ANGRY MOB

Well, it makes you immoral, probably causes cancer and now - according to a Daily Mail headline - Twitter 'causes brain overload'. Interestingly enough the headline takes many forms on the Daily Mail website. The most extreme 'Twitter causes brain overload, says study' is the smallest, probably because it is the most untruthful:

The actual headline of the article naturally (this is the Daily Mail) says something entirely different: 'How the Twitter age of rolling information has "robbed fans of compassion"'. The article is rather amusing when you consider it is hosted on the Daily Mail website:

'Electronic junk' seems a rather tame way of describing the vacuous drivel that passes for content on the Daily Mail website. For example, current highlights include: Sarah Harding shows off her legs in tiny hotpants as she enjoys a day in the park; Amanda Holden squeezes into an LPD (little purple dress) as she bids for fame Stateside; Leona Lewis' tight-fitting top shows the strain as she prepares to jet out of LA and on and on it goes.

Hours and hours and hours of tedious, pointless shite dressed up as something more important. As for the ability to 'think compassionately', where to start with the Daily Mail? This is the paper that revels in depressing its readers, hating everything and everyone. This is the paper that dubs Susan Boyle 'the hairy angel' then tries to blame ITV for exacerbating her mental illness.

As for a moral compass, the Daily Mail swings in whatever direction makes them a few more pounds. Paul Dacre's minions argue that the Police state and Google Earth are a terrible invasion of privacy, but shoving a photographer's lens up a girls skirt of revealing details of a private orgy is somehow a public service.

The article goes on:

Replace the phrase 'Twitter and Facebook' with any of the following: Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Sun or any other toilet-paper tabloid and you will be significantly closer to the truth.
