what would stupid be like if the internet refused to let you write stupid shit?

You know what, I was being a bit coy with the reasons for my last post but let’s hit the nail right on the head instead. Most of you people posting the video of that guy from South Korea didn’t give a sliver of a shit when this music and accompanying video came from LMFAO (in fact, you probably hated it) but now that it comes from a “wacky” Asian guy, it’s suddenly “amazing”, or whatever superlatives you’re all throwing at it?
GTFO.
Hey, are you getting your new music tips from Reddit?
Stop it.
Here is a handy list of places to go to for tips on new music that are better than Reddit:

“You don’t think he’s a creep? He’s like skulking in there in a bookstore? Are you kidding? He’s telling her who she is! It’s somewhat sadistic, right? I mean he’s already written her dialogue for her. He comes up to her and he’s talking and what he’s saying is just like a mouthful of what he thinks she’s thinking. And she goes, ‘Yeah, I’ll go along, I’ll be your projection,’ you know?”
—I like the interview Willa Paskin did with Parker Posey about last night’s Louie episode because Posey doesn’t let Louis’ character off the hook (let’s assume for a second that he’s playing a character, alright?). Maybe it’s my fault for reading these things in the first place, but I’ve read too many recaps and tweets about the episode that calls into question Posey’s character by calling her a Manic Pixie Dream Girl (which might be true) while letting Louis(’ character) off the hook entirely by not even touching on his flaws at all. Am I thinking too much about how people write about fictional characters? Don’t let me know!
You guys, I've found it! I've found the blog post that is the most awful (unintentional) indictment of TED's awful pseud groupthink! →

My favorite part is “random connections drive innovation”, the most TED-like (read: meaningless) phrase ever thought by a human being ever, but the blog post I’ve linked is filled with gems like the aforementioned. Never has words meant so little. Actually, I’m pretty sure I don’t know what words mean anymore after reading the post.
“If you don’t build it, someone else will come.”
—I’m talking to Tully about the idiotic “people will pay for it anyway!” line of thinking when people try to argue against IP laws (which I’m by no means an expert, but I do know that the “other people will compensate for me” argument always never works, dudebros) and he dropped this clever little line, which is just perfection.
I can’t name any names or link to any links because of reasons but man, people are oblivious to obvious clickbait when the premise of the piece aligns with their beliefs, hey?
