if facebook has taught me anything recently i mean since yesterday, which mean a lot in these mediums, it's this:
there is an online community out there.
there is a community and they are invested in controlling language. it is not the burmese government. it is the ladies and gentlemen that contribute, counteract, elaborate, and out-participant one another daily on "urban dictionary". it's a game of control, and anyone with an AC adaptor can participate.
also while i was searching for more information i found this cultural artifact, which is literally fascinating for a ton of reasons:
but what i am most intrigued by is the bottom left corner, which mentions World War II as a turning point, after which maybe the creator of this cultural artifact feels like the chasm between liberal and conservative grew to large to bridge. was this person alive then? did a 70 year old create this jpg? i don't identify as either liberal or conservative - either way it is branding. i did receive a degree in english literature which no self-respecting conservative would do, however i also like oral sex a great deal and perhaps that leans me back towards the right. i smoke and don't wear underwear in the spring but occasionally i enjoy a coca-cola classic. once i worked for a man name francis. do you see what i mean? it's impossible to adhere to one political ideology anymore
