Hello fellow Internet person!
This post isn't a review per say, however the topic itself has managed to spread itself over the Internet like a rabid disease so I thought it would be relevant. I am of course talking about the new 'hit single' by Rebbecca Black or as I call her 'The reason for everything shit in the world'.
I'm sure that most of you have heard this shitty excuse for music from somewhere, as it seems nearly impossible to escape the song. She's received millions of views on YouTube and has become an overnight celebrity, although for the wrong reasons. In interviews she claims to not understand why people are 'bullying' her with their insulting comments, but it's pretty plain to see. The majority of the general public enjoy the fact that they can easily abuse nearly anyone from the comfort of their own home, so creating a song purely celebrating the amazingness of 'Friday' was quite literally begging to have the shit ripped out of it. However, more influential celebrities such as Simon Cowell and Lady GaGa are also ignorant to the reasoning behind so much blind hatred. They called her work 'genius' and think that anyone who dislikes it is just talking 'shit'. To be honest this just says something about them, aren't they supposed to be intelligent? Apparantly not.
This then got me on to thinking about fame in general. I mean, Rebbecca Black has nearly killed the music industry, but she's also become incredibly famous for doing so. It seems that nowadays a person can become an icon for anything, even being hated by the masses. Gone are the days when a person had to actually show talent and intelligence to be famous and successful.
Depressing....no?

Going once!
Hello again you.
As I'm sure you know the Internet is teeming with all kinds of different sites for you to gorge yourself on when life becomes a little too boring. So, what better way to waste a few hours of your depressing life than spend as much money as possible on items you could actually live happily without.
There are thousands of websites willing to take away your hard earned money in exchange for their 'merchandise', but a certain site has grabbed my attention in the same way a Swedish wench grabs the testicles of a young British solider, who's after a night of meaningless and degrading sex. Too far? I doubt I care. This is called
Madbid! (www.madbid.com)
I'm sure you've seen the advert on the telebox, but if you haven't, I've kindly taken time to find you a link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TTas_upDlU)
This extremely shite excuse for a website promotes itself with promises of every single item you could possibly need, at a price that is 'Mad'. People watch the advert and think 'Wow, £800 for a brand new car! I'm in!'. But alas, life is never that easy. After rapidly registering to the site, people will soon realise how fucking difficult and expensive it is to actually win any of the bids.
First of all, you actually have to buy the right to place a bid by purchasing things called 'credits', which on the site are worth '1p'. However you have to pay £10 for 30 of them. If my maths serves me correctly, this means that £10 is actually converted into 30p. Not a transition that any sane person would be willing to make. Then, you have compete with the rest of the general public in a bid war, which is more aggravating than trying to find some kind of logic behind the latest Lady GaGa costume (Seriously, she was in a fucking egg!) Then, after years of struggling, you manage to win something. You have to spend more money on the total bid! Take my advice, and stay away from this shit.
Right, I've finished.

Insults from a coward
I see you've come back. I thought you would.
More things are becoming increasingly popular on the web these days, for the most random of reasons. One new site that has recently decided to jump on to our screens and fill a couple of pointless minutes is:
Formspring (www.formspring.com)
This site allows anyone to ask anything to anyone they choose. Now the basis of this website seems (at first) to be that of an interesting and fun idea. However people are people and have the ability to fuck up anything they lay their grubby hands on. One of the major flaws of the site is the fact that it allows you to ask a question anonymously. Therefore people, or as they are sometimes referred to 'Trolls', bombard innocent people with all sorts of insulting and offensive questions that they would never have the balls to say to anyone face to face.
For example, 'How much of an unfunny ass are you? (Its a trick question..)' is a question that I myself have received from an anonymous user, or as i refer to them, coward. Of course I'm not really bothered whether they say it to my face or not, as their opinion of me means very little. I guess there's just a little more dignity in insulting someone to their face, rather than masking yourself behind the Internet. Just saying.....
However, if you ignore the morons who abuse the site Formspring can be a fairly enjoyable way to spend a bit of time. It allows you to ask the most random of questions that only the Internet can inspire. From the classic questions such as 'Ninja V Pirate' to the oddest of questions such as 'ever worn bicycle shorts?', there's always something funny to be said. Providing you have the IQ of above 40.
Quick change of topic, I'm assembling a small group of people together to write a 'Blog Compilation'. There will be seven of us in total and each person will have to write an article one day a week on any topic that they like. If you're interested please contact me via my email:
super_chicken_68@hotmail.com, message me on Facebook or contact me via smoke signals. Extra bonus points for the person who manages to actually do the last one.
Right that's it.
Go Away.

The Start of Things to Come!
Hello viewer! Milnesy speaking and you're reading my opinions.
I recently realised that I am moping about the house and not informing enough people about my frivolous and pretentious views on things that neither of us care about. Also, having failed to secure a place in higher education I thought it best to keep my writing skills going, in the same way that an out of work writer does before they take the inevitable jump off a motorway bridge.
The Internet is jam packed with everything a person could physically need in their entire meaningless life, and I have instantly appointed myself as the judge of the quality of said websites. Do remember that these are only opinions and not necessarily fact. Nevertheless, if you don't agree with me then you're probably a bad person in general.
So where to start? The web is a big source filled with: crappy information, porn, social networks, porn, spam, porn and cute little videos of kittens in hilarious circumstances. Therefore, finding a place to actually start is proving to be a difficult task. So, I'll start with one of the big websites that I'm sure you have heard of.
YOUTUBE! (www.youtube.com)
YouTube is one of THE biggest sites on the web, and for good reason. Millions of mindless drones endlessly view and subscribe to thousands of channels created by the public, and this is why it has become so popular. Becoming famous because of YouTube is not unheard of, even though very few people achieve it. The most obvious person to use as an example of this is the squeaky voiced, rat faced little shit Lucas Cruikshank, although you probably know him by his alter-ego 'Fred'. I have to admit that what he has done is commendable, as he's taken his talent of being a talentless freak of nature and managed to gain a career. However, I can't help think that the only reason that he has become so famous is due to the fact that the majority of his viewers are complete and utter tools, and there a millions of tools in the world that have access to the Internet. Now, as I write this I realise that you the reader may be a fan of 'Fred'. So when I say tool, I am indeed referring to you.
Right, I'm bored now.
Bye.
