Damage ContrLOLz

I would like to write a grad school thesis that decontextualization is the dominant mode of interpretation in how people view the internet

Kimberlee, Reincarnated

I just laughed so hard I'm pretty sure my neighbors must have heard. It was sort of a cackle/belly laugh/guffaw/something I'm not sure has been classified yet.

dude's kind of mean

it's kind of like, what if current facebook friends status updates were a tumblr and not on 77

Some of it is downright cruel and part of me feels bad about finding some of this so funny BUT I feel like he's commenting on social media more than the individual people? Maybe I'm just thinking that in order to make myself feel better about finding it all so amusing.

that's curt

i don't think he's being mean at all! He's curating and interacting!

If you put it up on the internet, do not be surprised when it is discovered. Embrace the future

if anything, ppl are being cruel to him:

I def think the borat shit he does is hilarious its just when his tubmlr posts are albums of ugly people or fat people or olds or foreigners or whatever then its kinda sad. And I guess when I say this I mean sad that he's using his powers for that. I could care less about the people.

Dyyyyying at Danny mangling namaste on FB, I want to "like" it all but worried he might get that we're all in on his shtick.

just. wow.

also hilarious. although that one is quite out-of-character mean imo.

Fantasy OTM - it's mostly the gallery stuff that seems the most mean-spirited imo.

okay, that one was mean.

though the message that it is insane that SOCIAL MEDIA allows you to scream "My grandma is dead!!" out your window to strangers and not expect them to scream back is loud and clear

yeah, def, this

thanks! but I think plenty of people are in on his shtick and he knows it too, but he's maintaining character

and c'mon forks, it's not like every facebook user has an advanced understanding of facebook's privacy settings or what gets shared to your 'friends' and what doesn't

i don't!

i just generally assume that anything i put on the internet is being read by people who would love to destroy me and that's been a) accurate b) a good rule of thumb

I'm glad everybody shares that point of view

idk I felt pretty uncomfortable w/ these posts

his use of 'lmbo' def tips him off as savvy internet bro (in character)

Dayo those were among the ones that I felt the weirdest about. The lady - well, I'm not to sure about that one but I felt really bad for that man. :(

i loved the billy snakehawk johnson one! I am reserving hope that these are more humanistic than mocking or hateful. i may be being naive here, but disingenuously so.
i really love these photo strips, they feel like unique art

but NOT disingenuously so.

that lady was pretty excited to dress up for safety week xposts

idk forks, what's the point of this one?

portrait of a life.

it's scary to be reminded that we can all be boiled down to surface snapshots but oddly profound to view
i just don't see mean there. it's a porthole into a life that i'll never know and that's kinda wowing me.
sure a lot of these are absurd but the lack of commentary saves them from being craven
tomorrow i may be in a worse mood and disinherit this line of thinking of course

forks gets it

this man is an artist.

at his best yeah definitely

I agree but I still think he's walking that very fine line between focusing in on certain segment of society and exploiting them. The people he's choosing to spotlight definitely don't seem very internet savvy or "in on it". I mean, I spent a couple hours looking at his Tumblr between this afternoon and tonight so I can't say I don't find it interesting it's just that some of it definitely makes me uneasy.

to be fair, the segment he is focusing on is people who blindly add anyone who sends them a facebook friend request

No, mean is the guy who does Don't Even Reply.com

forks i am v mad about your post on bills facebook

i wanted to know what his opinion was!
