Allez-y, graffitez / go and graffiti

La guirlande d'attaques (anti-françaises etc.) dans le post précédant me laissait songeuse ce matin, sur ce qui peut mariner dans la tête de certains cyber-citoyens visiblement bien dérangés quand m'est revenue l'expression du Pixie Frank Black, on ne peut plus juste: "L'internet est comme le plus grand mur dans les plus grandes toilettes publiques et je dois gribouiller un truc dessus comme tout le monde." Puis en recherchant une page Web de Boing Boing, je tombe sur ladite page couverte de graffitis. Puis-je suggérer à ceux qui éprouvent le besoin de vandaliser les sites de passez par "Yeah but is this art?" et se mettre à gribouiller. Ca défoule et cela finit par être moins long que de taper des inanités sur des p'tits blogs!

The seemingly never-ending garland of attacks (anti-French, etc.) in the previous post was making me ponder this morning about what can possibly marinate in the brains of some visibly deranged cybercitizens. Then I recalled The Pixies' frontman Frank Black's very fitting expression: Frank Black: ""The internet is like the hugest wall in the giantest public restroom and I just gotta get in a scribble like everyone else"." Then, looking for a specific page from Boing Boing I come across the said page covered up with graffitis. To those who feel the urge of vandalizing the Net, may I suggest to go to "Yeah but is this art?" and start scribbling. It helps you vent your anger and it ends up being less time-consuming than typing inanities on lil' blogs!

Hi Emmanuelle:

Sorry you've had such a strange week!

It makes me glad I don't have a comments section on my blog or I'd have a bunch of weirdos demanding that I answer for the many alleged defects of the "Swedish soul"...

Cletus: So you're the one who read my Dian Fossey bio. It's available in e-book format, you know, for a mere $4.00. If you download it with Luke Ford's memoir you get a two for one deal.

You should buy it, Cletus. Diane Fossey is becoming very en vouge!

Emmanuelle, what you seem unable to comprehend is that your blog might be considered obscene graffiti by people who find your nationalist ultra-liberal postings to be the neurotic ramblings of a woman in existential flux.
Let's make a deal: you continue posting about your unexamined life, and we will continue to provide dismissive commentary.

Rightsaidfred -- you're rude and you're not wanted here. Go away.

Thanks Philippe, but he's been banned.
