The only thing that really matters

My work PC’s soundcard has a rather low maximum volume.  This makes drowning out the buzzing of morons around me difficult.  I thought there might be a software solution I could download to amp the volume.

Volume

There you have it.

Good, don’t reproduce

A woman just had an abortion and sterilized herself to reduce her carbon footprint.

I hope that any woman who ever spends one fraction of one second worrying about her carbon footprint follows suit and sterilizes herself.  We can put up billboards publicizing this alternative to burning fossil fuels.

We’ll call this program “voluntary eugenics.”

YouTube has no place on blogs

Please, for the love of god, stop injecting stupid YouTube clips in crappy resolution from crappy TV shows into your blogs as a prelude to your post.  Do you really need Viacom to introduce your idea?

Nothing annoys me more than hitting a blog I like to read from time to time only to find a page full of YouTube videos.  The standard format for the YouTube post is:

Subject Tangentially Relevant to YouTube Clip, Or Other Episode of Same Show

[Crappy YouTube clip of some episode of the latest shit on cable]

Wow.  Just wow.  So-and-so character is SO my type EL OH EL.  I would totally like date him.  I dated a guy just like him and he had a tiny penis!  LOL!

Irrelevant babble.

Irrelevant babble.

Babble relevant to someone who watched the clip.

Irrelevant babble.

A weak attempt at tying in the stupid clip with some larger, overarching meme, theme, or philisophical nonsense.

Go out with a bang; wax idiotic.

Thanks for nothing, jackass.  Your blog shouldn’t double as your YouTube Favorite Videos list.  Did it ever occur to you that I can pass off a blog as possibly work-relevant but a browser with a video playing is immediately suspect?  P.S., I don’t have speakers.

A blog is a written medium.   “Mixed media” is not cool, it’s annoying.  How would you feel if you were on the beach reading a novel and instead of chapter 6, it’s a YouTube clip?

Keep YouTube off your blog.  Thank you.
