#firstworldproblems

I just got a job at a place where everybody uses Twitter. The first day of work, everyone emailed their Twitter to everyone else and then tweeted about their email and then emailed to acknowledge their tweet. It was like being sucked into the slow and sickening churn of the world's largest intellectual toilet, lined with a stale ring of human waste in the form of 140 character dispatches from the world's most chronically premature circlejerk.

Twitter is one of the worst things the Internet has going for it right now. Another is fmylife.com (the kids call it "FML" I'm told) where people post short Twitter style updates about, and I quote, "moments of fail" from everday life. FML combines all the fresh and witty humor of 4chan catchphrases with the gripping narrative of a sixteen year old who is upset they have to drive Mom's minivan to high school and thus lose their suburban cred.

Today, the forum goon explore what Twitter might be like if it dispensed with all pretenses and embraced its true identity as yet another venue for discomfited white people to express their tepid and unremarkable concerns. If you for some reason missed life in a suburban high school, here's your chance to relive it!
