More About Blogs

Another distinct behaviour I have observed in blogs is postocopying. (Bang! There's an invented word right there!) What's postocopying? It's basically like Xerox, only the one doing it is a retard. One guy takes what's already in another blog, rewords it or just copy and pastes it, and then publishes it in his own blog. Voilah! Instant blog entry. No sweat, no tears, no common sense.

Abso-fucking-lutely brilliant.

Not.

What is this, lechon-manok mentality? One guy sees profit in selling smokeroasted chicken with rich hickory smoke flavour from vehicular exhaust, and the rest of the community follows. Worst bit of this sort of thinking is that the clone competitors as I would call them would place their stalls beside the original store. The same goes for pearl shakes, laundromats, water-filling stations and prostitution dens (the last one is probably the only good thing in the listl; go drive the price down with competition! viva la proletariat!)

*ahem*

I guess the idea can be applied for blogs too, afterall, lechong manok vendors got to go online after some time. If some popular image, article or some other intellectual property attracts people and might even make the site owner sound more intellectual, then damn what's supposed to be their unique piece of claim on the net.

Screw integrity in the virgin ass.

Bobloggers paste it anyway, not thinking that there's a good chance some other guy in his blog link list has the same email forwarding junk in his blog. So basically browsing through blogs nowadays is like going to those tiangge-based shopping centers where you encounter at least 4 shops selling the same trinkets in a single floor. Same shit, same boring shit.

Do a self test. How many blogs in your recent memory contains an entry about Superman and Jesus being compared juxtaposed? I got five. FIVE. That's a basketball team full of assholes already and none of them probably even started the original idea, and it's not even such a good idea in the first place. Wanna try again? Look for Money Pacquaio.

I'd stab these people in the face with spoons if it werent an exercise in futility. There's just too many of them and too few spoons to use.

Now, I'm not saying you can't say anything that's not originally from you. You cant be thinking of new material all the time. There's a limit to what undiscussed topics are at hand. Not all people can be as funny as they all claim in their friendster testimonals. Occassionally you share what good you saw in another guy's work or you borrow existing work already for effect, and it's all good.

But a blog is supposed to be a weblog - a personal log of the author/s put online in the form of a website. I visit a site to see unique content and instead I see blogs containing shit from forwarded email day after day. Listen assholes, if I wanted to read spam I would have just opened my spam inbox with 2000 messages waiting for my perusal and swallow cyanide pills.

I'm thinking people who do this kind of travesty are the same retarded kids from gradeschool who kept copying essays instead of making their own; the types who would answer anything by the book and stare at you blankly at the first salvo of an opnion-based question. Somehow they grew up and their brains evolved to be internet-ready. Pity the net.

And yes, for those who seem to be enjoying asking, an overwhelming majority of written content on this site is mine save for one song lyrics and a couple of borrowed pictures. Stop asking.

Stop making the internet redundant. If you cant contribute anything, don't force the issue. You can help isntead by going back to your destiny of mixing cement and not bothering anyone about your problems with chewing sand.

And make sure it's good cement.
