Weird,WEIRD virtual world.

It's been so long since i logged into my blogger account, and i have nobody but myself to blame, being the lazy bum i am. And i am now back with a vengeance (sort of) to cram in all i have noticed about the very weird virtual world i live in. (Tres pathetic). To begin with, the Internet is a major boon to the "glued to my laptop and numb in the bum from all that sitting" types like me. And there are so many avenues to explore in this beautiful yet weird virtual world. Why weird, you ask me. Well, some idiots irritate a quasi-grammar nazi like me by using that godforsaken English lingo which is "so kewl,u knw". Take for example, this one:

Can i use the wheelchair option, please? Preferably one where i can  'accidentally'  fall and  hurt myself?
To the homies who use this distressing lingo that is murdering the beautiful language mercilessly and slowly, please PLEASE have pity on some of us who actually adhere to typing/writing the words just the way they are, not "lyk dis wch u find easy". Because sooner or later, someone is going to end up throwing a dictionary on your face, and who knows, i just might be that one. Yes, i can be menacing that way (Oh wait, that was a joke). And the other stupid trend which is setting fire to Tumblr and my Facebook newsfeed is the apparently very meaningful art of writing very obvious facts on a random picture of a scantily dressed girl or a couple making out like there's no tomorrow, like this one:
"I love how people want to smack us with a shovel when they see this."
The picture inserted above so carefully (with the source blurred with such adept expertise by me) is just one of the many,many examples hammered into the web. We are tangled in this very web where people post meaningless drivel like this and tarnish our basic senses with its senseless and totally obvious crap. I can talk for hours about this, but there are other things to be discussed too. So moving on, the next irritating thing is the "likewhore" trend. The most pointless trend, i believe. So, this trend is totally a Facebook thing, with some idiot who needs constant reassurance that chocolates or pretty hair needs a like to emphasize a person's like for it. (Of course people love both chocolates and pretty hair, you moron!) This could be forgiven as a lapse of common sense on their parts. But some people take it to extremes, like: 

Well, that escalated quickly.
I hope this poor lady knows that her picture is being used to garner likes by some sadistic kid in some corner of the world with a dark look in his eyes and a melted banana for a brain. So, if i don't like this picture, it means my grandma is going to die, is it? Stupid baboon farts. There are so many stupid things going on in the Internet, and i could go on ranting about them, but i put an end to it right here. All i can say is that its a weird virtual world. And as a fitting end to this post:
