I feel like calling a dude out who is just pulling out his opinions in an non offensive way is a dick move. I don’t like gifs or Twitter. I have legitimate reasons, I am not shit stirring. Unfortunately, those are the topics of the day, so I’m going to come across as a jerkface.

I’m sorry that my vague joshing criticism of Twitter hurt you so. I will tailor my comments for your pleasure in the future.

Just so it’s clear, I don’t give a shit about Monster’s Ball/upvotes. Whatever. But the advent of Monster’s Ball brought on tons of .gifs. And it is my personal opinion .gifs rarely add anything. They aren’t interesting. They are often used in place where word would do just as well, replays part of shows we have already seen, or shoehorned in cause the person found them and thought they were funny. The vast majority of .gifs here are just reposting .gifs people found somewhere else. If I wanted that, I’d go here: http://gifparty.tumblr.com/ 

Use your words, people. You are smart. Be original. To quote Gabe, you can better.

Sorry if you disagree, but the .gifs aren’t relevant. The top comment sums up to “Eh, whatever, .gif targeted to an inside joke!”. I like werttrew’s, but honestly the writing is what I like. And the Zoolostander is again nothing of substance. Feel free to disagree, but I fail to see how they are relevant to the post.

But for real, I dislike Monster’s Ball. It encourages pandering and discourages alternative thoughts. I think the real disease is MB, .gifs are just a symptom. But honestly, I’ll probably just forget about the comments and just read the posts in the future.

Though I guess I answered my own question with the whole LCD/popular thing.

Really? Relevant? A Topher head flying around? A Zoolander .gif moddified to be Lost related? Another gif where a whole post was written around it for it to make sense? It is lowest common denominator comedy and frankly I don’t get why they are so popular.

What’s a twitter? I thought people just put out their only funny to themselves thoughts under well written blog posts in hopes of upvotes and balling a monster. Is it just a site where everything is just comments?

Man, that is a dumb idea. It will never succeed.

I’m such an old school Videogum grump. I disliked Da Cake Eatur for being an annoyance and still dislike Am Pat for his old faux-conservative troll shtick. But I almost perfer them to the .gif party that rules today. My .gif rule: if it is pertinent, it’s good. And it must be extremely pertinent. If it is random or shoehorned at all, you can go to hell.

I feel all Gran Torino here.

Hell, Preston was even rocking a Mac back in ’94. Williamsburg owes a lot to this guy.

Respect, motherfuckers.
