Spacemonkey Perspective: Imus, Blogs, and Losers
Posted by spacemonkey at 04:43 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (13)

So what if Imus says bloggers and those who read blogs are losers. If he did say that, well, he's probably about half right.

My perspective on this is as follows.

I won't argue that bloggers aren't losers. I do own a mirror. And even the cool bloggers are still a bit geeky. I won't name any names.

But blog readers are of a different sort. They don't deserve this 'loser' status. Blog readers have an educational requirement that radio listeners simply don't have. You see, since they are blog readers, by definition, they have to, y'know, know how to read. Radio listeners only need one functioning ear and access to a functioning radio.

To call blog readers losers is, simply put, to do them a grave injustice or more simply put as a radio listener might say, 'mean, bad, me smash'.

So, if a radio listener calls you a loser because Mr. Imus said so, have them read this blog post or if necessary, read it to them.

Oh and sorry, if you read any of the the other posts on that blog, they is liberals.
