I'm not really sure if this is the right forum for a question like this, but does anybody else here hate incoherency in internet humor? To me, the worst kind is a site where the only humor in it is that (almost) everything in the universe sucks. I'm talking about stuff like Encyclopedia Dramatica and The Best Page in the Universe. I don't know why there should be things like that, but there are, and I am depressed.

i tend to ignore those websites whenever possible because they do make me depressed. just remember that it's in good fun and they typically have no clue what they're talking about. if they do seem intelligent and know what they're talking about then they were probably just bored.

Encyclopedia Dramatica sucks and is run by an idiot.

That kind of humor is for sheltered teenagers who feign cynicism and world-weariness to mask the fact that they have no real experience of life or suffering.
