Apparently, there’s a thing going on for the internet ‘in crowd’ — a group I’m very proudly<\/i> not a part of. I do not want to know these people. Ever.<\/p>\n
No. I’m not being a bitter outsider. I just really, seriously<\/i> don’t want to have a faux e-friendship with anyone who pimps their baby to the fucking internet for cash donations, ads, and potential freebies from various companies.<\/p>\n
And I really, really don’t want to be known by anyone who has the balls to complain that they were turned away from an evening, invite-only cocktail party<\/i> for having a baby with them.<\/p>\n
What sort of fucking idiot takes a baby to a cocktail party anyway?
\n
\nAnd, yeah, this really happened. And people are really saying that Nikon — the people who sponsored this slightly-unaffiliated event — should be boycotted for having fucking rules about invites, attendance, and the proximity of babies to fucking alcohol and expensive camera equipment.<\/p>\n
Did these people think that, maybe, just maybe, if you can’t leave the fucking maggot with someone else for a couple of hours, then you don’t fucking need to attend this event? No. Of course not. You’re obviously entitled to having it your way, because you’re not just a mommy, you’re a mommyblogger<\/i>. You’re The Most Important Person In The World, Ever. You Invented The Internet<\/i> and Cured Polio<\/i> while breastfeeding. You’re the direct fucking descendant of Jesus. In fact, Jesus returned and had sex with his own father<\/i> to create you. You’re that fucking awesome<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Thanks for giving me a new insult. I doubt that’ll go over well with the self-described ‘mommybloggers’ who were smart enough to think that maybe, just maybe, squalling shit-factories not named on the invitation might not be allowed in<\/i> to this alcohol-serving event, but I don’t really give a fuck. Conventions of any sort will never be my scene, whether they be HolyShitFuckingAwesomeHorrorFestDesignedEspeciallyForHunter or BlogHer.<\/p>\n
I gotta say, though, even though I don’t own a Nikon, I totally support them for this. And I’d totally go buy one right now, if I could. Because anyone who hates babies is fine by me. And, according to some bullshit twitter thing, Nikon hates<\/i> babies. And I’m totally<\/i> swayed by self-important baby pimps.<\/p>\n
