The Intelligentsia

Blogging these days have become the new fad. The neo-bloggers have become quite a source of entertainment (at least for me)... It’s their meaningless "meaningful poetry", their pointless "points on philosophy" and their critical assessments of blogs filled with nothing which have made them the modern day bogging hypocrites. It’s not only because they like to string long complex words together but then they go around expressing their 'profound' thoughts with them and finally sensationalizing their blogs. What's even funnier is when inspired bloggers like themselves go about deducing great meaning from their piece of literature and express their thoughts on their piece. Words like "WOOOOOW!" (Which even the neo-bloggers must agree, doesn’t exist in their famed dictionaries) and "AAAAH!" are frequently used to express their amazement at such pieces of "artistic literature"...

Soon enough the inspired bloggers become the induced bloggers producing even more artistic bullshit which more often than not is their sole way of making their so called "intellect" public. The induced bloggers now become the inducing bloggers; advertising their blogs (in other words, themselves) and making the new inspired bloggers stand shocked and in awe. (or as Hitch so rightly said - shockingly awful.) So the new inspired bloggers become the new induced bloggers and subsequently it’s the inducing bloggers who become the neo-bloggers and device new means of showcasing their “intellect”. (Confused much?) A new method of publishing bullshit becomes a competition among Le Idiots. It’s a race to more "blog visits" coupled by “original ideas". In this amazing race, neo-bloggers suffer great amounts of stress (because they feel their great potential has led to even greater expectation) and rack their brains out, cause after all, they have to contribute to society. Finally, when Le Idiots suffer 'writer’s bock' they are forced to cycle through all blogs possible in search of "original" ideas. With their new piece of work a couple of click away, Le Gods begin with a simple ctrl+A, ctrl+C and ctrl+V procedure. With Microsoft Word providing a thesaurus with a single right click, we are reminded of the Friends episode in which Joey writes a parent evaluation of Chandler and Monica. Walla - their work is complete. It’s exactly the "bullshit" they had ordered. All that’s left is to make sure everybody knows about it. Orkut with their multi-scrap option becomes so damn helpful, doesn’t it? Now to just sit back, relax and wait and watch as the world realises that Wordsworth has been reborn.
