Happy Snark Free Day!

In one of the most futile attempts in human history, the good people over at PRConsultants Group have deemed today, October 22, to be Snark Free Day!

"Fuck that shit."-Oscar Wilde

Toni Antonetti, a director for the project, has this to say on the topic of being snark free:

Instead of taking the cheap shot, take the high road. People have been emboldened by the anonymity and immediacy of online commenting. On Oct. 22, we’re asking others to commit to taking just a moment before speaking, hitting send or posting to think about the effect our words have on those who receive them. Be snark-free for one day.

Ironically enough, the snark-freedom fighters have put up a video on the snarkiest (albeit, least clever) place on the internet:

In the above video, subtly named protagonist (antagonist?) Jonathan Snark is used to demonstrate the harmful effects of snark. These effects include: pussies realizing they are pussies, the development of "snark" taste buds, and the ability to hold large letters. Snark sounds more like a superpower after they are done fumbling around trying to explain its drawbacks.

As a purveyor of snarky material, I feel personally offended by this attack on my way of life. So, in response, I urge each and every one of you to post the snarkiest comment you can muster on their YouTube video. Also, if you work at a job that deals with a lot of stupid people (Read: any job), be sure to be extra snarky to your customers, coworkers, and anyone else that doesn't have the power to fire you. Furthermore, I call for this snark to be dragged out for the rest of the week. Happy Snark Week everybody! (cwutididthere)
