Boys and Men

Love in the time of wordpress

Entropy may not be the perfect word, but it does come to mind. Just go to any Youtube video and read the comments—the ‘natural corrosion’ from discourse to insult to empty violence. Despite names or aliases, the overall anonymity of the internet enables such proclamations as ‘go fuck your mother’ or ‘n*gger, etc.’ as surely one would remain reticent in person, for fear of a face bashing.

It may have been Mean Week that initiated the male adolescent rhetoric in the comment sections, though I fear I’ve encountered this before. There must be something about being a literary man with a college (or higher) education and a WiFi connection that makes him want to say “go fist-fuck yourself” or “i am kevin sampsell’s penis.” Maybe it’s one too many rejection letters, or a plot arc that simply snapped. As for Kevin Sampsell’s penis, I gather it’s in Garamond 10pt. small caps.

Perhaps it is male bonding, or ironic derision as a form of peer respect, that causes such obsession with: a) penises and/or cocks b) said penises and/or cocks with the same girth as Barry Graham’s head, c) fists as a phallic enterprise, d) the lack of having a penis, e) chopping off heads, f) blood resulting from the chopping off of heads, or penises, or severe fisting, g) bags containing feces, h) the introduction of staples as a means to secure dismembered body parts, and i) ad infin.

Only Gene Morgan, however angry and mean, is able to refrain from such homoerotic inclinations; rather, his mention of blood (“Be sure to bring a towel to sop your blood up off of my front lawn.”) and violence is of a more current-day protestant and territorial nature. He is not interested cock. He just wants to impose severe head trauma on you (outside on his lawn, away from his child).

We can all learn from Gene. In the future, keep your violence inside of your pants.

      i guess privileged college educated cry babies living soft coddled days does not make the necessary ingredients for a ‘meanie’.

      you guys are really lame at this.

      stop holding back. enough of the kabuki dick dance.

      sam was close though. good job sam.

      this is an example of being mean:

      re:jereme dean is a choad

      ryan manning is a worthless attention whore.

      please acknowledge his existence. please respond to his irrelevant tao lin quote comments spammed all throughout blogosphere. please do not get upset when he trolls tao lin’s blog looking for emotionally damaged girls. please pretend not to notice his annoying personality. please link him on your blog.

      please do all of this or ryan manning the worthless attention whore will be sad. he will walk up his basement stairs and weep in his mothers arms while trying not to think ‘i am in my twenties’.

      *hi ryan, you are right. I am a choad*

      thank you very much jimmy for your insight into the male psyche and for being the commentator / regulator / embodiement of sound judgement of comments during mean week. certainly nobody would have gotten through it without this post. my comment about kevin sampsell followed him proclaiming to have cut off my head, otherwise it wouldn’t have been posted.

      i must say i am a little worried about your spending so much time analyzing / thinking about / obsessing over adolescents and the male penis. it cant be healthy.

      no you miss the point. ‘college educated’ is nothing special like you believe it to be. college educated does not mean ‘intelligent’ or ‘wise’.

      i am sorry i forgot one last acceptance guideline for college:

      ivy league requirement:

      who’s your family? oh okay you are accepted. good job!

      according to barry college education is worthless unless it is from an ivy league school. nice elitist thinking.

      Education, on any level, is an incredible privilege and to look down on someone for getting an education is very strange to me. I feel like I’m from a different planet when I hear something like that.

      And since when did wealth have anything to do with not having life experience? There are many kinds of experiences, that rich and poor, have, and they are all worthy, from getting off of herion, to surviving breast cancer, learning to fix a car or travelling the Greek islands on a yacht. I am just dumbfounded sometimes, by what people have to say. All humans struggle, bleed and die. Some do it in nicer environments, but our essential humanness is undeniable.
