You know what really grinds my gears? SOPA and PIPA. For
those who don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s pretty much the government
trying to regulate the internet for all Americans. And even though the bill did
not pass, it still ruined the internet for me. When the idea of SOPA and PIPA
came out, a lot of illegal websites for tv shows and movies shut themselves
down because they were afraid if the bill got passed, they would find
themselves in jail. But out of all the people that this bill affected was
college students. I mean what am I supposed to do during the day now that I can’t
finish my seasons of Modern Family and How I Met Your Mother? I mean I could
work on schoolwork, but now I just plan my schedule so I can leave 2 hours of
just looking for a site to watch my shows. So thank you US government, for
ruining my life. Also, you know what really grinds my gears? College Memes. These
cartoons were really freaking hilarious two weeks ago on stumbleupon. But once
people thought it was a good idea to create their own about their college, and
post them on facebook, I lost my mind. I get it, you’re related to the
situation, so you are obligated to like it so it will blow up everyone’s
newsfeed. But the thing that really irritates me the most is that most of the
memes that people make, don’t make sense.
I get it, you’re trying really hard for people to like you, but the truth is,
anyone can make obvious observations, but the actual funny people are smart
enough to put the right parts together. Just help us all and leave funny
pictures to actual funny people. Thanks

I totally agree about the internet thing. I feel the government is trying to get its hands on any power possible. Im glad the bill didnt pass.
ReplyDeleteOh, I totally got the "grind my gears" reference...but not the memes thing. Totally lost there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I had no idea that certain websites had closed up shop due to PIPA and SOPA. (So glad that it didn't pass either!) Don't worry, I'm sure you will find someplace to watch your shows, although you might have to pay for them.
