An "...ate my balls" Editorial
When the Defense Department, began work on arpanet, the precursor to the
internet, they scarcely had any idea what it would develop into. After a period of being
dominated by computer geeks and social misfits, Big Business opened it up to the
mainstream, now any 
with a half-decent credit rating can buy a computer, and
thusly, access to the internet.
One question remains; what happened to the geeks and misfits?
One feature of early internetting was sophomoric humor, expressed by teenagers spending
too much time playing with computers, and not enough time playing with girls. These days,
the internet is filled with millions of sites about millions of different topics. So you
would think that with all of these different things to make a web page about, people would
naturally become more refined and cultavated. Nonetheless, pockets of immaturity persist,
and one of these are the ATE MY BALLS websites...
It all began with a simple site called "Mr. T Ate My Balls". For some reason,
this immature idea spread like wildfire. Thousands of people looked upon these sites and
laughed. I imagine they were reluctant at first; but, after a few minutes their IQ was
lowered enough to be able to enjoy it. What is so funny about a famous person eating
balls? One possible reason this is so popular is because ATE MY BALLS websites are so easy
to create. All you have to do is get some pictures, write stuff about balls on them, and
post it up. What could be easier?
Many people object to ATE MY BALLS pages. Several have been shut down due to copyright
violations. Others have recieved tons of hate mail from the fans of whomever the site is
about (hey! How dare you dis Mr. T!). Unfortunately, these people don't really seem to get
the point of ATE MY BALLS pages. What is that point? Who knows. But whatever the reason
someone had to make an ATE MY BALLS page, you can't deny that thousands of people
love these sites and many more are to come!
Still don't get the point of ATE MY BALLS? Go to the links and check some out.
