The Korean Fan Death out: thats not funny guys cousin gerald died that way

[Quiji]

The internet broadens our horizons in new and exciting ways. Mostly with foreign insults and random phrases.

Mostly the internet scars me with knowledge no human should be aware of.

[Elin]

I had a feeling it was something like that.

We appear to have something of a disagreement, my bespectacled friend. I'm afraid I must insist on challenging you to a gentlemanly duel.

Pistols at dawn?

This shall be an exquisite event, indeed.

Yeah, that too. But at least now we'll be prepared when we see someone get run over by a large truck in the real world!

[Ivolt]

Is PSN still down.

[Elin]

Yeah, that too. But at least now we'll be prepared when we see someone get run over by a large truck in the real world!

Or when we see two women vomit partially digested fecal matter into each other's mouths. You can hardly step outside these days without seeing that!

Very well. What manner of weapon shall we settle this dispute with? Or perhaps a pugilistic bout is in order?

I will defend my honor to the death. MY GOOD NAME HAS BEEN SULLIED.

Normally that would have disgusted me. But now, thanks to the internet, it's hilarious!

Started up the PS3 and it seems to be here.

[Cosmic]

Yeah, that too. But at least now we'll be prepared when we see someone get run over by a large truck in the real world!

Smartphone camera and Facebook app at the ready?

Smartphone camera and Facebook app at the ready?

Rule 1 - Always keep the shot in focus and framed up.

Rule 2 - As a cameraman, you don't exist. No speaking or moving.

Rule 3 - When you get home, upload that shit onto the internet asap.

Thanks internet!

[Cosmic]

Seriously though, who the fuck does that?

"Oh look, you've been mortally injured. I guess I should call an ambulance but first let me take a couple of snaps for the internet. Hey, do you think you could stop writhing around in pain for maybe two seconds please? The autofocus on this thing is appalling."

And again I find myself weeping for humanity.

[Elin]

In all seriousness, it's a little bit sad how much the internet has desensitised me to shocking images and videos. I mean it's still disgusting, but I'm rarely surprised anymore, nor particularly shocked or offended. I just roll my eyes, chalk it up as another 'oh internet...' moment, and go on with my life. When it probably ought to be the sort of stuff that haunts you weeks or even months afterwards. The internet has definitely toughened up both my mind and my stomach. Though I couldn't tell you whether that's a good thing or not.

I suppose this is all sort of a testament to just how traumatising that video by Brokencyde that Gare keeps posting is.

I think it's inevitable nowadays. People record everything. Anything that seems like it might be even remotely interesting gets videotaped. It's to the point where it's just an automatic reaction I think.

I think humanity is pretty much doomed at this point anyways though. Oh well, we had a pretty good run.

I know what you mean. Shock images that probably would have traumatized me a few years ago are like childs play now. I still haven't been able to decide if that's a good thing or not either, although something tells me it probably leans towards the latter.

I still have nightmares. Also, the video games song Ivolt likes to post.
