Part 2: That baby for beer offer? Sorry, it was crack and the blogger who does not get it
Quote from the article:
“Because beer is trivial, beer is ordinary, and beer — as any who has watched “The Simpsons” knows — is funny. Crack cocaine is deadly, crack cocaine is strange, and crack cocaine is depressing.” “The baby-for-beer story shot around the Internet because — and this isn’t nice to say but it’s true — people found it amusing. They found it ha-ha funny.”’ |
Well, it’s not true just because you believe it to be so or took comments people posted literally. I know sociopaths who didn’t find it funny.
Mr. Leccese continues his dribble with:
Quote from the article:
“When it turns out the updated story is much more grim and much less amusing than the original story, even at a great emotional distance, there's no penalty if you just keep posting and tweeting the original story. It's a funnier story, after all.” |
Once again I think I speak for the internet when I say that no one found it funny. I can come up with better words; I am no journalist but will take a stab at it. Pathetic, unbelievable, sad, crazy, weird, odd and outrageous just to list a few. You see Mr. Leccese you need a thicker skin to be on the internet and reading comments. People make stupid comments all the time but you will find that it is a handful of people. If 50,000 people read the story and 50-1000 make a comment you can safely assume the majority of those tend to be the same trolls who post their same never changing opinion in other news stories. The God lovers must always post that it was God’s plan, the Republicans blame the Democrats, the Democrats blame the Republicans and no one changes their mind. It is often wasted space. Most of us don't bother.
The majority of us who posted or read the story and never commented did not need to state the obvious. Whether it was beer, crack or a shiny used car, it does not change the story. The dude tried to sell his child! If he did it for some herbal tea and some cash I guess you would find that alright? I mean who doesn’t want some healthy herbal tea and some cash? Herbal tea is good for you and you can buy stuff, like big screen TV’s with cash!
Pretty stupid thought, no? Welcome to the internet, have a beer, it actually does make you smile.
