Technologyyyyy

"If I buy a new laptop, it will be outdated within minutes. If I replace that laptop, then the replacement, too, will be outdated within minutes. The cycle is endless. I'll stick with growing carrots, thanks."

"Your computer is broken? What seems to be the problem? Uh huh... uh huh... can't find the Any key? Okay, sir, here's what you're going to do. First, grab your phone. No, no, the base. The thingy with the buttons. Got it? Good. Now look on it for a button that says 'Off' or a grey switch you can depress or something. Hit that and your problem should be solved."

Gotta feel sad for them there musicians

"We've put countless hours into our work. It's popular, and by god, it's copyrighted. We deserve some money for our efforts. Why would you try and cut us out of the loop? Why can't we get what we deserve? Don't share our music for free online! We will stop you through any means possible! The legal system is on our side, miscreants!"
The music industry

"That's cool and all, but you really can't stop us."
The Internet

"Yeah, we know..."
The music industry

Internetities

"I'm a 180-pound, muscle-bound hunk with blonde hair, blue eyes and a generous package. I also have a black belt in every martial art imaginable, so fighting me is like getting into a brawl with a black hole. Yep, I'm awesome and you suck."
The average Internet user, able to hide behind their own anonymity

"You may or may not have insulted what I like. I will now proceed to destroy every one of your opinions, insult your overall competence and possibly steal your credit card number."
As above, including smug superiority

"lol n00b"
Those Internet users that the older generations will never, ever understand

"The recession's in full swing, vicious fighting is breaking out everywhere and people are dying across the planet, but, hey, here's a video of a puppy trying to climb some stairs. Aww, look, it can't quite make that first step! Adorable."
