Every day when I get bored at work I start browsing around and usually end up on the Yahoo home page for a little while. What’s got me bothered is your stupid AUTOPLAY VIDEO AT HIGHEST VOLUME POSSIBLE policy. I mean c’mon, I’m trying to be discreet and shit and here you go again blasting news to the office or worse, some non-targeted commercial for tampons or something else I have no possible use for…

So — all I ask is that you identify my IP address and only play commercials that are focused soundly around beer, condoms, and breasts, or just plainly turn the sound to minimum and let me choose how loudly I want to hear things.

Sincerely,

Glenn

One of the most annoying memes of 2011 was Nyan Cat, so much so that it inspired a DMCA takedown notice and a counter-complaint.

There is a subtle difference between sarcasm and irony.

Sarcasm: That sure is a nice question mark, Grammar Nazi #2.

Irony: Why did they misspell, “Congratulations?”

Any questions?

DAMN YOU, RULE 34!!!

The widespread misuse of Internet Memes has become a trend of its own. Given that there is so little information about the sources of said memes, incorrect information is constantly represented as fact with footnotes to prove the falsifications. In the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln:

“The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine.”

Personally, I blame Al Gore, since he invented the Internet.
