It seems the "Fuck-Up" is step one to "Famous", a lot of virals are people who are just stupid, getting views for all the wrong reasons. Some of them actually believe they're getting general public appeal, when really we just love to see them fail. I would almost feel sorry for them if it wasn't for how much their stupidity offends me.
I have no love for "Dun Goofed" and the likes, if someone on the internet has taken pleasure in mocking you, then how his videoing and uploading yourself crying about it and saying more of the same things you were mocked for originally going to help things?
Or an ever growing trend in people ranting about things that piss them off or "offend" them (yes I appreciate the irony but bear with me those who call hypocrisy). This IS okay in itself, but try to form a logical argument. When you're complaining about hating by hating on someone else, you're a part of the problem, not the solution. I'm sure you've all the one (or atleast seen national tv spoofs of [yes it got that much fame]) the ginger kid who was angry about the gingers don't have souls joke. His argument is he must have a soul because he's a christian (laughable in itself) but that means he's not only taking the bait, but then goes onto swear, preach hate, and wish death upon others (not very commandment abiding). Now this part of my argument is weak yes, the bit that gets me is where he later goes on to say (and I'm paraphrasing here because I don't want it to bleed my ears again) "If you don't like me, fair enough..." (I thought good, now say but keep nasty things to yourself or other such reasonable gesture) only to flip right around, stutter and brake into "but if you don't like me, then fuck you, go kill yourself!" ... AreYouFuckingKiddingMe, and you wonder why people hate on that?
Now this isn't a reaction post, I hate giving them the press (hence the lack of links). It's been something I've been thinking for a while, but was sparked on to write it today when I called a rising "star" on it. The video was essentially an irate middle-aged black man complaining about racial stereotyping and how the a black cgi robot had been given a gold tooth. Now I'm not being racist but... (LOL JK) this guy is exercising a lot of the stereotypes he sits in his BMW and complains about. So I call him on it with a simple comment "make video about stereotyping, wear 3 necklaces." His reply "It's actually two, Moron. The invite was in error. Disregard." I had to laugh, 2 (though it's quite clearly 3) chains IS very much the kind of bling he was complaining about, and the smarter of the two of us had managed to accidentally send a friend request to me while trying to reply to a comment (I'm really not sure how).
Yes, before anyone points it out, I realise this is a rant, complaining about people ranting, on a blog with the primary purpose of being a soapbox for me to stand upon to rant; but I feel (or at least hope) that I present slightly more logical arguments. If not, feel free to call me on it, Moron.
