Rant number 221
Facebook is a fine thing in some ways. It's great to be able to communicate with many of your friends. It's also a great way to communicate things to people who are merely your acquaintances of sorts. It's even a way to communicate with people you can't stand but have still found their way onto your contact list.
It's pretty clear then, that talk has got far cheaper than ever before.
Now, we all have things we want to say. To articulate if you will - and some of us, though rather grumpy - are pretty good at just that.
Others however, seem to need some outside help - to get their messages across.
Which is where I presume all the bloody memes have come from.
Don't get me wrong here. I quite like a good and funny meme. I like a clever one - I really do. But quality, as with many things is always paramount to quantity.
So many people are just desperate it seems to spread any old shit - which pops up on my wall, simultaneously irritating me and raising my blood pressure.
For instance, someone decided to post a picture of an olympic shot-putter pulling what can only be described as a poo face.
Alone, that quite amused me however, I don't really see the need to add to it.
Which is why the caption 'Ermahgerd, Shert Pert!!!' perplexed me.
Point 1: I do not understand why: Oh my god, shirt pert!!! is meant to be funny. Even with the silly photo
Point 2: Misspelling anything does not make it funny. It just makes it childish.
I FUCKING HATE 'COMIC' MISSPELLING ON MEMES!
There has also been many recent trends such as the:
<Picture of something from the 80'> with the caption 'like if you remember this'
Or
<grumpy looking cat> with matching (ALWAYS FUCKING MISSPELT) caption.
Lets just think about it before we share it hey guys? Stop filling your wall with bullshit!
That is all.
Rant over.
