A Death in Cyperspace?
Posted by questionmarkinc on July 9, 2009
When New in News first hit cyberspace, it took off at a healthy pace. Our hits began to rise steadily, and we reached the coveted million mark several weeks ago. However, after we posted our video tribute to Michael Jackson, suddenly and mysteriously the number of hits plummeted from thousands of hits per day to merely several per day. You know and we know this is statistically impossible. Indeed, there seems to be something rotten in the state of Denmark. It would certainly seem that our beloved little blog has been sabotaged. We have done everything possible to get to the bottom of this debacle, but to no avail. We even informed the Federal Communications Commission, but all they said is that they may look into it.
To say we started this blog with purely altruistic intentions would be a lie. Indeed, we did hope to make some money through advertising. However, we also hoped that perhaps we could make at least a small difference toward the positive in this sick, tortured world of ours. We pointed out many injustices that exist in our society. We attempted to move people toward a higher state of awareness. We gave people a heads-up on the evils that surround them, and we offered you food for thought. We also gave you bubble gum news. I’m afraid it now appears we are going down in flames.
The saddest thing is that New in News’s short life will probably not be remembered. After all, how long is anything remembered in this ADD-riddled society. A new blog will no doubt take its place in cyberspace, its only aim being to hawk some inane shit, not unlike monkeys flinging fecal matter. To give future bloggers the benefit of the doubt, however, perhaps someone will come along who will likewise seek to enlighten and inform. More than likely though, you can bet your ass that whomever takes our place in cyberspace willl have but one god, and that god is the almighty dollar. These are the people who are part of the problem, not the solution.
So to you, the public, this contributor bids you farewell with a very heavy heart. I refuse to play this game any longer. If the problem with this blog is an unfortunate glitch or a technical hiccup, so be it. There’s not much to be done about that. However, to the person or persons who may have sabotaged this blog, I will meet you in hell motherfucker! That’s a promise.
