Old People + Internet = Weird
Old people should not use the internet. It makes things strange. For example, for a project senior year of high school, some classmates and I created a trailer for the fictional movie of Hamlet. Our teacher loved it and asked for a copy, which I gladly made her. Fast-forward to a couple of weeks ago. My buddy Tim calls me and asks if I have another copy of the video. Apparently he went to the high school to visit and my teacher told him that she lost her copy. I said to look on youtube (mostly out of laziness, as I didn’t want to copy another DVD). A couple days later I take a look at the page, and find this at the top of the comments list:
“I’m so glad that Tim P. told me to look for this on YouTube…I wish I had known earlier because my copy of the project got “clean sweeped” from my computer! The best video trailer EVER! Hope all is well with you Pat..tell the other guys I said ‘Hi.’
-Mrs. K”
Thats a nice note, you might think. Well, it is, but let me remind you, this was written on the YOUTUBE COMMENT BOARD. This is not the place for comments like that. For comparison, heres another youtube comment I’ve picked from a video at random:
“his 1337 shredzorz skilz pwn us UGers thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiis much. /sarcasm. 1 star.”
Actually, in hindsight, I prefer Mrs. K’s method.
PS: Even though I’m pretty sure my girlfriend is the only one reading this, for those of you who are interested, here’s my video and the random video I stole a comment from:
