Office Depot Shutting Stores: Hooray! Let's Stay Home And Watch Game of Thrones!

Is the Internet making your ass look too big?

Aww, that's ok. Just sit on your ass some more. The good news is OFFICE DEPOT is shutting stores.

Of course they are. WHO NEEDS TO LEAVE THE HOUSE WHEN THERE'S AMAZON?

That clever Nazi, Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, has made a fortune by having people check out a product in a store, then buy from Amazon instead.

At this point, with Amazon's minion of scabby consumers happily pretending offering reviews of every product, and getting "nice" comments for it, you can buy almost anything on line without even looking at it.

There's also Google's YouTube where happy scabs get the vicarious thrill of being Consumer Reports staffers, and post their videos of how certain products work.

Yes, there are good things about all this...we like CHEAP...but the bad thing is thousands of people are being thrown out of work...with no place to go. Think they can go to Amazon? Amazon doesn't need the 100's of cashiers, janitors, sales clerks and desk people that just got pink slips from an Office Depot. Maybe they need ONE extra person to read orders on a computer, and ONE extra person to walk around the warehouse putting items in boxes. That's all.

The bottom line is that fat bottomed people will get even fatter, because thanks to Internet dominance it's possible to buy everything on line and almost NEVER go to a shop. Just sit around watching Game of Thrones in your iPad and waddle to the toilet and take your show with you. And when it's over, go on line for take-away food, groceries to be delivered, or computer ink you once bought from Office Depot.

I'm not a HUGE fan of stores like Office Depot or Radio Shack because 20-somethings and 30-somethings are the customers and clerks and they're all a bunch of loudmouth slobs. But all I see is the Internet destroying jobs, not creating any. And the jobs they do create are for pasty-faced fat-ass people sitting in little boxes, not interacting with people and having ever worsening social skills in dealing with others.

Should I end with some good news? Climate Change means that there will be more days of scorching heat and humidity, blizzards, rain storms...so how nice to be able to stay indoors and do everything on line. Just hope the knock on the door IS the deliveryman, and not Boko Haram or some burglar chav ready to empty your home and empty a round of ammunition in your head.
