till we go.

in light of recent events, i would like to address the issue of freedom of speech today. unlike my usual style of attacking no topic in particular while blogging, a particular occurrence has, along with pissing me off royally, has highlighted the narrowness of mind in number of people.

if a promotional poster is posted on facebook, an open social network, on the internet, which is a free-for-all media platform, do i as a passerby not have the right to comment on it as i please?


for example:
is it just me or is the girl standing there damn extra?

the response, which i will not go into, was completely unwarranted. but like, she bloody is, isn't she? without any malicious intent whatsoever, i'm basically saying that the appearance of this very pretty young lady is well, redundant as she serves no purpose at all. essentially, i'm not saying that the effort put into this little project was inadequate, more of the commenting on the overall inefficiency of the poster.

constructive criticism, learn to embrace it bro.

moving on, i have learned that nyancat, the internet phenomenon of yesteryear, is actually a pop tart slash cat that shits rainbows. not that's this is breaking news to anyone but me, of course. regardless, it just strikes me how shit as irrelevant and logic defying can ever become such a hit. of course the cat wasn't alone. it had the likes of rebecca black, aaron tan, steven lim and hosehbo for company.

le sigh.

never fails to amaze me, pop culture. how the most inane, vapid things can be a overnight sensation while things that are actually note worthy go unnoticed.
