Who Says The Internet Is Useless?
Greetings all and welcome all, Steve here to explain why the internet doesn’t totally honk. First of all, it kind of honks. Honking is bad and the internet does it, a bit. Despite informative blogs that you might want to tell your friends about, ahem, the internet has not always been known for bringing out the best in humanity. I remember having an argument in 1995, when the internet was just starting up, saying that it was going to become a global network, connecting the thought, motivations and passions of people from all over the world, leading to a better world. And, to be fair, it did. I just didn’t realize at the time that the thoughts, motivations and passions of the world revolved around naked people. I should have seen that one coming, actually. Hollywood’s been doing it for decades.
Not that I’m trying to badmouth porn, but it seems that they’ve kind of gone overboard with it, more than our minimum daily requirement. I mean, how much porn do we really need? Less than we have, that would be my guess. I guess I was just hoping for more and I was just about to give up on the intersmut, when I a friend on Facebook sent me an invitation for a group sponsoring someone in my home town, one Greg Yorke, to get a tattoo Bruce Frisko, one of the anchorman of a local evening news programs. Yes, that’s right.
Facebook, for those not in the know, is a social networking site, very useful for friends to keep in touch with each other and everybody but the Pope is on this thing. As far as I know. Anyway, Facebook is normally used only for socializing, but some friends had the idea that if Greg Yorke got a tattoo of Bruce Frisko then they could give the money to charity. I’m a little foggy on the details, but the crux of the situation was that they needed 25,000 people to sign up for the group on Facebook and sort of virtually ’sponsor’ Greg Yorke. This was key to the success of the operation, because otherwise Mr. Yorke would probably just have been taken away to a padded room.
Nevertheless, through global social networking, Greg Yorke will finally get his tattoo of Bruce Frisko this Saturday. And my dream, more than a decade old, of people all over the world coming together to improve life for all will finally be a reality. Greg is said to have initially had some anxiety about the operation, but feels better now that he’s been drinking. Bruce himself will be there, along with various members of the media. I’m sure somebody will put the video on Facebook.
