Poll!/Tweet! – Answering Life’s Biggest Questions

As much as Twitter has been brought into the foreground of our social consciousness, it is still in its relative infancy. We use it, we engage it, but are we entirely sure how we should be using it? Moreover, can we glean meaning of our world – and of ourselves – from it?

Twitter user SC_078 offers an attempt to heighten the self-awareness of our Mothersite through this new player in social media:

Mr. _078 – the self-proclaimed “Pussy eating champ of Southern Ohio” – a man who spends most of his Twitter-hours using poor grammar to engage porn stars, raises an interesting question. However, before we can answer it, we must chew it down to the bone. He wouldn’t ask this question at all if he didn’t have some inclination that FanGraphs — blessed be thy name — is actually gay. What would prompt him to jump to such conclusions? We must assume that he believes one of the following to be true:

1. FanGraphs, through its use of advanced metrics and forward-thinking baseball analysis, is somehow championing a homosexual agenda.

2. The writers at FanGraphs, either collectively or through a simple majority, are homosexuals.

3. Mr. _078 finds it proper to use the term “gay” as an adjective to describe having a happy, cheerful demeanor.

4. Mr. _078 finds it proper to use the term “gay” as an adjective to describe something he deems un-useful, unlikable, or uncouth.

I don’t particularly subscribe to any of these credos, but what am I to do? The huddled masses have spoken.

So let us, fair NotGraphs readers, engage in a little self-reflection. It is good for the soul. Let us take a moment, introspect, and conjure the exact reason we are all so gay.
