Piro On Why .Coms Don't Work

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-put dept.

(ignoring the recent 'stick figure dom' days while Piro was moving).' But few people think about the social, economic and philosophic issues the authors' rants can delve into. This morning Piro put up a rather long 'rant' that's really a catching insight into why the dot-com world didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of surviving. (archive link to the rant in question, it's below the comic. ;) "

    I was going to write about what everyone already knows (capital, pointless product, worthless hype) but we all know it so.

    No shit it won't work.

    But Piro is an angsty pedophile. He needs a serious whuppin'. The only credit I'll ever give him is that he can draw well. Largo + Dom are cool. Stick figure dom is GREAT. The comics that Largo writes with L33t and gaming are great. But the main story line with piro and his angst suck. I wouldn't listen to a word that man says. You trust a man about internet issues when his talent is drawing sad high school girls in snow? Gimme a break.
