You might be wondering why the post title is what it is. Well, what it is, is... it's a comment on the last post. What a lot of drivel that was, eh? No one wanted to know about that. No one reads this anyway, but if someone wanted to read anything it wouldn't be that.
This post is also so entitled because it's the only British response I could think of. The equivalent from across the Atlantic would go something along the lines of me dressing up as a drill sergeant and hollering at the mirror with a Southern states drawl "You are an absolute disgrace!". Which wouldn't do at all, now would it?
Winston Churchill once said "the maxim of the British people is ‘business as usual’." I hasten to agree with him and put that horrible expunging of weakness and immaturity behind us.
The internet. It's a wonderful tool, wouldn't you agree? You can use it to inform, to entertain, to warn, to communicate with friends, to seek out jobs, new life and civilisations, to boldly... oh wait. Nerd moment there. It is a great tool though.
But there's far too much shit. It's everywhere. If a book or a film were made the same way the internet has been made, there'd be half an hour or several chapters of graphic and ridiculous sex, a few minutes or pages of the most useful information in the world and then about half an hour of pointless, banal, mindless celebrity, self-absorbed "web-celebs" and bloggers, all clamouring for the twenty-first century's most valuable currency. Attention.
It's deplorable. But hey. Who gives a shit what I think? You probably can't hear me over all that porn and two Wikipedia quotes.
