The A-Z of Why the Internet is Shit
B is for ...
Baby pictures
The majority of people interested in seeing pictures of the offspring of other people are either relatives or friends to these people. Thus, the horrible abundance of baby pictures on the internet, and the people who want to look at them, is shocking.
Simply searching on Google for the term 'baby pictures' yields one hundred and seventy-five million results.
Some websites devoted to baby pictures can be explained and, thus, are fine. For example, in this technology-oriented age we live in, more families are getting computers; even the old folks of the world are getting into it. So new parent, who might have snapped some awesome pictures of their young children, may decide that driving however many miles to flaunt this miniscule catalogue of barely worthy photographs is a waste of petrol and time. Instead, thanks to the apparently awesome that is the internet, these parents can open a free website somewhere, whack their photos up on a site and, boom! Instead of having to go through the same stack of photos one hundred times with various family members and friends, they can simply point to a URL and whoever wants to fawn over the photos may do so.
In the new order of the internet, that I myself am heading and will one day force upon this endless cyber network, these sites will be permitted.
What I do not understand, however, is why there exist gallery websites, where users can submit their endless reams of baby pictures for the entire world to browse.
Apart from the fact that most babies lack a charactertistic look, ensuring just glancing at a couple of the little irritations means you've seen it all, who really would like to go on the internet, scour it (this is not very hard - the first link, currently, on Google when searching 'baby pictures' is a gallery site) for gallery sites and then spend time looking at all the pictures the site displays?
I will answer this question for you. The answer, simply, is paedophiles. Parents are either willingly or unwittingly providing pornography for any paedophile with so much as an ethernet cable, a box of tech, a monitor and an internet connection. This, showing the wastes of society what they truly want, will eventually crack the minds of these people and send them to the streets, foaming at the mouth, ready and more than capable of stealing a child.
Baby pictures must go. You may think they are cute, but please. Think of the children.
