Orkut – a colossal waste of time

Yes. it’s official. i deleted my orkut profile again (for the 3rd time).
Yes. I have my reasons
No. i dont give a shit if you think i’m crazy.

Well, orkut sucks. Really. The place is like a public urinal. Anyone with a stupid internet connection and an invite spends half his
life here. My school, not the most disciplined of institutions, is one of those places exceedingly plagued by orkut. Seriously. You say
hi to someone at school, you’ll find him sending a friend request to you the very evening. Every single moron with a computer or pocket money,
enough to waste an hour in a remote internet cafe is a member.

Now, coming to the basic concept of orkut, you’ll note that it SUCKS. Especially the columns. And more specifically, the godforsaken column called :’about me’.
we can generally state the way in which degenrates fill up this column as:
“hey! i’m not 18 yrs old as said here, lol! im cool, hot and luvvv hangin out wid my frnds!! :) lolzzz. if u wanna noe me, see my testmonials! lolss”
and you see their picture, its normally that ‘this persons picture is too sexy to be put’ or some crap like that. and the worst part is that these people actually
think they’re funny. And they are equalled by their degenerate friends who, are amused when they see pictures like ‘i’m too sexy’ and scrap:
‘lol..nice pic..’. now, wait a fucking minute..are you retarded? anyone with such a display picture is normally as good looking as a nomad sadu bathing in the Ganges.

The other thing which pisses me off are the communities. With communities like ‘I hate to wake up early’, ‘I love my doggie’, ‘I love to shit in the morning’ and shit like that,
its not the most sensible place to be in.

But the biggest doofus in this shit stained portal is the thing you find in the top right corner of a profile. Yes, the ratings. Heres something i found out:

Experiment:
Gautham Srinivas joins orkut again. After 3 weeks in orkut, realises no one’s rated him.
Gauthams very pissed off. He finds that one of his orkut friends who has the iq of a pregnant skunk is 90% cool, 80% trustworthy and 90% sexy.
Gautham thinks how this is possible, decides that hes too boring to be rated by his friends and logs out.
But alas, he thinks of something groundbreaking. He goes about and rates all his friends. He decided to be nice and gives good ratings to everyone.
2 weeks later, he logs in.. only to find that hes all of a sudden 70% sexy, 80% cool and 80% trusty.

Observation: You rate people, you get rated.

Inference: Orkut SUCKS.

There are many more things like the excess of Brazillian lesbians, pedophiles, pakistani ‘anti indian’ morons and freaks like me.
so, i concluded that it’ll be a better place without me, and i would be better off without it.
so people, sorry for the bad craziness. I’ll probably join orkut after i’m tired of all worldly affairs. till then,
peace

    true.orkut does suck.

    but then,repetedly something redeeming happens when my finger is hovering over the’delete account’ button.

    like finding a lost friend through some asshole’s list which will have his about me as :hey hot gals!am collll.i want to ‘make’ friendship with you.

    the evil in the good.or maybe its the reverse.blah

    good post though.

    and i can really identify with your desperation for comments.
