The worst thing about the Internet is the fact that it's given idiots, jerks, and boors an opportunity to operate and thrive under the guise of anonymity.

Demi's making me hate Nick Frost and I love Nick Frost. It's getting to the point where I can't even look at him anymore.

Spam comes into it, but it's advertising in general; it's just completely pathetic. I'm no expert, but surely the internet could work if the advertisers had half a brain (between them)? Every single fucking ad is some trick that gets you banana dollars, or some picture that looks like a menu but actually opens a pop-up, or something saying you're a winner when you're not. It might fool the odd internet newbie, but for anyone that's used it for a while it gets to the point where you just completely ignore ads because you know they're bullshit. Now all types of free services that get money from advertising are getting rarer and rare and the internet is just going further downhill.

We had a voice long before the Internet.

EDIT: I was just about to buy one of your shirts, then I learned that you hated the English language.

The Internet's just fine. It's the morons that use it that sicken me. Well, that and reactions to E3.

Stupid information overload; what you want can be found but you need to sift through so much useless shit to get to it.

Do you own a local adult store?

I really think this discussion begins and ends with spammers. I hate advertising in general but at least it's somewhat easy to avoid in other forms of media. The level of it on the internet is just stupifying. What really gets me about it is that some of the spammers actually think they're appreciated. Really, they think they're doing us favors by sending a barrage of emails insulting the size and/or hardness of our penises.
