I'm astounded by the stupid and the bitter and the toxic in the responses to that article. People really have nothing to do anymore but sit around and shit on other people's parades, do they?

No, they don't. This is why I don't have comments turned on over at the GCS site, why I have anonymous comments disabled on Tumblr, and why I tell people in general that there is NOTHING worth having anonymous commenting enabled anywhere.

People are sad. It's also amazing to read those responses without thinking, all this grow up and dress right stuff? Who gives a shit? Life is short, you have to enjoy it while you're living it.

Heh, Amy; I did the same.

I did kind of perversely like the one that called Jilli's wardrobe the kind of completely generic stuff anyone can pick up at Hot Topic. And it's completely boggling how many people are saying about both her and Mohawk Guy, "Fine, dress that way, but don't blame anyone else for blowing the job interview and being unemployed!" when the whole point of the article is that they are employed and their employers are perfectly content with them.

Who is responsible for the chimp feeding the baby tiger on Good Things?

Oh, that was me. There's also video! [link]

That's the part that REALLY amuses me. Reading comprehension, anonymous internet peoples! You can maybe haz, if you try rilly rilly hard!

Oh god, this online training module is going to be awesome. I can tell because the avatar just said I would learn to "maximize my zones of excellence."

Oooh, I missed that one! If that were the case, a lot of my babygoths would be happy. Also, that poster has obviously not been in a HT for ages, because they don't really have goth stuff anymore.

Isn't it mostly "Team Edward" and Invader Zim t-shirts?

(Proving that I, too, haven't been NEAR a Hot Topic in years.)

Neon. The last time I was in one (looking for tights), it was a lot of neon. Nary a skull-decorated goody to be seen.

I'm not even sure I have zones of excellence to maximize.

Oh, that was me. There's also video!

Oh my good god. It's too much!
