Wait, wouldn't that be quarter of the way through the video after the video after this one ... Oh, ISWYDT. posted by alby at 11:53 AM on October 18, 2011
I'm confused. posted by infini at 12:06 PM on October 18, 2011
The level of bombastic satire in this, coupled with its incredible in-your-face quality, coupled with how disturbing it is, is actually appropriate to how annoying those "like me status if" things are on Facebook.
If everything annoying in life were met with this sort of bunker-buster response, we'd be in a less annoying world. Unless you find this sort of video annoying, which might be a problem for you, because there would be A LOT OF THEM. posted by Bunny Ultramod at 12:10 PM on October 18, 2011 [3 favorites]

Brilliantly edited! I am not on Facebook enough to be annoyed with the general silliness and daily irritations. Which is how I deal with it. posted by Xoebe at 12:25 PM on October 18, 2011

I shut down my facebook account six months ago and I don't think I'd ever liked anyone's anything anyways but I've now watched this three times. Guy's a charmer. posted by villanelles at dawn at 5:38 PM on October 18, 2011 [1 favorite]
This is awesome. Awesome. It's like the Ill Doctrine with ADHD. posted by Decimask at 8:07 PM on October 18, 2011
that sounds a lot like static typing. I'm suddenly horrified of Haskell
You should be horrified of Ada or Java or something. Haskell's strong-typing-plus-type-inference is way less confining than traditional bondage-and-discipline languages. posted by hattifattener at 11:11 PM on October 18, 2011

Me too, but I also recognize that little things I hate can be symptomatic of bigger problems. posted by mhoye at 6:00 AM on October 19, 2011
hattifattener- I was thinking quite specifically of Haskell when I wrote my comment. I recognize that many people confuse static typing with explicit typing/RSI syndrome but that was not what was going on in my comment. The Orwell quote my comment referred to doesn't mention anything about or analogous to explicit type signatures, or droning on and on about self-justification. Instead, it mentions precluding certain thoughts by making them impossible to express. That's what type systems are for. There are certain things that are impossible to express in Haskell- it just so happens that those things are almost always semantic errors.
Part of the joke is that it's a little silly to be horrified that Haskell makes it impossible e.g. to generate a null pointer exception.
