The internet is an interesting phenomenon. I was watching mctrmt’s latest video (or maybe her second latest), and it got me thinking. Remember when they used to tell us all about the cool things that we would have in the year 2000? The thing that we were all looking forward to the most was the flying cars. But even those would be obsolete by 2010 because we would all have personal jet packs. Hell, the sun would be blotted out from all the gadgets flying around in the sky. The year 2000 was going to be so cool. I remember as a kid thinking about how old I was going to be in the year 2000 and thinking it will never really come. Even Prince clamed that the standard for a good party was the ones that would happen in 1999. But I digress…
We didn’t get all of the things that the “experts” projected. What we got instead were cell phones, video games, iPods, and….The Internet. But how can this thing called The Internet possibly compete with a Flying F’ing Car? Well, aside from cool sites like Wikipedia, Reddit, DailyKos, and AccidentalDong, there are all the shopping sites like Amazon, Ebay, and Musiciansfriend. Not to mention all the porn!!! Oh…the porn….But wait, we also get sites like UkuleleUnderground and YouTube and this one, UkeCrazyBitches.
And NOW finally, my point; We hate on some of these sites on occasion, mostly on YouTube. But I for one owe a sincere debt of gratitude to the internet in general and YouTube specifically for introducing me to some really, really, really, cool people. People from all over the country (and the world). People who I call friends. Good friends. Real life friends. All from this magic little machine. So, in a nutshell…fuck the flying car, we all got something way way better…
Ok, enough with the love fest, I just had to get that out there…now…back to the hate...YouTube sucks!

F**k all the friends, I want my old YouTube layout back!!! One thing is good though about the internet, if you have had a bad day, you can still go to a forum and rough things up a bit! In the old times you could just piss off your neighbour by turning up the volume of your Iron Maiden album! However now, thanks to the internet, you can piss off thousands of people INTERNATIONALLY in a jiffy!! And the fun doesn't cost much either... Yay! I loves my internet, loves my internet! Some hate-bacon anyone?
We should be on Mars by now, too. The moon should have left its orbit. It and the inhabitants of the Moon colony (which should have been established by now) should have been flung into the deepest reaches of space.
I blame Bush.
I've been thinking about flying cars. The thing is, folks can't drive regular cars now - they are far too stupid to be flyoing about.
The thought of soccer-moms in minivans dropping from the skys while applying makeup behind the wheel terrifys me.
Wait... what were we talking about?
haha, nice porn links booze.
hey, are you saying the george foreman grill isn't as brilliant as flying cars? welcome to the future.
mmm. soccer moms.
I can't believe you used our site to defend the validity of the interwebs.
Who's the folks doin the CC Rider bit? Sounds good!
