So mecha watched this video, because it's about zombies and anything that's about zombies he can watch/read/whatever and then make up some opinion to then write about on the Internetpost a TOTALLY SERIOUS review on the Zombie Rights Campaign blog.

And the video was... well, kind of lame, I think. CAVEAT: I did not watch it, I only heard it. He was watching it on his computer on the other side of the living room. When I hear him watching things that sound amusing to me I go over and make him rewind so I can watch with him. This did not sound amusing. It sounded pretty lame actually. It's basically "zombies are played out and boring", only they take six minutes to say it. Of course, there might be some hilarious injokes that fans of the Mega641 product would catch but that went right over my head; I am the first to admit that random inscrutable-to-outsiders injokes are HILARIOUS. My tape idea isn't working!

So mecha made a ZRC post that was basically "blah blah this video is mean to zombies and also boring blah".

Then, mysteriously, the post gets like two dozen comments all at once, of which about two are constructive and the rest are insulting mecha's sexuality, intelligence, et cetera.

And unlike the video, those comments actually made me laugh.

Flame on, you darling little forum weenies! It delights me that you are so intensely into your entertainment product of choice that if someone expresses a negative opinion about it, your response is to scurry to the defense as fast as your trolly little legs can take you, and let fly the insults, condescension, and... Russian, for some reason.

No, seriously, that's hilarious.

Of course, by posting this I run the risk of being discovered by these champions of justice, reason, and Sense Of Proportion, Seriously Dude. Perhaps I, too, will be informed that I am a "faaaaggot" for having my own opinion about a video on the Internet! But I will deserve my fate, which makes it okay.

People who screech about needing to not take things so seriously, in response to an opinion expressed by a civil rights group that represents a demographic that does not actually exist? Adorable win.

(Yeah, I'm being kind of condescending myself. But notice how I do it on my own turf instead of leaving flaming bags of virtual dog doo on other people's sites? That's because I'm the classy kind of sarcastic jerk.

Oh, PS, I doubt anyone cares enough to do this, but: please no counter-flaming on the behalf of me/mecha/the ZRC/whatever. That would make me sad instead of amused.)



1. I can't actually tell from the site whether it would be appropriate to refer to this as Mega64, PATV, both, or neither. I also don't really care enough to find out. Unlike all those commenters, I'm too lazy to come up with an informed, reasoned message before I start typing in the big shiny box above the "post" button.
