“Can’t Read?” [Abso Ridic Pt.1]

If something doesn’t seem awkward about presenting that question via this medium then you need to close this browser and set your computer on fire.

So here I am just (legally) downloading some songs a friend sent me from a popular online file hosting site. To access the file you have to put in a three letter code for security purposes. So directly below the three letter code given, they have a supposedly helpful tab that reads (I swear to God) “Cant Read?”. WHAT?! WHAT?! You have GOT to be effin kiddin’ me. Like, i just don’t get it.

Website: “Cant Read?”.

Illiterate: “Well no, no i cannot read, this must be the link for me!” Is that how it’s supposed to work?

That is pure fu*kry on so many different levels I don’t even know where to begin. (Or do i?)

1) If I could not READ, would I be able to READ that tab that READS “Cant Read?”. WOULD I?

2) If I could not READ, what in the world am I doing on the Internet? Seriously, i don’t get it.

3) See above.

    I can’t read. I just like to look at all the funny little squiggly marks and make sounds like “Squeeeeeee!!!!”

    Try it. It’s fun.

    (I am not to be held responsible for the idiocy of this comment. I am currently engulfed in a massive case of “medicine head.” That is all. As you were.)

    Sorry?

    I couldn’t make out that last comment. I can’t read. I wish there was a button at Absohilare.com that I could read to find view my other options.

    Harrumph!

    Squeeeeee? What exactly do you mean by that Whitney? (Can you read this?)

  4. Whitney says:

    What? Who are you? Where am I?

    Seems like you guys are having a blast…

    too bad i can’t read or else I would get in on this.

    *reaches for coloring book*…

  6. V. Clev says:

    Lucky for you, you already have a nice set of crayola.

  7. A. Musin says:

    Sure do!

    Afterall, what would Christmas be without a nice fresh box on crayons for a grown man right?

    I might be mad you brought that up, you don’t understant how PISSED I was after unravelling all that extra gift wrapping that you usually put over something HOT only to find Crayola folks..Crayola.

    Too bad I still have them in the bag at my house and someone was like, “errr umm eeem…why do you have crayons ?”

    You do realize there is no cool way to answer that right?

    PMO!

    I’ve been meaning to comment on the whole Crayola situation for a while now… At least you took it like a man, wouldn’t have been me. She sounds like she should be friends with that fool (because there just isn’t another word for him) who doesn’t get dress down Friday.

    You think she can read? :)

  9. A. Musin says:

    I’m not sure if she can read…

    I know i can’t.

    *back to coloring…*

    I’ve always wondered about that ‘Can’t Read’ sign and wondered if I was the only one who saw the irony in all of it. Glad to know that I’m not the only one.

    And regarding your Crayola incident: find out when it’s her birthday, get a nice big bag, so that she’ll get excited, and give it back. You can even add a Dora the Explorer colouring book for good measure.

    This site is absohilare. I luv it much because love and such and south africa and peace….Ticki….eeem…sorry , never really leanrt how to read proper!

  13. simone clarke-cooper says:

    Hey, like …reading is for chumps anyway! Too hard!!! And sometimes the words are spelt a certain way and not even pronounced the right way - I mean, how can though be “THO”?????! I think reading was set up by the “MAN”, just to trick us, and I think the sooner we accept this and start to get computer screens and keyboards with pictures on it instead of letters and words, we’ll be better off. Fight the power!!!

  14. Bakedgood says:

    Simone is absolutely right. Mac should make it…i’d buy! But they couldn’t advertise it on the website because you know…we can’t read and all

  15. A. Musin says:

    Hm,

    I like the colors on this page.

    Nothing else though, as I am illiterate.

    I wish there was a button I could read to help me because I can’t read.
