blogs of her father David Chapman, who suffered a stroke and spends the duration of these amateur clips silent with a bewildered expression.
People instantly take Dave here for Mark David Chapman (John Lennon's killer) and start venting their rage and disgust impulsively -
"this is less than you deserve''.
''Hope you rot in hell, you *#!%!'', etc, etc.
So end result? I'm watching bad, silent, shaky footage of a very unhappy (exploited?) looking stroke victim. This is playing atop a string of misguided, ignorant, foul-mouthed death-wish abusive comments.
I can't help thinking,
''Is this what humans can show off to visiting extra-terrestrials as a milestone of our achievement?'',
"Is this why folks forefathers died in the wars?''.
Other trash that flows over my retinas online are comments like,
"I've tried every type of magic in the world and none of it worked, so I know magic isn't real''.
Deep, man.
I mean, I can obviously forgive this junk when it's coming out of kids heads, but it's scary to see what politicians sometimes post online, to think there won't be consequences.
Ones that have me grin every time are the comments made regarding James Cameron's Avatar, specifically,
''After watching Avatar, real life is just so depressing, I don't want to live anymore''.
Holy Nanna-spaz! That was a pretty easy defeat! Forget nukes or biological weapons, we'll just fracture everyone's morale with special effects better than Mother Nature's and graphics better than God's! Then people can just start offing themselves.
It ain't music like Deicide or Cannibal Corpse that's screwin' da kids, it's mainstream animated films 'bout respecting nature.
Well, I'll be away from the mind-numbing bollocks for a while, (even more than I have been) getting the hands dirty again, always happiest when I'm on the road, camping out and getting stuck in on a farm or property.
List of Patronizing Hints for Avatar Victims -
(Okay, I fancied Melina from Total Recall, she's fictional, but it didn't get me down)
-ahem-
a) Next time look out of a window instead of into a screen, you'll save $$, and if you jiggle your head round you'll notice it's 3D!
b) Keep looking for the duration of three hours, you can chew n' heckle as loud as you want! And it won't affect your vision!
c) Right click and save an animal picture from this blog, colour it pink in photoshop, yay it's like a Pokemon now and you have the added knowledge it really exists.
Note: you could take it a step further by colouring in an actual live Australian marsupial with food colouring, but it's not my aim to get you arrested.
