Techcrunch mind-police rant checking Rockstartup & PayPerPost

Apparently, if venture capital is attained, all activities must be centered around the concept of complete neutrality. The universal declaration of political correctness according to each and every human being, every mammal — every form of inanimate and animate object in the universe, hell the galaxy.

To those offended by RockStartup’s latest episode:

If you are a US citizen, how can you spend so much of your mental space, your free time, your consitutionally guaranteed political voice ranting about which line-item contained the new or used chair expenditure in the office of a startup company? Okay, granted, I’m responding to your response so what does that make me? My responding to your response is because I work for PayPerPost. HUH? you ask? Well, what the hell do you call writing ad copy for the best word-pay around — gazing at the Perseid meteor shower?

Oh, I get it. They painted their faces RED. Well, look a little closer — there’s pirate with a red paint and a stupid fake-o jolly roger on his vest. Offensive? I think John Teach would think so. Blackbeard was no Native American. How about the East Carolina University faculty and students? How about PETEY the PIRATE? And those “indian” head-dresses. Eagles are weeping at the mis-use of their feather-representations.

I keep forgetting to remember… the thought and mind police have to control our Internets and our corporational images. Everyone must be incensed when controversial representations are thrust upon the unsuspecting public. Oh damn… I keep forgetting, I have no more control over my browser than I do my remote control. Just like the American voter, I have to let someone else decide what is best for me. Which advertising company, which affiliate program…

hey — wait a minute — is this knee-jerk reaction a set-up by jealous rivals? An ill-conceived plot to draw advertisers away from PayPerPost? Please tell me it ain’t so. Advertisers! Don’t pay attention to this dribble by the manipulating online predatory competition.

I can’t believe I’ve spent my valuable time responding to your response. But someone’s got to stop this inane disection of an online video.

Please devote some time to global warming rants. Loss of your constitutional rights during the reign of King George rants. Save your righteous indigination for the complete pardon of Scotter Libby and the outing of a CIA agent (which is high treason!). Spend your time making a difference. Not in jealous pursuit of someone who made money on a good idea while you sat on your ass.
