The inevitable
Jun. 9th, 2007 09:56 amOk, the internet is now macro-rama. There's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
loltheorists, lolgay, loleverything. I can has cheezeburger is funny. I still read it everyday. But the rest? They have a shelf life of about a day.
The worst was loltheorists where someone made a Emma Goldman/Alexander Berkman macro with the caption "Oh hai. We're here to fix ur gubmint" Dude. There is a very small window of funny available in this genre. It really doesn't work if you completely misrepresent the political viewpoint held by the theorist.
But I'm not here to complain about that. I'm here to say this: I haven't seen any yet, but punkmacros will not be funny. Don't even try it. As I explained to the awesome y/a novelist Sara Ryan punks are walking macros. By definition punks are viusally exagerrations of their political philosophy. what are you gonna do? Put Sid up there with "I can has hairoin?" c'mon. OBVIOUS.
Punks and ex-punks reading this. I call on you to stand together like characters in an OPIV song. Do not support the coming punkmacros! We are not goths! Real punks don't need validation from outside sources. Denounce like Tim Yohannon at a music industry showcase concert. If you see a punkmacro on your friendslist, simply respond with NOT FUNNY.
Thank you. Stay punk.
