If only the internet was more sarcastic.
I don't get it. Or maybe I do. Not sure.
Anyway did anyone read the Jonathan Franzen essay on Edith Fucking Wharton? Hil-fucking-larious. My friend just called me and read me delicious excerpts.
Here is what apparently few people understand, tho it's clear as glass. Franzen is obviously a tool and a twit, basically a pretentious college student pretending to be "a writer", but the reason for his parodic canonization has nothing to do with him or the other purveyors of hipster/yuppie mannerist drivel (Lethem, Chabon, Foer, etc etc etc), it's just the simple fact that the East Coast journalist complex NEEDS to believe we live in an age of teeming creative genius. Otherwise they might be forced...to...um...recognize the miserable desolate emptiness of all our miserable desolate lives. Laugh out fucking loud.
Anyway, this is probably what is called hijacking the thread. But I didn't understand the thread (irony?) so whatevs.

Good one!
If only there was more bleggalgazing on the internet.
I'm not sure what that is, but I'll take your word for it.
I wish people on the internet would devote more energy to celebrating bygone eras of American pop culture, not shying away from its most insipid and banal manifestations.
... Actaully, I guess you more or less got that covered in your first example.
Franzen's novels are both fast and fun reads in a trashy airport novel kind of way.
Yes, how dare people write about things on the internet that I am not interested in. The internet clearly should be limited to topics and interests that are of concern to me. Nor should any topic or idea or meme or trope or whatever be dealt with more than once on the internet. Why, people act as if the internet were an open, democratic forum, where any old topic could be the subject of conversation, where anyone at all can start a conversation, where things can be said or discussed more than once or in more than one place, and where things that are of no interest to me are actually allowed!
