Slashdot Mirror
The Ultimate Blog Post
An anonymous reader writes to mention Lore Sjöberg's 'Ultimate Blog Post'. He goes over the history of the blog (dating back over 2000 years), and conveniently condenses out the perfect blog posts for a few notable sites. From the article: "Boing Boing: Crocheted replica of subway map cracks DRM on collection of old video games. FARK: Drunk frat boy in Florida has sex with underage donkey, sues Strong Bad for negligence. Still no cure for overused in-jokes. Slashdot: AMD, SCO patent MP3 over TCP/IP, sue ATI, EA. Microsoft probably responsible somehow. Engadget: Samsung releases new cell phone/mp3 player/camera/web browser/GPS/game player/wireless hub. Now in gray! Joystiq: Will Wright to design first-person Warcraft shooter for the Wii. Jack Thompson responds with aneurysm."
Which all just goes to show that satire on the wrong hands is just plain dull.

Lore is a funny guy who I have found entertaining for nearly a decade, but if this particular nugget of wit was written by some random blogger that nobody had ever heard about, would it really have made the front page of Slashdot?
I mean... It's kinda-sorta funny. I guess.
It doesn't really hold a candle to his "I'm Somebody's Fetish" T-shirts, though.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
In short "Writing stuff down has been around a while".. Real? Wow. Deep.....
God Be Gone
How about:
We are so counter-culture it hurts, but we're still pissed that Rusty the fucker took our money and didn't improve the site. CMF my ass.
