The Assholes of the Internet

If there's one prime asshole hangout, it's the internet. Where anonymity is handed out like free Chick-fil-a samples (delicious), being shunned from society is no longer an issue! (Unless, of course, you are the type to engage in online disputes and throw merciless insults to strangers you can't even see, in which case, more power to you.) And then there's these guys- just plain clueless. Yahoo Answers is evidently, for these, a haven:

(real life Yahoo Answers question)
"How would you describe colors to a blind person?"

Just absurd. If you want a legitimate answer, don't go looking for it from the losers of yahoo answers. That was simply dumb on your part. Everyone knows they're only good for knowing links to free online movie sites.

So, here we have an example of the internet douche at work:



Joseph the Second: WONDERFUL Question ! I wouldn't know where to BEGIN to Answer it !!! :)

Look, 'seph. I can call you 'seph, can't I? Or would you prefer to be called JosII. Either way, you suck. I admit, you're sarcasm in this situation is justifiable, as this person (let's call them Joan) obviously has some things to learn about life in general. Number one being that if you ask ridiculous questions on Yahoo Answers you'll just end up with a Joseph the Second- the internet asshole. My question to you, JosII, is why you would take a minute out of your day to taunt an (admittedly ridiculous) stranger. I see you threw in a little smiley face in an attempt to conceal your inner douche. Well that's not gonna make things better, Jos. The damage is done. I'm pretty sure Joan is officially hurt by your response. Poor Joan. She just wanted to know how to describe "red" to Pep Pep who can't exactly see anymore. His memory is shot, and he can't even visualize colors these days. Way to let down Pep Pep, JosII.
