Internet mean-spiritedness hits a new low

What did the Foo Fighters do to deserve getting dragged into this?

 

Big him to talk about them.

 

I agree this took nasty "humor" to a new low. Mean, nasty and stupid ... what goes around will come around, though.

Oh, and kudos to a fellow Daily Iowan alum for his "What's Your Problem" column in the Tribune. Good stuff by a good reporter.

 

FYI, folks, journalism has unfortunately gone in the same mean-spirited direction.

 

I wouldn't take the time to take pictures of strangers. I don't even take pictures of people I know.
However, I don't complain about another's right to take pictures or to make fun of people.
I'm not interested, so I haven't seen the Web site. The fact that it exists does not bother me.

 

I felt guilty enough when I saw a woman who is at the waterpark, 8 3/4 months pregnant, wearing a bikini with a tattoo of a tiger across her entire belly, and slyly pointed her out to my wife, so we could share a laugh.

Taking a picture of said person and posting it on the Internet is pretty bad.

 

This has nothing do with with whether someone has a "right" to do any of those things. Of course they do.

It is still repugnant behavior.

 

The guy who runs it is 28? What a fucking tool. I could see if it's a college kid, but 28? At what point do you grow up?

 

Another site that I figure is someday going to cause someone to go postal is topix.com.

I refer to it as a cesspool of stupidity.

If you are not familiar with it, just type in the above and it picks up on your location with all the topics started by the local idiots "so-and-so has VD" "who has the nastiest whatever" "so-and-so has a tiny cock" "this chick screws for money" etc, on and on.

 

I must admit that some of these sites, like AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com are pretty hilarious. Granted, that's not as mean-spirited as some of the sites that have been mentioned.

 

Just expressing an opinion.

 

A lot of people never seem to.
