Now that I've vented (thanks for letting me piss my rage all over your comment section) I just wanted to note that these forms of social media we're seeing - in venues like Facebook, Myspace, YouTube, Twitter et al - work on another level of community that seemed to have been passing from existence for a while.

The idea of tribes or small villages - McLuhan's "global village", if you will - are coming to the fore. It used to be one could dissolve into the anonymity of a city or cyberspace and be rendered distant from the social constraints of peers and community. But now the world is collapsing again into small and vibrant bundles of people who are able to exercise their scorn and praise in ways they couldn't before.

It's not quite vigilante justice or running folks out of town on a rail, nor simple but effective shunning of those who cross the mutually agreed boundaries of what is deemed right and wrong. But it is voice and action of a community bringing the force of their will to bear upon any who would transgress it.

Interesting, shit, ain't it?

Loads of possibilities for it to go right or wrong or who knows where.

One thing we can be certain of on this day - Kenny is a fucking douche.

Cheers.

Put that little fucker in the prison showers and let the other inmates treat him like poor Dusty. That whole thing just sickened me. I'm no advocate for corporal or capital punishment but it's hard to set aside the visceral feelings of disgust and rage that erupt from seeing a human being behave like a total fucking piece of shit. "Douchebag of the Day" is being too kind to Kenny. What a fucking sadist tard.
