This is the age of technology, I suppose.
I would think the idea is that she is expressing her emotions to the masses
via the internet, and the world is more pathetic in the sense that nobody
gets out anymore. We all sit at home and communicate electronically. But
also in that sense it has opened up the world, we can talk to people from
all over instead of being limited to people in our immediate area.
Either way what's really pathetic about the video is that she is crying
over being called a douche. Oh noes, somebody insulted me, that's totally
never happened before. My world is crumbling. *faints*

i agree with you to a certian extent. i mean, yes it is nice to be ablt to
talk with people from around the world. As fer as my emotions go, i have
made it my goal to try and keep people from knowing whats going on inside.
i know this is only my opinion, but the more you expose yourself the mre
vournerable you are to every one else.

Reading the comments on that video, I think the general consensus is that
she's faking it.

"Age of Technology", my hairy ass. The "Age of Technology" was when some
cave-dwelling fuckstick rolled his first wheel. The "Age of Technology"
was when our hominid ancestors started floating on rafts so they could be
eaten by predators on entirely different continents. The "Age of
Technology" was the Industrial Revolution when we discovered that we could
put 10 year-olds on assembly lines for 14 hour shifts to free up the day
for a Victorian robber baron to work on making his fat ass even larger.
You've gotten some different toys now (made out of petroleum and the blood
of poor, brown people), and you think this constitutes something new?
Sorry to break it to you, but changes in technology were going on long
before you ever dropped by this pretty, blue, cracker-barrel of an oblate
spheriod and that hasn't had any profound effect on business as usual.
We've gone through the "Age of Belief", past the "Age of Reason" and took a
right turn into the fucking "Age of Oprah", and that's what the
whining, douche of a drama-whore you so graciously plunked in our lap is so
busy expressing. (Don't know about "faking it", Pix... clinical studies
show that morons really believe half the shit they spew). She's the poster
child for a new "age", right. It's the Age When the Only Bipedal Species

Living With Their Heads Up Their Own Rectums.
Yeast in a petri dish, baby. They consume everything until the colony
starves to death, or some kindly, old scientist gives them sugar until they
die from swimming in their own waste. Right before that last gasp, when
the last individual yeast from the colony is about to kick off from being
addled by it's own shit, it probably cries a loud, angry river... not
because of the agony of being poisoned by its own waste products, nor even
the great yawning chasm of death opening its jaws to engulf it... no, it
cries because yesterday the yeast next to it called it a douche.

But perhaps, by the age of technology, he was referring to the fact that
never before has the chnology been so pervasive... the traditional
generation gap has been widened to the point that parents can't understand
half of what their children say beecause unlike any other time in our
recorded history, technology has seeped into every pore of our society.

more like the poster child for euthenasia......
To each his own I do suppose...Sad yes...very..... Some people just suck at
life and should cease to breathe.... Unfortunately there isn't much that we
can do other than perhaps call her a douche and perhaps she will cry
harder....that would bring me joy lol.

*glomps Domkitten* XD But whatever you do dear, don't eat the chalk.
When I said "Age of Technology" I was merely going off what I hear around
me. Maybe I should have said Nanotechnology. *shrug* I also hear that we
are the Internet Generation. Maybe it would have been better to say that.
But I'm sure we can all look past these technical details back to the point
of the topic...
pale-face: keeping ones emotions to themselves is about the same in real
life and online. it goes to personal preference for the most part. She
probably doesn't realize that she is making herself vulnerable, or maybe
she just hasn't been online a lot and thinks we will all be sympathtic like
people tend to be in real life when face to face on something like that. Or
maybe she was acting and it was all in fun to see how many douches would
internet hug her. Because things on the internet are often like that.
*shrug*
I'd hope (no pun intended) that almost everyone has seen that since I
posted that link in the shoutbox earlier this month.
Incidentally, for you slower students, "Hope" is a comedienne who currently
works on MAD-TV. There is a series of those "Hope is Emo" shorts... and
yes, they are a joke.

Yes! I saw it on YouTube. Also, Bettie's post was quoting the first
episode.
I loved her conversation with her dad about the yogurt.
Another good one is Emo
Rangers. A tearful rendition of the old power rangers shows.

Fing wow, ok, i can understand getting worked up over something like your
childhood friend dying but that is truly, completely, obcenely,
rediculously, unimaginably, pathetic. like, now i think i have to get a
thesaurous just to come up with all of the words correlating with pathetic
and then make them in to one giant monstrosity just to begin reaching the
depths of this persons tardom. but i thing that the funniest thing is that
if this person were to read this they would get confuzed by F-ing not to
mention fail to posses the depth of understanding how completely futile and
rediculious they just made of themselves. I think humanity just got a -5
to all roles for the rest or evolution as long as this person remains
within a spitings distance of the gene pool. I pray thee allmighty
darwin enact the rule of survival of the fittest up on who so ever
commeserate with she. I mean, i was only slightly confuzed to begin with
due to the four and a half hours of explanation to start that which is a
truly horrible excuse of a bipedal meat bag. And people like that my dear
children is why shotguns were invented.

Well, Anotherlostdog, quite possibly the only use of a shotgun in her
future is the situation that might incur when her father/older brother/male
father figure type holds it up to the guy who knocks her up and says to
marry her. She seems like she'd be the type to seek comfort sex from
friends and forget to think about birth control.

____________________ "I believe that woman is planning to shoot me again."
but... I would like to point out... while technology has been moving and in
existence since the first time a guy noticed that a log rolled and decided
it was easier to place a sledge on logs than to drag it...advances were
measured in centuries and decades...
no matter who's claim of invention (meucci, grey or bell) the telephone was
invented in the late 1800's... stayed about the same through the 50's when
a machine could recognize tonnes and automatically switch... 75 years...
next major innovation LATE 80's when digital switching became a
possibility... enter the slick box, double transmition bandwith... 40
years.. the mid 90s, next innovation... analogue cellular.. about 7
years... digital phone lines (Digital subscriber lines) late 90's 4
years... digital cellular ... early 00's 2 years...
it is not that technology has always been there...it is that... in 50
years...we have made more advances than we have in our entire history...
ages were measued in metalluygical deiscovery... and now ... by that
standard, we're going through an age a week, or in som cases, before
lunch.
In my bedroom, I have 4 computers (long sroty, It's like I run a homeless
computer shelter)... the one that I only uses as a secondary display for
extended desktop space - because it is oo slow for anything else I want to
do with it has more processing power than all of nasa when we went ot the
moon, and could easily take care of all of the computing needs of nasa when
we started the shuttle program... I have a calculator that has more
processing power (and is more versatile) than a space shuttle computer...
Like an avalanche, the flow of technology is a cascading effect... and
never before have we been more dependent on it... while technology has been
there... today... we need it more than ever... we have turned ourselves
into co dependent children... think back to new years eve 1999... everyone
was terrified that the computer systems would crash... money, water,
electricity, food...all dependent on technology...
without it..the average person will die... because they know no other
way... the age of technology means we are fucked

Sure, feral.
A culture who relied upon flint-knapped projectile points to procure their
food, clothing and shelter were less dependent upon on their
technology for their survival than we are... 'cos, man we likes us our
toys. I don't see any holes in that argument.
