internet “memes”, as the kids call them, are pretty dumb.

now there is some weeeeird stuff on the internet these days. basically every weirdo has internet access, and while on the street you can avoid the weirdos, on the internet they show up out of nowhere. i was gonna get a whole bunch of examples, but you know what i’m talkin about – whiners, racists, annoying 11 year olds – they run rampant through the world wide web. post a every day run-of-the-mill video of a family trip or sightseeing location on youtube? expect to be met with a host of comments such as “gay” “dumb” “stupid” “obama is not amricn citisen!!1″ “dumb”.

ive said it before – the internet is a wasteland

in hundreds of years there’s going to be this vast encyclopedia of our time, more information preserved than the culmination of years past, and all of it is going to be manga fan fiction and animations of sean connery shouting. we’re gonna look like a pretty dumb generation, i think. of course i seriously doubt people are getting smarter… the fact that so many people plan their evenings on getting home in time for “i’m a celebrity get me out of here” pretty much proves that… but the internet archives we leave behind are gonna be really, really embarassing. i elect that we burn it! burn it to the ground! if someone tells me where we can find the internet ill bring some matches.

i mean, i love the internet. but it can get pretty annoying.

it all started (who knows actually it probably didnt all start with this) with rick rolling. someone would post a link that said something like “check this out! dolphin getting punched in the face!” and obviously everyone wants to see that so you’d click on the link. instead, you’re sent to a video of a 80s pop star dancing to an obnoxious song. enjoyable at first, but you can only get your heart broken so many times. when i saw a link to “check this out! world’s tallest man goes waterskiing” and then saw rick grooving to synth beats i had my fill. and for the record if anyone ever finds the real video of the world’s tallest man waterskiing get back to me, because that sounds really very enjoyable.

more “memes” popped up everywhere. each more pointless and wasting-of-time than the last.

until recently.

the internet recently was justified by the appearance of a CAT playing a KEYBOARD

it was glorious!! it was a cat!! playing a KEYBOARD!

you’ve probably seen it by now. how this thing works. an embarassing video will play, and then the keyboard cat will “play off” the victim. all well and good.

but recently things were taken to THE NEXT KEYBOARD CAT LEVEL

it takes a lot to get me to laugh. but this video? for some reason, seriously “roffling” all over the place.
alright. poop in bed

    Best comment below the keyboard cat video?

    “is it a real cat? does it play? the keyboard by itself? I can’t figure it out. “

    Stereotypes hurt, dude.

    What stereotypes? The farmer, the 11-year old boy, or the keyboard-playing cat?

    I like to think a little bit of all of those.
