As described/promised in my later post, I said I would update you kid­dies on my com­pletely unof­fi­ciall, non-scientific MLIA study:

My next study will be to copy an old MLIA and re-post it. I will make a hypoth­e­sis now that it will not get voted through. I would assume that no one will have remem­bered the post and there­fore not care if it’s been posted again. The con­clu­sion will be that the gen­eral MLIA atti­tude has changed.

The post:

Today I installed a pro­gram and it asked if I had read and agreed to the terms and con­di­tions. I hadn’t, but I clicked “yes” any­way. The pro­gram didn’t know I lied, and began to install. MLIA

The results are in.

Aver­age: 12 Meh: 10

That is sim­ply pathetic. I have other real posts that didn’t make it on MLIA but still had way higher counts than this one. Take for exam­ple this one:

Today, I found out that my name is the same as a mem­ber of the Knights of the Round Table. I now secretly con­sider myself cooler than other peo­ple. Thank you mom & dad. MLIA.

As you read this, I will have already quit read­ing MLIA. I now stick to sites like Fail­Blog, Lol­cats, and My Drunk Pics for my daily enter­tain­ment. Thanks for read­ing this not-so-long post. And then I found five dollars.
