Besides popular weblog services like Blogger, Livejournal, and Wordpress, the uber-famous video sharing website YouTube has quickly become one of the most sought-after platforms for self-expression on the internet.Too bad that the concept of "self-expression," when practiced mostly by a tearfully, frightfully dull public, is so overrated.
Given its arguably insurmountable popularity with those who think common sense is a rapper, YouTube is the premier forum for intense verbal idiocy, worthless opinions daily flooding commentboards like a sewage leak of biblical proportions.
Not since the writings on men's bathroom walls has there ever been such gratuitous public displays of hatred against the human brain.
"Before, whenever I'd take the family out for dinner at the local chinese buffet, I used to bring my 16 year old son into the bathroom, even if he didn't have to go, to point out to him the inane graffiti on the walls," says creative-writing professor Dean Stith of Teaneck, NJ. "No matter how vulgar or explicit the writings were, I was confident that my son was mature enough to realize that I was teaching him a lesson--that if he ever respects the concepts of 'self-dignity' and 'evolution,' than he should never under any circumstances write like that, for the public to absorb.
"To me, the walls of public bathrooms are now no longer the choice site for samples of collective stupidity. You really want to know to what extreme our dear humanity is hurting, writhing on the icy expanse of social ignorance like a clubbed seal? Just go to youtube.com and review some commentboards and video weblogs. It's faster and easier than you can say, 'God is dead.'"
