The PJ's Hard At Work Firing Blanks

Say goodbye to embarrassment (Too late, they've already published this)

Aaron Swartz: The Weblog
I've decided to stop being embarrassed. I'm saying goodbye to the whole thing: that growing suspicion as the moment approaches, that sense of realization when it comes, that rush of blood reddening your cheeks, that brief but powerful desire to jump out of your own skin, and then finally that attempt big fake smile trying to cover it all. Sure, it was fun for a while, but I think it's outlived its usefulness. It's time for embarrassment to go.
Turning off an emotion is always a tough decision. I remember how a couple years ago I decided to say goodbye to anger. Sure, anger has its bright moments -- you haven't really lived until you've known that special joy of hurling a chair across the room -- but it's also quite time-consuming. Every time someone comes up and hits you, you have to run around chasing after them. And once you start getting angry it's hard to stop -- an angry person doesn't really want to calm down, it sort of enjoys being angry. So I finally decided to get rid of the whole thing. And you know what? I haven't regretted the decision one bit.
Regret -- that's another interesting emotion...

The above is, as can readily be identified by the accompanying graphic, a humor piece from the front page of today's Pajama Party. Media. Without this graphic...it reads "Humor" but Booger is afarting and will not allow me to attach pictures so just imagine a small pic of something resembling what Liz Taylor would consider to be a tee-shirt alongside the word humor. I for one would be hard pressed to identify this work as anything resembling an effort of jocular intent, and am glad they have continued captioning such drivel for those of us who feel that referring to something as humorous should mean that it contains something funny. Confusing, otherwise.

Next I imagine we'll see other captioning such as "Serious", and "Melancholy", and "Angry", and if they really want to generate true GRAVITAS they should seriously consider using the words "Bad", and "Crap".
