A little Self-Awareness

Normally, I wouldn't condone self-awareness while internet commenting, as it inevitably leads to a decrease in publishable material as far as this blog is concerned. However, today we have a rare case of self-awareness actually improving the quality of a comment.

Now for the particulars.

The video in question:



The Comment:







Hats off to KC36W. Stringing the reader along with all caps, misspellings, negative grammar and doubly unnecessary quotation marks only to capriciously draw attention to the angry, poorly written nature of the comment is a brilliant piece of invention.

But the true wonder here is a near admission of error. That would make this only the second time in the history of the internet that someone has admitted to be anything less than completely correct.

(The first time was a little seen event known as "The Kanye Anomaly")

The truth is that there is no true admission of error here, only a passing recognition of the frivolity of internet commenting. I pray, for the sake of my snarky disposition, that this is but a fleeting notion in the collective unconscious of internet users.
