Om… Zen… Peace… HOLY SH#T!!!!

One of my pet peeves is web pages which automatically start playing music when you go on them.

Recently Orkut decided to rip off Facebook and allowed gadgets on profiles. One of the gadgets links with iLike and allows you to force anyone who visits your profile to listen to your chosen tracks.

Retards!

If I want background music while surfing the net, I’m perfectly capable of playing Winamp and Firefox at the same time. Then I can listen to the music I LIKE while I SURF the net. I don’t need YOUR CHOICE of music suddenly blasting my ears when I open your page. You may think heavy metal is the best thing that ever happened to the music world. I may think that the world of music begins and ends at Classic Rock. But I won’t thrust my likings on you as long as you don’t thrust yours on me.

Actually, the basic thinking of the average retard who does this sort of crap is probably…

Well, here’s a surprise for you.

This is what the average person thinks when crappy music suddenly blares out of his speakers.

A better system if you want to share music is to give me a choice. Put up your playlists, but don’t let them play automatically. If I want to listen, I’ll click the play button.

A little etiquette on the internet will make it less of a hellhole.
