America Drinks and Goes Home Vol. II

"MySpace.com is so 5 minutes ago!" This is according to the hipsters taking my freshman composition class this summer who hang around Hot Topic at the mall, drink endless cappacinos, and discuss the relative merits of Good Charlotte vs. The Clash (by the way, these two bands should never be mentioned in the same sentence ever again!).
The New Big Deal is apparently Catch 27. While similar to MySpace.com, Catch 27 has the distinction of being entirely more narcissistic, egotistical, temporary, and greedy. If you happen to look like Christopher Robin (you can't make up shit this goofy)Image Hosted by ImageShack.usjust invert all of my assessments. Or, straight from the whore's (horse's?) mouth: "Catch27 is more or less kind of like MySpace, except it's a network of hot/interesting/original/intelligent/creative people. Instead of pissing away your time adding morons, hair bands, and dipshits.. you could be..." adding a whole bunch of other morons, hair bands, and dipshits to your list of faux friends.
Okay, so I have to admit, I have a MySpace account also, but it's just for my band to post MP3s. All of our "friends" are other bands for the most part, and we only have 50 or so, not some ridiculous bullshit like Christopher Robin's (Jeez, this guy is a FAG!!) 90,000.
It looks like the average age of these Catch27ers is about 16, yet you'll see so many photos of juvenile asses and tits on the damn site you might worry the FCC will raid your PC for child pornography.
But back to C.R. for a moment. Check out the TeddyBear in the background...get it? Winnie the Pooh? Christopher Robin? Good God these emo guys are a bunch of pussies!
Anyway, I'm an old fart I guess, but, in the words of Groucho Marx, "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."
P.S. Why 27? I'll give you one guess.
