Pop-up Sads

I don't really know how, in 2010, pop-up ads are still something we - as an evolved human race that can take, e-mail and then tweet photos with our phones - have to deal with. Alas, such is life, and recently I discovered this gem hiding underneath my browser window, which was filled with tabs researching mandrake roots, Nelly and probably hipsters.



Now, why would I want to do crazy things like "click here" and "find out what my credit score is" if you're telling me ahead of time that it's going to suck? If you're already frowning about my unknown credit score, mysterious Internet digitized creatures, then how do you think it's going to make me feel?

The most ironic thing is that I don't even know if I have a credit score or not, because I've never actually owned a credit card. One time I applied for one through my bank and got a big fat rejection letter in the mail, which caused a real life (RL) frowny face, not unlike this.



Now I ask you, dear readers: how could anyone deny that face a credit card, or really anything else? I mean honestly. Look at that punum. No, you know what? No. No. Talking about this just makes me very angry.



I would be so fucking good at using a credit card.  The bank people don't even know how good I would be. Mostly because even I don't know how good I would be. My credit score would probably be "awesome." No numbers needed. It would just say "awesome."

Yeah, fuck that bank. And even more broadly, fuck being an adult, which is a state of existence requiring that I acquire a credit card, and makes me feel begrudgingly incompetent for not having one.

Something is, technically, wrong

Stop being a smartass Twitter. You and your invisible commas.












Oh, don't try to make it better with a friendly robot whose hand fell off who I am therefore supposed to feel empathy for. Well, guess what Twitter. I feel no empathy at all for things that are not humans. I fucking laughed* the first time I saw Old Yeller, and I never, ever cry at movies that depict robots or other monsters as people-like things with feelings**.
