Facebook: You're fooling no-one

Someone uploads yet another album full of drunken pub pictures and thinks this title is witty:











Who are you trying to kid: yourself or us? You're fooling no-one.
And there was me thinking that photos should be of memorable, special occassions, not the weekly (at the very least it seems) bender down the pub. Why does everyone wander around with a bloody digital camera grafted to their elbows.
And also, people are too lazy to even attempt to filter this detritus that clogs everyone's pages: STOP USING THE UPLOAD ALL option and learn to filter out the blurry and repetitive pictures. You might find them funny: we do not!

Facebook Friendshipstats

A lot of people on Facebook (where I can already forsee 95% of this blog's content coming from) have clicked onto one of those stupid comparison applications and gotten something like this:










What are you, a mindless let's-click-everything sheep? I wrote this rebuttal to every one of these moronic things that cluttered up my homepage:

According to http://www.friendshipstats.com you're a bunch of naive idiots
who need to stop clicking on absolutely everything; it's all a load of
codswallop, and the sooner you all realise this fact the better.


Saying it like it is. Though I should add this isn't an attack on one individual user of frienshipstats; I just screengrabbed the first instance I saw.

Introduction

Welcome to my Internet Snobbery blog!

The aim of this blog will be to highlight stupidity on the Internet and my rebuttal of such idiocy. There's a lot, and I'll try to post the best (or should that be most incredulous) examples online here.

The term Internet Snobbery was coined by my good friend Sam Eskenazi, and the doctrine of it shall be as such:

Those who think my identification of stupidity online makes me better then
them are wrong; it proves that I am better then their assumed superiority.

Enjoy! More updates to come later.
