rotting my brains on the internet
You ever have one of those nights where you're idly perusing the internet, and one link leads to another and another, and the next thing you know you're learning about how the new prevalence of 'everyone gets a trophy' in little league sports will someday lead to the downfall of the human race due to apocalyptic-ally poor decision making on the part of our now failure-phobic youth?
if Miriam-Webster hasn't coined a word for this yet, they ought to, it's practically a full contact sport now.... The only mash up that comes to mind right now is Wiki-bating, which just sounds wrong... Maybe Procrasti-surfing? I don't know.
Anyway. Here. I'll cut you to the end of the trail. This is the article that's made me stop and laugh out loud for the evening.

yup, 'everyone gets a trophy' on one end, the end of the world as we know it due to T-Virus style contagion at the other. Whether you agree with it or not, it's entertaining!
