Do we really need this crap?

The Onion taps a poignant yet risible vein of truth that helps me further understand my chronic self-loathing:

New Social Networking Crap that Nobody Needs!



"Launched last year, Foursquare is unique in that it not only allows users to broadcast their whereabouts, but also offers a number of built-in incentives, including some innovative new crap The New York Times surely has a throbbing hard-on for."

To think I work on Scheiße like this...

  1. it's scary, but it seems like we're becoming a society of attention whores. No matter how stupid, wretched, or f**k-up you are, all it takes is a reality-TV camera or a social media platform to validate your pathology.

    But do not fail to remember - social networking platforms/technology don't cause stupidity, People cause stupidity!
