Kind of funny, I guess...thought of you guys today.
I'm taking a class called Rhetorical Analysis in the Media, and today we watched a movie about internet forum spammers.
They showed the whole situation from their perspective, and how these people, usually teenagers, are paid to come to forums and pretend like they're just like us to attain information and the like. It was pretty funny. They called them "cool hunters". I called them spammers.

paying kids to hang out in forums to get information on being cool? Jesus christ....
They need to do MUCH more homework if they are going to INTERNET FORUMS to learn about cool.... unless of course its like studying an ice cube to learn about molten lava.. you know, get the opposite down for comparison... Dotnb get me wrong.. But we are all a bunch of geeks.. You all know that, right?

Damn straight, we're cool! You kids think you know about INTERNETz? Hell, son, I was on the net before the "Ate My Balls" page trend started back in the day. I was there at the beginning of Goatse & Tubgirl. It's called 'cred' son. That's why I can bitch on message boards about the new design of Optimus Prime raping my childhood. I was there. Step back.
Now I'm going to go home and cry while I masturbate to Hentai...

"cool" is subjective. Fuck societal definitions

i saw a very similar (perhaps exactly the same) video called "Merchants of Cool" that was really chilling to realize how sophisticated these merchanidising folks are. . .scary shit
oddly enough - i took a class with exaclty the same title - where are you in school? I went to penn state. . . and we did a 'rhetorical analysis of media' course as well. . . weird?!?!
