Apparently I’m a fetid, puss oozing c**t that give c**ts anywhere a bad name – though I am hoping [or deluding myself] that they actually mean my RKCR namesake.
Though I doubt it. *
I have to say, whilst part of me finds this sort of thing amusing … calling a bunch of people a bunch of names behind a mask of anonymity isn’t very big, clever or brave … especially as the ultimate revenge would be to take their anger and create something with it that makes the people who upset them choke on their views.
But hey, who am I kidding … we live in a World where the ‘illusion of gratification’ is for many people, good enough – though I’d love to know what the real reasons are for people slagging others off, just to see if it was justified or another example of the entitlement generation throwing their toys out of the pram.
I’m all for giving people with genuine grievances a platform to speak out without the risk of ‘corporate revenge’ … but what so many blogs and sites like this are actually doing is pandering to the ‘has been, never was’ fraternity … people who feel hard done for not getting the rewards or respect they believe they are due, even though they’ve never done anything to actually earn it.
Of course adland is one of those rare industries that can – and sometimes does – promote the insipid and the talentless to positions of ridiculous importance … but it appears to me that many of the comments are more to do with personal revenge than anything with real substance.
