One of my pet peeves is when someone starts a topic with nothing but a link in their opening post. No commentary, no quote from the link of whatever they think is of relevance, just the link. Even worse, there is sometimes just a link to a video.
This suggests either laziness or cowardice, depending on the situation.
Another fact of life we seem to have to accept is that when some issue is hot, hot, hot there will be umpteen topics about it all at the same time.
For instance, Mitt Romney's hidden camera 47% speech. A gazillion topics about it yesterday.
To counter his embarassment over that video, the Romney campaign tried to get everyone to focus on a clip from a speech Obama made in 1998. And it is that clumsy effort which is the subject of this topic.
It is one thing to open a topic and just post a link. It is another thing to open a topic for which there are already several other topics on the same subject.
But for a shitload of people to start a bunch of topics with almost identical titles, right down to the quotation marks...well, that has to earn the 2012 Copy and Paste award for mindless dronesmanship!
Are they all getting the same Romney campaign email? What is going on?
No wonder Obama is winning when his competition has a dearth of originality:
