From the man that gave an F to your kid’s artwork
Maddox has been a constant on the internet, some where between a persistent rash that can’t be gotten rid of, no matter how strong the antibiotics, and a very bright shining star of foresight and wisdom. Somewhere between these two extremes, lies Maddox’s genius. He’s often obnoxious, offensive and appalling, but damn if he isn’t right on, most of the time. Heck, even his hate mail is hilarious.
A classic post that was written back in 2002, titled “I am better than your kids” was the what brought him to my attention. I’ve been a fan ever since.
But it’s a recent post “If these words were people, I would embrace their genocide” that nicely sums up a lot of things about the blogsphere or whatever you’d like to call it. Highlights include;
On blog layouts:
” I didn’t buy a 19″ monitor to have 50% of its screen real-estate pissed away on firing white pixels, you assholes.”
On blogs:
“The word ‘blog’ is literally shorthand for ‘boring:’”
On blogging:
“If minds had anuses, blogging would be what your mind would do when it had to take a dump.”
Priceless.
