The Internet Should Erase Ultimate Losers
The power of the Internet will amaze me until the day I die. It can make nobodies somebodies and turn winners into losers overnight. If Andy Warhol knew that there would be a World Wide Web he probably would’ve guaranteed everyone 30 minutes of fame.
Sadly, the power to become “famous on the net” moves past videos involving two girls and one cup or hurdling cubicle walls. Last week in Nebraska here in America there was a tragic mall massacre that left nine people dead and several others badly injured. The gunman, whose name we won’t even mention, premeditated the crime – knowing that the demonic action would plant his name and image around the world.
Unfortunately, he was right.
This poor excuse of a human being was the ultimate loser. An angry coward. Rather then spend another second evoking his highly-forgettable name, let’s talk about the greater problem.
As wide-spread use of the Internet continues to grow, and more and more people recognize its power to spread their gospel, the danger increases for average citizens like you and me. Like the people working and shopping in that Omaha mall.
Here’s what I propose. And this applies for all that plan and execute a crime with the intention and hope of using the Internet as a suicide note.
You get erased. Permanently. Forever.
The sicko will have their name and image removed from the Internet. Anything they’ve ever posted, written or drew. GONE.
I know it’s wishful thinking. But think about it: What do we gain as a society from the so-called ‘insight.’ There are no clues and there’s no way to stop the madness. In their sick and twisted minds these criminals become notorious. Famous. And they have us to thank for the fame.
Some of you are probably crying, “How dare you, Andrew! The Internet is meant to be free and unregulated.”
Go explain that to the families of the victims.
Who’s with me?
