Is humanity getting worse...

...or just more thoroughly exposed and understood?

At my workplace, there is a contest. The contest was originally something along the lines of "whoever finds the worst thing on the Internet wins." Of course there was no real prize other than the respect and/or disgust of the other people that worked there.

The contest then devolved into "whoever finds something that makes Null do anything but laugh wins." Changing the contest to this was a bad idea, as it turns out that the contest is now seemingly not able to be won, and I have to play by the old rules. That doesn't really matter though, as I always win.

Getting back to the topic of this post, is it that humanity is getting worse or that we're seeing more of it, thanks partially to the internet. Personally I'm in favour of more exposure as opposed to greater descent.

That said, I'm not quite sure that things have always been quite this "open".

What does everyone else think?

Andy thinks: It takes all kinds of people to make up this world. But it seems to take even more kinds to make up the internet. Therefore it can be said that there are people on the internet who are not of this world. Therefore Mr "Jar Squatter" is likely an alien, which makes me feel better about humanity.

Poor Andy.

Mr Jar Squatter's name is Jeff. He's heterosexual, married to a woman named Julia with DD bra size and lives in Miami, Brisbane.
