I Either Have the Dumbest Readers, Or Somewhere Along the Way I've Gotten off Track


You're right, you think I like who I've become? Some guy just espousing off the cuff commentary on news stories before work, the occasionally amusing work related anecdote?

Somewhere along the way I’ve apparently gone off track…What started as goofy, gonzo site to kill time, a few laughs for your average cube worker, maybe make a few advertising bucks, has lost it's way…Somewhere along the way I came to this, making fun of grandmas in the news for giving guys sore balls…I have no idea how I got here…Certainly not the kind of story I figured I’d be doing when I started this…I mean if you told me a simple and juvenilistic humor based website from a working guys perspective would have stooped to the level of laughing at stories where Nana’s are discussing crotch shots I would have said thank you kindly, but that is not what we’re all about.

Ahh who the hell am I kidding…lighten the hell up people…read for context for once..I can’t tell you how many times a week I get ridiculous comments or emails complaining about how insensitive I am, or how can I comment on something I know nothing about…or my favorite, “thanks for reminding me that bloggers aren’t journalists.” Fucking geniuses.  Look at this site, look at the bar to the right, its got a video called cannonball dookie…I’m not out here trying to win a Peabody award.

And this isn’t me having thin skin, or not being able to take what I dish out, I love it, confirms my every belief about general society…you’re dumb as shit and take things way too seriously…It’s just I’m always astounded that people who are offended don’t get the general vibe of the site and ignore it, it’s baffling…like are you new to the internet? You don’t get how this works? You want news go to your newspaper, cnn,  Fox News, whatever your local shit is…the sites name is www.thealttab.com, not exactly the picture of journalistic integrity or fair and balanced stories.

This is not to say that I don't appreciate your readership either, I love comments, brightens my day and warms my heart. I hope  you'll all bookmark the site, if nothing else it'll teach you to read at a 5-6th grade level, which apparently, judging by the feedback I consistently receive, would be a huge improvement for the better part of America.
