    People love to jump off fads and disavow them.

    Especially people who haven't grown up yet, e.g., 'rebellious' goth teens and college students who jump at the opportunity to slam Britney Spears while promoting some half-assed garage band that sounds like shit. Most self-proclaimed critics and pundits also belong to this group; they're nothing more than an adult version of the teen rebel, trying to sell the fact that their negative criticisms and fad-slamming are somehow indicative of a superior intellect.

    What's especially pathetic is that a good many of these idiots were not only the first to abandon the bandwagon but the first to jump on it as well. And they'll do the same thing over and over again, and people will *still* believe they have something worthwhile to say.

    I'm a 25 year old and I have a great idea with prototype implementation already in place. I'm looking for VCs willing invest money in my product. If you are interested, please let me know.
