A good idea? Of course not. Let sleeping pigs sleep. Even if they are just symbolic pigs.

The artist who represents the internet in this way is one pathetic individual.



The person who interacts with the internet in this manner is equally pathetic.
The internet is whatever you do with or make of it.

Just my opinion; and never to be taken too seriously.  ;)

I think the comic strip portrays a lot of truth ... ignorance on the part of the blue caps (?), abuse, disillusioned, etc ... I think BB would like me to stop before I step on too many toes. ;D

Kicking the pig's quarter saying, "Hey, amuse me" is just so real that it is just too funny. Take a good look at Facebook and Google+ postings. Hey, I'm not referring to all ... but a good majority just borderlines nonsense. What do I care what you have for lunch?

I hope that pig stands up on its twos, wipe its nostrils, and tell the blue cap, "Now, it's your turn." I got a pretty good idea what becomes of the blue cap.

Pigs are omnivores, so there would be very little left afterward.

Internet, stuff on it like facebook, email, twitter, sites, can be very important and necessary.
(Moments later when viewing that)
scratch that. It can be useful but we have idiots on this planet that fill it with garbage. One of the reasons I don't twitter, or use facebook.

As for the comic, I don't get it. Internet has no mood. And if it does, its angry right now, cause my net is down and im using my smartphone to type this.

After very long and serious consideration I've reached the conclusion that the internet pig is a very fat cat.

The intertubes are full of cats!!!  LOL

Sorry been watching too many posts from I Can Have a Cheezburger site.

I still go with the pig, as the net eats everything completely, leaving little to identify what got in its way.  It eats 24/7 and if you aren't careful, you will be on the menu.  Definitely a herd animal as well, for it seems to always be multiplying.

Cats, on the other hand, are finicky eaters and eat only at certain time.  They also seem to leave artifacts behind to identify what they have been eating.

Be careful on your penultimate conclusions ... with all due respect, it is all becoming true.

There may be more truth here than you think.

I have a few "social media" type locations that I frequent (including this one) and sometimes, there's just "nothing on the net".  ;D
