pepperpots, all of you.

This green tea tastes vaguely of pepperoni.

Today’s cool-thing: Kongregate. It appears to be the metro version of Newgrounds’ game section. In particular, take a gander at The Fancy Pants Adventures. If only for the character animation. Such hair.

Also 5 Differences, which, while being a lovely adventure in rotoscoping, loses something of its replay value when one overlays one pane on the other with a difference filter. Yay Photoshop.

I’ve gotten an invite to a save-facebook group. I JUST GOT THE NEWS FROM MARK ZUKERBURG THAT I HAVE TO MAKE A GROUP AND HAVE 2,000,000 PEOPLE JOIN IT IN 7 DAYS OR FACEBOOK WILL SHUTDOWN! INVITE ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS! HURRY WE ONLY HAVE 7 DAYS!. (upd: either I’ve been banned, or the group no longer exists. heh)

Which, yes, makes for an excellent appeal to the masses. Heavens, we might lose our Facebook? Must. Join. Group. Even if it doesn’t make any freaking sense. Mark Zukerburg [sic] contacted the group admin personally, and charged him with the creation of a group upon whose membership count will rest the very fate of Facebook? I mean, yeah, Facebook’s in active development, the employee base just exceeded 300, a ton of overexcited investors are looking for an IPO and their annual revenue exceeds YOUR MOMOHHHH, WHAT NOW?, but ZOMG FACEBOOK WILL BE SHUT DOWN! Quick – sign the petition! Help America to win the facebook race! Myspace is for France – Facebook is for AMERICA!

And oo, look. A tribute to those who passed at the Jokela School Shooting Finland. Because there is no memorial message more powerful than one posted on an alarmist social networking group.

sigh. The Internet makes you stupid.

By the way, have you seen AT&T’s digital world campaign? It’s a fairly interesting concept – answer questions and create a fun little dna-esque profile. … Never mind that the answers don’t seem to have much correlation to the profile’s appearance, never mind that the identifiers are preset and hardly unique (DigitalDude7, anyone?) – you too can create your twenty-question digital world and, erm, meet celebrities! I mean, you can’t change your password or anything, but hey – digital world! And celebrities!

>_> Idiocy angers me. Ha, to an extent that it’s probably irrational. The irony.

And now, something silly:
