Everyday
I like to log onto my internet and just mess around for
a little while, visit websites I've never heard of etc.
It's a boring and often tedious activity, but upon reflection
it's clear that my life follows a similar pattern. So, after
a few minutes of wandering I stumbled upon a delightful
proposition:
Always
being up to a good monkey catching challenge I accepted.
Several hours of planning passed and at last I came up with
a suitable plan of action to catch that darn monkey. Brushing
aside my many cans of Mountain Dew I sprang into action
as best anyone in a comfortable chair can. Soon after many
meticulous hours I was prepared to do battle with my arch-nemesis
monkey.
It
took mere seconds to hover over the monkey and click it.
I was successful and I was soon whisked away to a meaningless
website that demanded my home address repeatedly. Instead,
with a curious nature I returned to the site and just randomly
clicked the banner again, this time nowhere near the monkey,
and imagine my surprise when I was taken to the same page
declaring me the winner.
And
this sickening story of falsehood, it what brings me to
the point of this article. What the hell happened to sportsmanship?
What separates me from a six year old on the street? I'd
like to think that we're separated by my superior intellect,
motor skills, and ability to not be abducted by strangers.
Yet we can both easily win 20 bucks. How is this fair?
Frankly,
I can remember an age where there was such a thing as sportsmanship,
 nowadays
every athlete is pumped full of steroids and hunters are
developing high tech lasers to shoot their prey for them.
Everyone is becoming lazy and would rather have lasers and
drugs do work for them.
And
frankly, that doesn't work. Lasers and drugs are great by
themselves, but when you start relying on such things to
do your job for you, then perhaps technology has come too
far. The world needs to move backwards and get rid of robotic
assembly lines and deer-shooting lasers.
Most
of you are probably reeling with mocking laughter right
now, but before you fly off the hook just remember that
you are wrong and I am incredibly awesome. No further argument
is needed.
