“I saw the best minds of my generation in chat rooms with the worst minds of my generation destroyed by bad Yelp reviews and a troll on Angies list after failed ebay auction bids dragging themselves through google adwords looking for SEO optimization while stirring to Kelly Clarkson on Itunes.
Message t shirt donning hipsters burning for the extra cash to afford optimized DSL connections and emoticon responses that stave off acronym exhaustion. Sat up chewing nicotine gum in the LCD monitors earthy glow floating over contemplating John Travolta’s latest disgruntled masseuse. Sober on Setraline who bared their brains to Yahoo after passing the CAPTCHA under a clever seeming screenname and saw Mohammedan menaces make the TSA frisk them at LAX.”
