For the record, internet comments are like a rain where almost every single droplet is stupid and those droplets that aren’t are nearly impossible to detect amongst the deluge of their peers. A friend of mine calls it a failed experiment, and yet no website is considered complete without the obligatory community-building comment system. I have been asked twice if I planned to add any such social networking jibbah-jabbah to Pickle Zombie, and the answer lies firmly in the negative. This space is for us to provide you with comics, not to facilitate a debate over the supremacy of Anne Hathaway versus Elisha Cuthbert on the field of "hawtness".
Besides, we all know Hathaway is the deserving victor.
From my high horse, the problem is the accessibility of technology. Any idiot these days can own and operate a device that is capable of a teraflop. Then there are the tech-savvy idiots, who are even worse.
For instance. The other night I had a friend over for games and he mentioned a Video of the Internet that he wished to share with me. First, he suggested I go get my notebook computer. I refused as the table-top game we were playing prohibited the allocation of real estate to even my modest thirteen inch machine, he then corrected me that he mean my much smaller netbook. The netbook has Linux on it, though, and is too slow to reliably play video. Instead I retrieved my iPhone 3Gs from my pocket and looked it up on YouTube. This search was in vain, so while he tried his Blackberry, I booted up the Playstation‘s web browser. Still unable to access the video, he finally pulls his netbook from work out of his bag and we have a short debate as to whether it would be faster for me to grab his MAC address to put him on my wireless router or just to tether the machine to his work smart phone which he also had on him. The tethering solution was best, in the end. All of this occurred parallel to a game of Carcassonne that a pair of lovely women were desperately trying to play with us.
The movie turned out to be mildly amusing.
Ja.
