The Unger Report: Exploring The Darker Side Of Tweets And Twitter

This demands to be shared. At three and a half minutes long, it’s quite possibly the best commentary I’ve heard, ever.

Out of pure love and admiration, I transcribed the entire piece, but you should really listen to it. Reading it doesn’t do it any justice. I repeat, click the link above and listen to it.

Some Random Observations While in Taiwan

• Tons of kids wear chucks in Taiwan, which makes me want to throw mine away.
• The girls that department stores use in their lingerie posters are not attractive.
• People don’t sound angry when they speak Mandarin in Taiwan, but it doesn’t make the language sound any less ugly.
• The language is ugly.
• You know how people in Monterey Park are the worst drivers ever? I have reason to believe that they are all former drivers from Taiwan. The resemblance is staggering.
• I thought “streetwear” here was bad. It’s a whole other level of ostentatiousness there.
• It’s official. Annoying college kids transcend international boundaries.
• My hatred for the fade haircut also transcends international boundaries.
• The language is ugly.
• For some reason, people seem to think it’s socially acceptable to pick your nose in public. I’m talking full on geological excavation, contort-the-entire-shape-of-your-face style.
• Seeing a semi-attractive white girl with a Taiwanese I-have-too-much-money-so-I-think-it’s-okay-to-dress-like-I’m-European-and-have-long-rainbow-colored-bangs-with-the-rest-of-my-hair-buzzed douchebag is extremely upsetting, regardless of the fact that the white girl gave off the aura of a hired extended-stay-escort.
• Since so many fake goods come from Taiwan, you might think that people would have fake tits as well. This is not the case.
• Stinky tofu is, in fact, too stinky for me to enjoy.
• The language is ugly.
