#212 – If Life Gives You a Lemon Party, Make Lemonade and Then Pour It In Your Eyes
on August 6, 2012 at 12:01 amThe Inter-Webs is a wonderful and scary place. And if I were to give a warning to anyone, it would be simply… “Some Things Can Not be Unseen”. It is for this very reason that we must be careful when skipping into those dark, unexplored woods.
“Rule 34″
I used to joke that you could judge a person’s age, simply by noting where his or her e-mail was from. And whenever I get an e-mail that is from AOL, I’d think GRANDMA! (Then I remember that Grandma is dead and the e-mail must be from a… from a… a ghost!)
So all this wandering, got my ass a wondering…. I wondered, what all those lesbian chat rooms of my youth looked like now over at AOL. Certainly the Ellen Page’s and Amanda Heard’s can’t be logging into the same Meow-Meow Room that I used to haunt.
Besides my Grandma, who is haunting these rooms over at AOL? Is AOL just one big Lemon Party?
I’m sure I could find out pretty easily but then I remember my advice about the Inter-Webs: ”Some Things Can Not be Unseen”. So, yeah, sure I’m curious. But I’m not THAT curious.
So until then… all of us over here at Team Mohagen tip our hats to those crazy naked Octogenarians that might or might not be over at AOL. Shine on your crazy naked diamonds. Shine on.
The internets is all about cringe-inducing imagery. The worst are the ones where the person sends you a link with a warning attached…something to the affect “This will f*** up the rest of your day, enjoy” then of course you open it. And what does it do? It effs up the rest of your day. But you have no one to blame, because you were warned. And all you want to do is curl up in a ball and cry away the image of ‘man_breaks_leg_in_slave_leia_outfit_while_dancing_to_lady gaga’. Of course…there is one tried and true way cope…send the link to someone else
Sharing is caring.
I had a lot of friends in the art community and many believed that if you weren’t “shocking” people then you weren’t doing your job. I’ve been shocked enough by Goat.se and two girls with their cup to last me a lifetime. It often reminds me of people who drink something terrible. “Gack. This is awful. Here. Try it.” Hmmmm. No thanks. I’ll trust you. “No, really. Try it. It’s awful.”
