You know what I’m sick and god-damn tired of?
So I’m browsing any of my favorite forums, and someone posts a thread about what appears to be an interesting news story. They’ve summarized the story.. badly, and usually with their own political bias thrown in for good measure, but they’ve included a link to some purportedly reputable news site, like CNN.com, and as the page loads I see a video window. Well I don’t want to watch a video, so I scroll down, expecting to see the print version of the story. Except it isn’t there. And the anger builds inside of me.
You mean to tell me that there is no one working for your major fucking news outlet who knows how to FUCKING TYPE!??
Let me tell you a little god-damn secret. I do NOT want to watch a 30 second commercial just so I can watch 10 seconds of your network’s flashy graphics and 5 seconds of some bimbo running through the bullet points of the story – badly. I WANT TO READ THE FUCKING NEWS STORY. WORDS INTO MY EYES INTO MY FUCKING BRAIN IS ALL I NEED.
NOW EITHER HIRE SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS HOW TO FUCKING TYPE WORDS INTO A GOD-DAMN COMPUTER OR STOP WASTING MY FUCKING TIME.
