Browser Religions
Jan 30th, 2007 by morpheus
I just came across the site www.SpreadInternetExplorer.com.
Needless to say, it’s a spoof on a similarly named fansite of a certain rival browser.
As I was going through the blog-replies to the satirical articles on that site, I noticed something very striking …
religious zeal, fanaticism !
Tormented rival browser fans spitting venom all over the place :
internet explorer suck
Microsoft f**king sucks, just look at all the god damn BLOATWARE! One example, in my opinion, is Internet Explorer. It is so f**king slow, it takes forever to download programs! Don’t get me started on outlook express, I got more worms from my mailbox than I have from random downloads! So I say once again, F**K YOU!
THIS SITE WAS MADE BY SOME 12 YEAR OLD LOSERS WHO ARE SO FAR UP BILL GATES A**, IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY. THEY CAN GO F**K THEMSELVES. GET FIREFOX. – [followed by several big “spread firefox” banners]
LOL, I bet this site was written* by a bunch of hackers, fed-up of people having a secure browser which they can’t hack.
* sorry, typo, “copied”
trust me! Firefox is much better
GET A LIFE A**HOLE!
f**k you
IE, doesn’t even suppor right PNG images, please, HOW LAME IS THAT? Neither it does RSS, and suxs with CSS! HAHAHA, Firefox supports a way better all standards. So… Don’t mess with the Fox!
So there … just a little sample which represents the general mood – “You do anything but profess allegiance to my religion, you deserve to die” … the satire all lost on them.
Some blame IE for slow program downloads. Others connect IE with computer naivety. Most just plain abuse IE users.
No one seems to care about the fact that it was Firefox fans that created the spoof site in the first place.
I don’t see IE users doing the same at the FireFox fansite.
The IE users I’ve seen can have a peaceful discussion on a forum. Can we say the same about FF users ? Heck No … they have the “word of God” that must be spread at all costs …
Dare to state that you use IE – on a public forum ? Try it and you’ll see what I mean.
I’ve seen sites that detect visitor’s browser and prohibit IE users from entering ! (usually with a derogratory message like “Get a life and a real browser” … at the same time providing a spreadfirefox.com affiliate link)
Missionaries, Intolerance, Rioting, Professing.
Sounds uncannily similar to religion …
