Internet nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

The Internet has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, folks, the medium that has brought us icanhascheezburgerFAILblogMySpace, and 4chan among other things is on the list of candidates to bring home the award that US President Barack Obama won last year.
Of course the internet has been the instrument of peace, there’s no doubt about it. Everyone’s too busy to wage war because they’re all updating their statuses on Facebook and Twitter, and are running around collecting points and badges on Foursquare.

Just what we need, a mark of sarcasm

“Anyone concerned that the irony of their email or text message might not be appreciated by its recipient can use the symbol to close their sentence, thereby avoiding awkward misunderstandings.” SarcMark – The Telegraph http://bit.ly/5ovJhG

Well that would certainly make everything clear now doesn’t it? I mean after all, being clear is what being sarcastic is all about.
