"Oh my god! Have you seen/heard of this (filthy/racist/idiotic) thing?!? No? HERE it is!" |
|
"Aren't these anonymous people of no consequence filthy/racist/idiotic?!? Click on the link! View that filthy/racist/idiotic thing, damnit! Now, isn't that filthy/racist/idiotic?!"
(later that night)
"Oh my god, you won't believe the (filthy/racist/idiotic) thing this anonymous person of no consequence on Facebook just said!"
And on and on and on...
I wish this post were a response to something specific something posted. Instead, it's about an entire class of posts which basically boil down to "Here! Click on this link to see something someone inconsequential said or did that you're not going to want to see anyway!", often without any protracted commentary if there is commentary at all.
We get it. Thank you so much for bringing all that to our attention but we have the internet, too. We also know there are rude people on Facebook. We know that as well. Your vigilance is appreciated but nolonger required.

I had to get up from the desk and slice a few pickles lengthwise after I read your topic. Ok, I'm all better now.

3. It's better than those "OMG TURN ON (TV CHANNEL) NOW!!!!!! |
|
and that's it. It was especially infuriating when I didn't have satellite and is still slightly infuriating to see because whatever it was didn't take up more than five minutes before they went to commercial and was outdated by the time the post was made.
Please, give us just a little more information, here. We don't all have cable, for instance.
Blind links are always fun, too.

4. I'm waiting for the "OMG! Call your congressman RIGHT FUCKING NOW and ask them what's on MSNBC!" |

"Sir? Thank you for waiting. I just asked the congressman what was on MSNBC and he said 'It looks like someone was waiting in line at Starbucks and they just went off!'"

5. You mean posts like "I came across this Free Republic thread"? |
