Are Blogs Destroying The Fabric of Society?

Recently I spoke with a gentleman who despaired at the ever increasing destruction of society. He pointed the finger squarely at blogs.

“Once upon a time, if you wanted to read a deranged political statement or a tasteless piece of humour, you had to visit the local public toilet” he exclaimed.


“But now everyone man and his dog feels free to write their garbage on a weblog for the whole world to see! What is more, now when I ‘drop the kids off at the pool’ in my local park public toilets there isn’t a crude or inappropriate drawing or witty anecdote or even ‘for a good time call…’ to amuse me! It is a complete disgrace!”
Many years ago I met a man who had been converted to Communism as a way of life during his time at the University of Sydney. Each day when he came to uni he would head straight for the toilet cubical where he knew there would be some thought provoking political toilet statement. This man who was studying a Bachelor of Commerce was so profoundly changed by this mystery communist toilet wall scribbler that he could no longer continue with his western materialistic views. He decided to have a sex change and start a degree in women’s studies.


What do you think? Are blogs to blame for the decrease in intelligent toilet graffiti? Is there such a thing as intelligent toilet graffiti? Have you been challenged about your ideological views by a well crafted toilet wall essay? I look forward to your comments.
