Reason Numero Uno on Why I Hate the Internets

by gatsome on Aug.05, 2008, under Tech

For more then a decade I’ve immensely enjoyed the virtually unlimited access the internet has offered. The spoils of information at the tips of my fingers grew to intoxicating levels of borderline euphoria. But the time has now come to the point at which my mind’s tolerance as been built to such a level that part of the thrills have taken a back seat to something much worse and much more poisonous.

The internet is now a giant fucking magnifying glass for stupidity in human culture. It’s running rampant in the e-streets. It frightens me. If you’ve ever seen Idiocracy it should be frightening you too. As it’s been said, evolution does not necessarily reward intelligence. It is apparent, maybe ironic, that in order to sustain your internet life you must adapt. How to go about this is any man’s game, but I would probably start with avoiding the cesspools of retardation that camp and breed in the moldy, wet, dark corners of the internet. The following is a self-made list of such places I would try and avoid:

  • Neanderthals who post comments on Youtube
  • Anyone using the Comic Sans font type
  • Someone who’s email ends in aol.com
  • Any person(s) with more pictures than friends on their social networking site de jour
  • People who rate stuff badly for an idiotic reason

That last one irks me entirely too much. Case in point the Apple App Store for the iPhone/iPod Touch. Scores and scores of applications and games rated 1 star out of 5 for no reason other the the price. Listen all you broke ass peices of shit, if the price ain’t right don’t rate out of spite. Oh that game you think looks nice costs you $9.99 and you don’t want to pay? Why not rate it poorly and express your distaste. After all, why should you have to pay for something that has taken someone weeks or longer of steady work to come out with. Let alone work that your stupid ass cannot comprehend enough to do yourself.

These range from users who state they’d only pay upwards of $.99 for a product to others who state Apple should lower the prices on apps store-wide. You people are as disgrace and I’m personally ashamed to be grouped in the same category of -iPhone Owner- with the likes of you. For starters Apple doesn’t set the prices, the developer(s) do. Secondly, they set the price with the mindset that they will be raking in only 70% of the price set with Apple keeping the remaining 30% due to their advertising/distribution of the program.

It’s my opinion Apple should block all reviews from folks who do not actively have the app installed. This would bar the idiot group from rating products they themselves have never even tried. I’m sick of missing out on great apps because the review is 3 stars out of 5 but it’s only low because some fucking douche doesn’t want to fork over the pocket breaking $4.99 for the shit. If you want to bitch and moan about prices, the developers leave a website in the info section for you. You can go to the website and find a contact or feedback link and utilize this to your hearts content. Then they can be the ones laughing at how much of a retard you sound like because u actlly tak lik dis, mang, wtf is rong wit ur head??!?!

Next up you can write a letter to Honda bitching about the prices on gas, am-i-right?
