    There's such a load of pretentious nonsense on the web amongst the circlejerking "tech" community (new code = new technology, allegedly). Web 2.0 is a scam, and the amount of money and press interest piled into this stuff is absurd.
    Witness how serious and businesslike the youths of the latest internet bubble behave. For example, all the business jargon that surrounds Facebook and their embarrassing press releases. At its heart, it's a site where ex-schoolfriends go and turn each other into zombies. And don't get me started on chatroulette. The founder is being coveted by all the usual "venture capital" dorks. He made an ugly site where you can watch ugly random men masturbate in an ugly manner (...so I'm told). How many millions is that worth?

    Let's stop being so serious about such nonsense.

    No, the internet is made for this:

    Curse you Llama! I was just about to sit down in my Man Chair with a copy of Paradise Lost and a single malt. Now I'm stuck watching youtube hunched in front of the computer with a pot noodle in my underpants.

    In more seriousity (wonderful non-word), that was rather a "shot an elephant in my pyjamas" catastrophe of sentence construction.

    The internet is primarily designed to make it easier to argue with a wider range of stupid people.

    "Comedy (from the Greek: κωμῳδία, kōmōidía) as a popular meaning, is any humorous discourse generally intended to amuse, especially in television, film, and stand-up comedy. This must be carefully distinguished from its academic definition, namely the comic theatre, whose Western origins are found in Ancient Greece. In the Athenian democracy, the public opinion of voters was remarkably influenced by the political satire performed by the comic"
