Some people are angry at other people in charge, for their wanting to look at stuff they put out for everyone else to look at.The internet today took another great evolutionary step towards its hallowed destiny (known only as the "Monkey/Typewriters" scenario) as whinging techno-tards bashed their faces against their keyboards in response to the government asking to do something that will probably only affect self-publicising, amateur criminals.
Once again the Internetters completely forgot that they’ve already given the government their details with every passport, driving licence and jobseekers allowance application; and then also completely failed to recall they’ve already handed their details across to umpteen different sites simply because of a flashy web-page and a catchy jingle.
Home Office spokesman, Vernon Coaker, defended the possibility of the government’s access to such online personal details. "I think what’s been overlooked by those complaining is that Social Network sites are the internet equivalent of shouting an ongoing personal commentary in the street whilst showing your photo album to passers-by. These Webmongs have somehow endowed themselves with a God-given right to total privacy despite wanting to fart out minute-by-minute updates and photos of EVERY-F*CKING-LITTLE-THING THEY DO into the public domain."
"I can’t understand what the fuss is about. Google and Yahoo already have all the information about those dirty sites you’re looking at. If anything we’re pretty late to the party. We really couldn’t give a shit about those photos of thing that happened that one time, with that geezer and the bottle of vodka. Of course it’s still great fun to find those attractive girlies who are friends-of-friends, that’s why we really love these sites. We're excluding Twitter of course, f*ck knows what value that has. It’s like listening to the Earth vomit”
Also asked to comment was Mark Zionberg, founder of Facebook. His first comment was simply "Oh for friggsakes..."
"First you’re shouting at us about your privacy, then the application designers, now the sodding government?! May I remind you that you don’t have to put all that shit out there in the first place. If we gave you a pad of paper, and you draw a willy on it, you can’t blame us when you get in trouble for showing it to a policeman, can you? Oh, right… well give me my pen back then.
