wtf, LJ?

Over in LJ News, the team announces the ability to send virtual gifts to people which will be forcibly stuck in their user info, all for the low, low price of ninty-nine cents. Predictably, wank happens.

LJ: "Here's a lame feature nobody should want to bother with. Enjoy!"

Users: "NEW FEATURE? YOU CORPORATE HORZ!"

LJ: "It's only 99c!"

Users: "IT ISN'T FREE? YOU CORPORATE HORZ!"

LJ: "You know you want it."

Users: "I'LL TAKE A BOX OF CHOCOLATES, YOU CORPORATE HORZ."

Oh, that's actually really, really adorable.

(As long as they have a special block against trolls, because that's where I see all the wank coming from. OMG you gave me a valentine! I don't know you! Unvalentine me bitch!)

As a bonus, anytime you receive 10 or more virtual gifts within a two week period, we'll credit you two months paid time to your account as our present to you.

Dude, if you think it's a waste of money I have the most *amazing* solution! For the low low price of STFU, you can, like, not pay 99 cents to put virtual flowers on someone's else's user info! But wait! There's more! For an additional payment of STFU you can kwitcherbitchin and Shut. The Fuck. Up.

You know, I saw that, thought "Aww! Now I have a way to acknowledge the awesome of my netfriends without actually spending a great deal more than a dollar on cards and candy and postage and shit," and then made use of it.

I never expected it would cause wank. I figured those who thought it was stupid would just... you know, not use it? It's what I do.

Seriously. I'm an LJ addict but it's getting to be an annoying addiction, as opposed to simply being a ... time-wasting but fun one.

Pffft. While I would appreciate the sentiment -- greatly -- the first person to send me virtual chocolates gets beaten... eventually. All the cute Internet affection in the world doesn't give me the sweet, consolation-prize love that is a box of chocolates from a platonic friend.

Each virtual gift will display on the recipient's profile page for two weeks before wilting away.

As far as I know this means that after two weeks, the OMG Invasion of the Unwanted but cute/sweet Flower will be gone/history. So your user info won't be 'destroy' forever.

Only a matter of time before a font fight should happen, right? Cage match, best of 3 rounds and as added bonus, send in the snarktoons.

ZOMG A DOLLAR. BRAKING MY BANK. THE INTARNETS IS SERIOUS BISINESS.

Did you hear that joke about the 10 different ways by bank RUA MORON to ski down a hill? Come up with an 11th style and you get free ABS brakes on your skis! Or rubber chickens, whichever comes first.
