If you have been around the internet for at least 10 seconds, you will have heard of Live Journal, if you haven’t, allow me to enlighten you about this little “gem” of a system.  Live Journal, in essence is a way for people with far too much time on their hands to bitch and whine about their pathetic little lives in a medium where everyone acts like they give a half of a rats ass for the purpose of getting someone else to read THEIR useless diatribe about their pathetic lives.  Basically, it’s the largest system of sycophantic fair-weather friends on the planet…  next to MySpace… of course. 

Though it has its purposes, within the walls of this great hall of mediocrity and dysfunctional authors of self serving idiocy, you once in a blue moon find something, or someone, or both in this case that is so absolutely deluded that they think they have the power to change the world for no other purpose than to “be heard”.  In other words… the bitch wants attention.

APPARENTLY, and I say apparently because I really don’t care to read the news and updates about live journal on a daily basis ( read: ever ),  live journal will not be allowing anyone to create basic accounts anymore…  To give you some insight, there are paid accounts and free accounts.   Two types of free accounts, basic, with no banners, and plus, with banners.

Now as most of us intelligent people know, banners on websites generate an influx of varying amounts of cash.  Servers that host websites require cash to maintain and keep online.  When you have a couple million emo rejects using your service non-stop… you require a lot of said cash to keep said servers online.

Pretty simple system huh? 

So, to counter-act the cost of free-loading dipshits on that use the basic accounts on Live Journal,  they have decided to axe the creation of any more.  Now, they are not removing any previous accounts made, which I found to be rather kind of them.  Well this just isn’t acceptable to Becky ( Who from further on shall be referred to as “The Jew” )…( Sometimes I love just being outwardly racist, don’t you? )

The Jew has taken it upon herself to organize a content strike!  Because… you know… that’ll show ‘em.  Her basic premise of this plan is that for one day ( March 21^st ),  no-one should post ANYTHING on live journal as it will show the owners that the users posting content are what keep them in business… which… I think just made me a little dumber by writing.

Lets me lay this out for you, users posting on a site, does NOT keep the website up.  Users posting on a website utilize the servers bandwidth and processing cycles.  A couple million of said users… use a lot of fucking bandwidth quick.  Bandwidth, isn’t cheap let me tell you.

No Jew, your useless posting about your meaningless life do not keep the servers online, your money, and the money from the ads do.  The only thing this is going to accomplish is giving the server a nice 24 hour break of constant text crunching, and your friends list a break from your mediocrity.

But this entire situation is not without humor… hell with me nothing is EVER without humor.   I propose a new idea!  Instead of a content strike, I propose a Counter Strike!  When the clock strikes 12:00AM ( In your time zone ), I propose for the following 24 hour time span, not only do you post… but post every 10 minutes on the dot.  Hell, it doesn’t even matter what you post about.  Tell a story about your toe-nail fungus… or write a nice long article about how most of the users of live journal are complete tools.  Doesn’t matter.

Let March 21^st be the day of the Live Journal Counter Strike!
