Mrs Ethelston’s Church of England Primary School is stupid

June 19th, 2009 sasquatch No comments

bad-teethParents of children at a primary school have been banned from taking pictures of their own children at the annual sports day.

So apparently these British fucks think kids are in complete peril 24/7, and taking picture of them at any point in time is a sign they’re going to be violently molested and murdered. People. GET IT TOGETHER! No one wants your crappy kids. Go brush your teeth.

Linux on the desktop is stupid

June 5th, 2009 Gaylord McQueen No comments

mac_pc_linuxEvery few months, some asshat Linux fanboy tries to convince humanity that Linux is actually a viable alternative to Windows or Mac OS.  It isn’t.  Shut up about it.  Go back to your basement, put on your penguin t-shirt, and play some D&D with your other Linux troll friends, because the rest of us are not converting to your Nike-wearing, punch-drinking religion anytime soon.  Just because your article can get Diggs from a few like-minded douche fanboys doesn’t mean it has any basis in fact.

And ZDNet, if you’re going to try to encourage the “slow” kids by letting them publish this gibberish, do it somewhere where the rest of us don’t have to see it.

Declaring a trend based on blog comments is stupid

June 1st, 2009 Gaylord McQueen No comments

bingsuckApparently Microsoft’s new Bing search engine is successful.  Why? According to Michael Arrington at TechCrunch, Bing is “something of a hit” because a tenuous majority of his readers says it is, although if you actually read the comments many are positive but most are just shocked it doesn’t completely suck.

Arrington didn’t even bother to run a poll or survey of his own readers - he just read through the comments and declared a Microsoft victory in his headline, thereby guaranteeing pageviews and a whole new heap of blog comments.  That’s great marketing, but what happened to real journalism?

For a more sensible review, try Mashable.

Facebook Quizzes are stupid

mark_zuckerberg_taj_mahalIf I have to see one more Facebook Quiz about “What type of salad dressing would you be?” or “Which feminine hygeine product would you be?” I am going to order 100 pizzas for delivery to Mark Zuckerberg.
