Well, it’s a day after I post my new year’s resolution and I’m posting this? It’s all meant to be jovial good fun, I promise. The problem with my new year’s resolution is that it makes me reluctant to poke even good-natured fun, because the internet is such an anti-jovial zone.

All the more reason, I should think, to try and inject some good-natured fun. Rage against the machine: smile.
I think, if one were to avoid the comments, a site like Fanboy Rampage is actually funny and without bile. It’s just people like me in the comments that make it so vicious. But there’s nothing wrong with you having a good laugh now and then.
