Did you know we're responsible for the fall of civilization?
So, New Yorker film critic David Denby wrote a book called Snark: It's Mean, It's Personal, and It's Ruining Our Conversation. Tell us how you really feel, David. Or even better - how about everyone else telling us how they really feel?

(NEWSFLASH: Keith Olbermann NOT snarky. Film at 11.)

	It's the frequency, not the existence, of snark that he disagrees with. I can kinda see it, but on the other hand, I am a snarky bitch of the snark generation, and I don't see anything particularly wrong with the level of snark in society today. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Oh, pfft to that. If the internet had existed in ancient Greece, the snark would have been flying even faster and thicker than it already did. The only reason he acts like the frequency is a new thing is because now there are more records of it lying about. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
