YouTube is the mother of all inventions that allows lazy teens and bored office workers like myself whittle away the hours of the day laughing at others misfortunes and/or stupidity.
Just search 'man falling down' and you'll find hours of entertainment, or more importantily you'll find hours of free entertainment. YouTube is a canvas for many to post their latest short film or a place for fans to share their videos of a their favourite band playing live.
This video shows how amazing YouTube really is.
Don't judge me. I know you laughed too! OK, so if you have somewhat of a conscience (I said if) how about this? Basically the same video, only you won't get bad karma for laughing at young children crying.
The best thing about YouTube is that you can even do it yourself. So, go get yourself a camera, a young child and scare away.

STFU 4REALZ.
OMG R U SRSLY 4 REALZ??? LOL U RULZZZZZZZ!!!!!
Yes, that feeling of an explosion inside your head is your brain breaking from the invading stupidity of text talk.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm prone to the use of text shorthand, but firstly it's difficult when you only have 12 small keys and 26 different letters and secondly I'm a skint student. Text messages cost money, I consider it a talent to be able to fit 50 different pieces of information into to one text. However, what bothers me is when people use text talk on online forums and even in emails.
If you have a full qwerty keyboard in front of you and you're not being charged by the word then why feel the need to use cryptic code?
The most common online slang is 'LOL'. I of course knew that it was used when something was funny, I didn't however know that it meant 'laughing out loud'. Which is just plain stupid anyway. I don't once remember having a funny conversation with a friend then stopping to say 'I'm laughing out loud...you're funny'. Why not just use 'ha-ha'?
People must know that it's difficult to read capital letters on a screen. So why comprise a whole conversation with 'OMG, AWGTHTGTTA? LOL JK IMHO TINAR TTYL'? Apparently for some, it's just easier to write using text talk.
You may be thinking 'it's fine, it's just these crazy kids..they'll grow out of it' but unfortunately, and rather alarmingly it's not just 'crazy kids' even fully grown adults use this talk. When will the madness end, I ask you? Or am I just prematurely ageing?

Go Fug Yourself
Go fug yourself
If it isn't already glaring obvious from the name of this blog what the tone is, then I'll spell it out for you: Bitch, bitch, bitch, fashion, bitch.
Go fug yourself is a fashion site dedicated to pointing out the fashion faux paux of the famous, and is also a daily source for fashion news.
The style of the blog is very humourous, often using celebrities lack of style for the focus of this humour, however it's not meant in a maclious way. It feels almost like a 'feel good' blog for those of us not fortunate enough to afford designer clothes and stylists.
Like most blogs, it's opinion based, however it has gained some weight in the fashion world. Not only is it sponsored by many designers but also applauded by other on-line publications.
Personally, I like the writing style of the blog. It's very funny, but also informative to those who have an interest in fashion. The tone isn't suitable for a print publication but for it works perfectly for on-line. It allows people to express themselves in viciously honest way.
