24 Reasons why Linux is ready for weekly Television advert bait.

Hi, I’m Jack ‘you have to listen to me, please” Fuckcock and I have heard so many reasons why X is/not Ready For Y that I no longer care what X is, what it is for and who the hell thinks it needs to be crammed up Y. Opinions on the Internet are spreading like unwanted children and this is not just my way of saying that Opinions are the Criminals of Tomorrow but coincidentally they are often born of drunk people with nothing better to be doing, who often wish to distance themselves from the result once sober. Many of us have little to no interest in why anyone would want to see their precious penguin power distribution shoved with no mercy upon the unsuspecting average computer user but it is starting to look like arguments for and against the damnable system are as close to an orgasm as some of us are ever liable to have.

Linux has its place, and I will TELL YOU NOW that it is not on the desktop computer where Andrew Knobwit only wants to gawk at damp and private tubes in theirtube on histube. Your average human has little desire to convince their computer that watching video, using creative fonts and burning optical media are viable uses for the hardware they own. You may well hate Windows or Mac but it is not your place to inflict your own self loathing upon others. Leave them be and get back to your dank pit where you maintain my god damn Internet running on Linux.

But you know where Linux does belong? T.V. Yeah Television, although I have no desire to limit Transvestite use either if you must know. 24, we all watch that right? That cliffhanger-based slew of unreality with Commander Gruff and his CTU based gnome Pouty, they have Linux! I’m sure they do because you can see the CODE being DECODED on their monitors whenever they STREAM some SATELLITE DATA through the interjingle comfluxuchaters at priority bastard bloody biscuit. That’s real that is, you can tell because it’s mostly GREEN. We know programs are supposed to be eye catching and realism is suspended for the sake of escapism but I fear if some of these programs continue at the rate they are now the only way to pump the tension further will be to have every member of the cast wear Mr. T masks kicking the shit out of some mechamuslim who is made of dirty red mercury bombs. And they will do it wearing gun shoes. These episodes will be shown in I’M GOING FUCKING DEAFINITION on special flat-screen televisions made of speed that you have to fuck for the duration of the the adverts for your next fix of atom bomb eating action.

Is it just me?

The idea of the Internet getting easier to access and providing the average person with an ability to comment on everything truly frightens and angers me, when people who think the events of Big Brother are crucial to their day get to go onto a global network of may-as-well-be infinite scope and storage to give their ‘too sents’ on anything has the power to cause damage. These things are archived! These words will last for a long time and people in the future will be able to read them as historical commentary, does that not bother anyone else? Certainly I am only contributing poorly worded anger to the tangled mess of it all but do not forget that MySpace is actually big enough now that it is a viable method of advertising for a lot of things.

That worries me.

The best example of why freedom to easily comment is not a very good idea is probably Google Video and YouTube. Google Video allows ratings of videos where YouTube allows people to say things like ‘I think she wos hot’. Then some other person will add without question ‘Yeah!’’ before the whole thing has degenerated into a twisting tale of how some nobodies from whocares had this awesome party the other night. Am I straying too far from the topic yet? Good! Because it only reinforces the point! It took me zero effort to write this and post it online where it will be nigh on impossible to ever remove. When people have the ability to just say whatever they have in mind at the time (and you note I specifically avoided saying ‘thinking about’) for all to see the results are just depressing.

If you had no hurdle before telling the world why you think someone else is wrong, you probably had no valid point to begin with… ... Oh…

Truth is that although I had little technical hindrance in any of this thanks to the progress of tools available on the Internet, from document creation to publishing, I did exercise a little moderation by not posting this directly, re-reading it and making edits for clarification and point and I would love to see more people show the self minimalistic self control before filling the masses of wonderful new services with pure garbage at every opportunity.

The ability to say anything we want is truly something to cherish and that requires that it not be miss-handled.

I have no real solutions, none that do not involve non-racial specific genocide anyway, but I’m damn sure none of the actual solutions will come from the throng of people on the Internet screaming about how they are the only ones who can solve everything for the rest of us. I quit using Linux on my desktop for multiple good reasons and I don’t care what Lost is trying to sell me, and you can fucking shove it if you can tell me why I am wrong.
