The Internet is an amazing thing. Information from around the world at the touch of a fingertip. The Internet probably changed the world more than any invention, or at least it would be in the top ten list. I can go on and on about the benefits of the Internet, however that is not what I will be blogging about today. Today I will be blogging about certain things I have found on the Internet that I absolutely love. Not everything on the Internet is a true benefit to the world, but that doesn't mean they aren't just as awesome and that is what I will be sharing today.YouTube is an amazing website. I have already used it to share some amazing television commercials on an earlier blog. I could spend hours just clicking videos on YouTube and watching more and more of them. There is a huge array of videos, many are posted just for a few friends to see, but then there's other people who post to try and be noticed. So many videos show a person, with their messy bedroom behind them, singing a "Popular" song hoping somebody will notice them and they will get their big break.
Another fantastic type of video is spoofing something that is already famous. Whether you are making fun of somebody else you already made it big on the Internet, or taking a famous cartoon from the 1980's and dubbing new audio over it to turn it into something completely different than it already was.
I also love internet pictures. I have used plenty of pictures in my blog already and I love just Googling terms and seeing all the ridiculous pictures that come up. Every now and then a trend hits the internet and people create a series of pictures to fit that trend. They can be spoofing a popular image, transposing a funny face onto a picture where it doesn't belong, or adding comedic captions to a picture. One of the biggest picture trends to hit the internet is LOLcats (pictured left). These are pictures of cats with captions written in internet shorthand and poor grammar (because cats aren't well educated). Sometimes 1 picture can be a trend all in its own and show up all over the place. That 1 picture is funny as a stand alone and when seen it will always make people laugh. I immediately thought of one picture when I started writing this article it makes me laugh every time I see it and just can picture it hanging up on the inside of a bathroom stall door (pictured right).
The internet is full of websites that collect wonderful gems like the few I've shared here. That is why The Backstreet Boys and I (pictured above) love the internet. You can find almost anything you want. No matter what your taste, there is probably a website out there for you. I shouldn't write an article about loving the internet without mentioning that it is also how I can write such a wonderful blog for my loyal reader(s) to enjoy. I really enjoy the fact that I can write about the crazy things that come to my head and that people seem to enjoy reading them. The internet is such a fantastic thing and I'm so glad that I can enjoy the awesomeness and share it with you!
But how could you forget the main purpose of the internet (sorry I can't imbed youtube videos in the comments): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-TA57L0kuc&feature=related
