I'm seriously, very seriously exhausted of seeing 99.999% of posts on facebook by The Guardian, CNN, Al Jaeera, etc, being of some overly biased, completely context dependent, politically correct article about some random writer's personal opinion on some random, supposedly controversial issue he/she thinks should be in such and such way. This article is then headlined on the page as if it was THE new universal law of social behavior.
In truth it's just a result of these news companies' need to fulfill a constant stream of bullshit for people to "like" and "share", and what's better to get people's attention than some cheap polemics?
Write something explosive on race, ethnics, sexual orientation, abortion, religion, or anything else inside this overly-saturated "controversy pie", and followers will fall for it like the perfect trap, it's genius! They'll never notice they're just being fed some poorly elaborated crap, which can barely even be called an article since half of it consists of stuff straight out of social medias.
I remember when I first subscribed to these pages hoping I would be informed about the world but in turn I found out that all people want to know is whatever feeds their own egos, it's not even news, it's just stuff saying "you're right" or "you're wrong".
Well, it's pointless fighting this trend so, you know what? It's about time I started making my own profit out of it, I shall open a page on Facebook completely dedicated to controversy and I already have some good subjects for some really hot articles, here are their headlines:
- WHY ARE THERE MORE WHITE PEOPLE DRIVING SCOOTERS THEN AFRICAN AMERICANS?
- SHOULD MEN BE ALLOWED TO HAVE SEX... AT ALL?
- GIRLS WHO ABORTED KEEP GETTING MAULED BY SEXIST BEARS, THIS HAS TO STOP!
- WHY ARE HOMOPHOBIC CHRISTIAN WAITERS OFFERING HOTTER LATTE TO GAY COSTUMERS?
- "I TORE MY PENIS OFF WHILE MASTURBATING, AM I A TRANSSEXUAL NOW?" MAYBE, HERE ARE 10 REASONS THAT MIGHT MAKE YOU INTO ONE.
- SHOULD CENTRAL AMERICAN CHILDREN BE ALLOWED TO STAY IN AMERICA IF THEY ARE TOO CUTE?
- WHY YOU SHOULDN'T KEEP YOUR KIDS FROM WORSHIPING SATAN.
And the list goes on...
