Should you quit smoking today? It’s raining, better wait. Should you go on Atkins? Can you really eat nothing but bacon and still fit into a size 8? This guy does.
Or doesn’t — depending on whether its really him, or his cyber-jacked identity raped shell of an internet self.

What the hell is this post supposed to be about?
Just scan the fucking article! It is hilarious. And there are little gold nuggets strewn about the author’s vague self-absorbed bitch-fest, like Cyjackers. I think those who read and consider critically will find that there are issues at hand which dovetail on those Alone frequently posts about: media manipulation, identity problems, denial (?). I’m not trying to troll! Forgive a little bit of subtlety, maybe I should turn to the rum and give it to y’all straight next time.
Long live Marx.
So your thesis is: on the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog, and nobody knows if you really do have a brutal nicotine/drinking habit?
To which I say: even if he is lying/conflating aspects of his identity (a process made easy by the internet) it’s still a mildly amusing rant/piece of first-person narrative. But I agree wholeheartedly that the author is pretty selfabsorbed. He wants to make sure we know he’s the kind of person who isn’t taken in by news media scare-stories; that he is the kind of person who’s driven into a rage by some shitty network’s shitty attempts to sell a few extra adverts. But here I am, building up my own internet persona by shitting on his. By the way, I’m drunk. Or am I? I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.
Geez, it’s pretty clear what noob is saying. If you don’t understand, you’re part of the problem.
I’ll give you a hint: Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Devastated!
Yeah, you’re right, I’m a part of the problem for posting an (admittedly substandard & rushed) response to what I perceive noob to be saying.
But please, by all means, quote some more two-year-old memes at me, to help me understand.
Oh hey, sorry! I was actually trying to reply to nohope’s first comment above. And I was trying to be funny — like nohope, I have no idea what the original post was trying to say. What do you think?
Ahh… my fault. It’s hard to tell who’s replying to who in here sometimes.
also TLP rules and I really hope this website grows. i’ve only posted a few times but I have read the majority of Alone’s articles. One of the reasons why I like reading is that most of his (or her) pieces convey well-formed arguments, as well as elements of ambiguity and parody. Don’t take it so seriously — we’re all obsessed with identity in the same ways. I’m just as big of a deluded oaf as the author of the Cracked! article. (and come on, it’s from Cracked!)
