I thought about writing a post about how much I detest #hashtagged Twitterpiles as a substitute for actual discourse and how the whole #amazonfail brouhaha represents the Internet hivemind at its knee-jerk worst, but it’s probably just best to remember: “Any sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice.”
So, congratulations to Amazon on a boner so huge it took Web 2.0 and microblogging to make it happen. And the French.

You’ve clearly sparked a very important conversation about the price of human error in the post-perception era. Clearly no one comes off smelling of roses in this little scenario, but the delicate balance of information management in the age of Twitter . . . I can’t go on with this. I really just wanted to say “Haha, boner.” He was always getting Kirk Cameron involved in crazy schemes, but I didn’t know he was a canonical Batman villain.
