(or): Join the Nazi party and throw kittens into blenders!!!
Oh, calm down. Don’t send me hate comments or email. I am making a point here.
***DO NOT REALLY JOIN THE NAZI PARTY OR THROW KITTENS INTO BLENDERS***
So as you may or may not know, I am involved in a social media experiment where my loyal minions, friends and followers are trying to break the record for the most comments on a WordPress post… Yes, it started as a gag to boost my stats, but it has become so much more than that.
The thing is… (hi thing, I knew you would show up today)… WordPress can’t or won’t tell us what the record is. So we have been scouting around on our own. So far, the most comments we have found on one personal, non-funded blog post was a rant by a young girl who says that women who have children will never amount to anything or live up to their potential as human beings, and she feels sorry for them. I am not going to take sides on this, even though I think she is wrong.
So this opinionated young lady gets over 12,000 comments. Most of the comments were from people telling her she was an idiot. But hey, she did get a lot of comments.
In our quest to find out how many comments we needed, a few of the responses we got, besides not being very helpful, sort of seemed to express the feeling that our little attempt to break this record was nothing but a stunt. A game. It has no social relevance.
Even my older daughter agrees with this point, and she is 23, so she knows everything.
So the point I am trying to make with my little Nazi kitten blender joke is this:
If I did a real post like that, and pissed people off so much that I got ten million comments… telling me what an ass-hat I am… is that more socially relevant that my ‘stunt’ where I just keep begging you to join us in our comment record attempt?
Is being controversial more relevant than getting people to join together for some fun?
Is talking about ‘issues’ what makes something important, even if the issue is a horrible one?
On top of that, we have turned the post in question into a chat room. We are writing poems together. We are discussing real issues in there. Yes, I admit there is a lot of silly jokes and just being weird and goofing around, but is that not a worthy goal?
People are meeting other people, following other people, and they get to be a part of something that might actually become something huge. It is still spreading around the globe. We have over 12,000 comments so far. On one post. When I go to sleep, people hang around and welcome new people.
It has taken on a life of its own
***DO NOT COMMENT ON THIS POST***
***(especially to tell me that I am bad for telling you to join the Nazi party and kill baby cats, because that was meant as humor)***

Pouring My Art Out 
Fun is socially relevant, imposing one’s skewed values on others-not so much. You win.
Yay me!
