I call it a giant marketing suckhole that lays waste to all reason and reality.
It’s all part of the doubleplusgood newspeak of the new generation.
It’s just another sham, information technology’s version of New Coke.
To all the finger puppets that perseverate this fraud:
I want to wash them all away with AJAX.
I want to round the corners of their hipster hornrims.
It makes me want to bleach the folds of my brain, and I realize…
…finally realize…
…that I am becoming a curmudgeon.
