Tweets and Facebook wall posts, can you leave me alone now? I have fucking voted and that's it!
Over the weekend, people tweeted and retweeted, wrote their own or copied others' wall posts in FB, about the same thing over and over. "Vote, vote, vote." Okie, I've voted; are you happy now? What change it brought to my life? Nothing! It's business as usual and I'm enslaved again like every other Mondays.

What to make of the by-election results would simply be another round of dull jive. This by-election/referendum was just taking the futility and absurdity of the Village's politics to a new level. Yet, it is certainly a big slap on the faces of the online pan-dem bandwagon this time; nerds really need to learn that the world is bigger than your 17' monitor, iPhone and broadband connectivity. Let's assume all of those ~579,000 Villagers were annoyed to vote by your tweets, Facebook wall posts, and SMS spams; still millions of people out there are pretty ignorant of the great things you accomplished online. You might want to accuse the Beijing ass-kissers for "mobilising" their supporters not to vote this time. But since when democratic politics is not about mobilisation of people? The LSD-Civic Party alliance triggered this by-election, you basement dwellers failed to mobilise more people to turn out online, the initiative failed, as simple as that. You can go on with your nerd rage online. IRL, WFC?
Maybe it's time to expand the definition of Social Media Douchebag to include those retards who imagine they're changing the world on the Internet. I mean, THE Internet! Serious Business that is!

Whatever political experience Crystal lacks, her dress more than makes up for it. Or should I say, whatever fabric her dress lacks, her intellectual and political prowess more than makes up for it. One sees what one wants to see.
ReplyDeletePoliticians are getting younger, David Cameron is not even 44. It's not a game for older or old folks anymore.
Maybe the libertines here can run for something next time around?

In 20/20 hindsight, this must be a dress left over from her so called goldfish summer job. Nice.
