Throbbing Hive with Wits' John Moe: Worst Things on the Internet
April 07, 2015
Every Tuesday at 7:30am Wits host John Moe stops into the Morning Show to share the latest news in Technology.
This week, John Moe chatted with The Morning Show's Jill Riley about how, now that March Madness is complete, the next tournament seems to be the Worst Things on the Internet. Also, annotated lyrics from Eminem.
1. Worst Things on The Internet
Now that March Madness is over, the real tournament begins: the worst things in the Internet, thanks to SB Nation. Is the number-one seed "People IMing you on Facebook"? Or how about people who confuse "their", "there" and "they're"? Near as John can tell, there isn't an actual voting mechanism for these, but it's interesting to look over these items, not to mention how the Internet is a giant complaint engine. Maybe a fun idea is to print out this bracket for yourself and to hold a tournament among your friends.
2. Annotated lyrics from Eminem
Eminem has started annotating his and other people's lyrics on Rap Genius. They get pretty weird. I think he tries to rhyme Linda Ronstadt with lobster.
