The root of all evil...

So, Comedy Central has this "courtroom" show called "The Root of All Evil" where every Wednesday night two comedians act as attorneys in a trial to debate which of two "evils" is worse, and, therefore, the root of all evil. Some interesting cases in the past argued Paris Hilton versus Dick Cheney and beer versus high school. Tonight's case pitted Ultimate Fighting against Bloggers, and would you believe that despite stellar arguments against fighting and weak arguments against bloggers, the latter were deemed by the judge to be the root of all evil. The nerve! Among other things, Patton Oswald blames blogging for creating a "first draft" society in which complete, well-planned sentences take a backseat to abbreviations and sentence fragments. Um... which blogs has he been reading? All the blogs in my RSS feeds list are informative and thought-provoking and use complete words and sentences that even make use of correct grammar (most of the time). Now, naturally I don't take these things too seriously, but maybe I am too skeptical.... after all, ultimate fighting is "ultimately" going to result in the development of the Mexican nation to the point of the invasion and overthrow of the United States (yeah, there was more to it than that), and blogging will eventually lead to the complete degradation of human communication until we are back to cave paintings. This is serious stuff, people.... my deceptively innocent thought-sharing is slowly chipping away at the integrity of human civilization as I type!
