Now, THIS is an insult!
I found this comment waiting for approval today:
I linked here from some other good blogs and, viagra buy pharm seriously, what’s your deal? You confuse banality with creativity and your demure Reader’s Digest-esque quips make you sound like a dull-witted hausfrau. Write something interesting or shut this shit off.
I point it out because it is a phenomenal put down: erudite and yet earthy, commanding in its complaining, and sublimely mean-spirited as it berates my meaninglessness.
Very few hecklers can attack with a pop culture reference (“Reader’s Digest-esque”) and the use of a foreign language (hausfrau is Deutsch for housewife) in the very same sentence. Surely, this is a tour-de-force of farcical affront.
I hereby request that the rest of you lazy bums who wish to insult me make at least as much effort as this commenter did.
