Is there a blog you hate so much you’d like to nuke it from orbit or have a cow shit all over it? Then you’re in luck.
Every couple of months, when I’ve had my fill of pissing cats, noisy neighbours and depressing Dutch grocery stores, and the urge for a a little injection of cultcha is pressing, I head to Crooked Timber. This occasional visit is just enough to feed my neurotic craving to feel I’m in with the big and clever bloggers just because I actually get the occasional academic in-joke and having done that, I then don’t feel the need to go there for months, having fully assuaged my need to feel self-congratulatorily and smugly intellectual for a while.
But today instead of propping up my intellectual vanity, CT (see how hip I am?) is encouraging my childish desire to throw mud at other bloggers, with this very nifty online toy:
Net Disaster allows you to indulge your worst fantasies of blog conflagration, to dispense vomit from a great height on a website you hate – or more simply, to annihilate with the Hand of God, an appropriate fate for most online fundiewindbaggery.
Simply enter your URL of choice, pick your method of disposal, point, click and KERSPLAT! Or KAPOW!, depending on the mode of destruction chosen. No-one gets hurt, except on your screen and in your head, and best of all no damage is caused and no one can sue (though I wouldn’t put it past certain wingnuts to ponder lawsuits for intentional distress and emotional suffering).
Next time you feel the need to piss on Powerline, flood Fox News or set wasps on the WaPo and the White House feel free – but don’t be surprised if you if you get caught in return fire or even a friendly fire incident.
Oops! FDL got acid-peed on. How very clumsy of me. Hmm, who’s next, I wonder…
