Scum Of The Earth


What can be more annoying than four days of live coverage of the Mumbai blasts? You guessed it right, the guys in Orkut.

Social networking sucks. It used to suck, but now its got this whole new level of sucking that makes it kinda really unbearable. For the four months that followed my Class 12, I was an Orkut regular, having just signed in with my pals and we used to rate each other, become fans, write testimonials just for the heck of it and kalaaichify Anish's virtual avatar. And then the gaerls entered Orkut, followed by this legion of nerd fellows looking for a lay. Then the process of deterioration started, starting with the big time flirting thing.

Orkut became this haven for all the geeks who would never in their right minds ask a girl out in the real world, and the nerd girls who enjoyed flirting with these guys while maintaining their 'homely' exterior. Orkut also provided a virtual identity, and hiding behind the movie star-display picture, these nerd boys turned into greek gods with the click of a mouse. The 'Testimonials' fiasco followed, and what churned out was unimaginable. In a bid to jollu-vittufy at the girls cleverly in a diplomatic fashion, guys wrote up these mushy testimonials hailing the girls, where layers and layers of flirting were buried under 'she-is-my-best-friend' crap. Add some smileys for perfection, some 'sis' 'bro' lines, a whole lotta adjectives(nice,smart,handsome,beautiful,funny,sweet,cute,naughty,hot,cool etc),some recommendations('she's the best friend one can ever get, ur missing out on a lot if u don't add her!') and you have a potential recipe for a disaster.

But that was not it. The next generation took Testimonials to a whole new level, they wrote small crappy one liners that made no sense even to the recipient, let alone the voyeur. And the much more recent photo-comments, with the fellows scrambling to comment on a photo the girl recently uploaded. Its almost like they wait with bated breath 24*7, fingers oiled and held ready near the keyboard so that as soon as Orkut alerts them of a recent upload they fire on all cylinders, tearing their keyboard apart, typing stuff like 'Aww... cho chweeet..!' 'You look really cute, duh!', and other crap. Girls predominantly make it a habit to load their albums with pictures of so-called-cute sleeping babies and puppies, rather than their own photos. But being the matter-starved species that guys are, they comment on these crap pictures too. Its like nobody has the guts to go to a girl's photo and say 'Ye chi photo nalla illa'. I tried it once and got my ass shot to timbuktu.

Facebook is no different. I always end up checking my Wall really(read:really)late, so late that I end up replying "Exam? What exam? Its not until tomorrow!" for a question some guy posted six months back during the end of my previous semester('Macha how did exams go??'). The applications entertain for a while, but then it gets boring. Personal note... Orkut applications suck.

But still, there are buggers like Anees who swear by Orkut even if there are a million other sites, boasting about having reached 20,000 scraps, hitting on girls he once knew way back in Mysore when they were both kids wearing diapers, doing ultimate vetti things like commenting on Harry Potter forums and uploading Daniel Radcliffe photos and photos of their so-called Workstations(ancient PC's running on Pentium Celeron), and later terming it all as 'Machan, gethu da'.

Scum of the Earth, man.

Even I'm no different, and so are the rest of you buggers with an Orkut ID. :p

Ezzhh... Warsst... Free..

I love the way those cheapo guys n worshtu girls get together in orkut.

Guy, hi be would u be my frand.

Attu piece posing as hot chick hiding behind an Angelina Jolie pic: Guys who don't know me please dont scrap me.

Worshtu.

And orkut by the way is still in its BETA stage, which means they will keep improving it. And orkuts popular only in places like india n brazil. However Brazilian women do not lock their photo albums

My personal case against bloody orkut is that they have TRIED real hard to improve privacy of the hot chicks leavin us despo guys lonely n stranded

Cannot help but laud the guys who creat amazingly humorous communities like Madras Aunties and Mallu mami sex, which anish frequents quite often from his ever crashin firefox on his gethu system..er..workstation

Ad guys like anish have another reason to never leave home when they can stay connected to everyone from lkg diaper babes n watch hot-frandly-girls upload pictures n comment n brood over what someother guy wrote on the testimony..yeah orkut is one major waste of space

n yet buggers like us still waste all our living hours on orkut cuz it is uber cool..

lets not get into discussion bout aarkut romances and dead communities that simply exist.

Rule: if a guy/girl has a 5 digit number of scraps, suffice it to say he/she/it is a jobless schmuck.

Looks like I overdid the swearing in ur swearing spot..free

m off for a while so guess this should prevent u from missing me ;)

er looks like a li'l bit of anish influence there

CkisgoD said... @ December 2, 2008 at 9:21 AM

yeah, dude... i hav a five digit scrap count myself and i am a jobless schmuck but i swear half of them are from Anees who makes it a point to send me 10 scraps everyday even if m offline or stranded in Africa...!

yup.. girls get to lock their albums, scrapbooks and evey other damn thing which leaves the guy no other option other than to add her as a pal for 'fraanship' then gain access to her album only to find countless sleeping-babies and smiling-babies and flowery-babies and Hannah Montana photos grinning at him. All that effort, and nothing.
