[PART ONE] xeroxed, RT'd and plagiarized so many times on so many blogs tween blogs to republican blogs to blogs in Russia and blogs no one ever scrolls though... original content is prey but I have a warning for they:
overrated, over-shared content aggregators beware the lines you swap can rot and ware the World Wide Web does not care.
[PART TWO] original content original contests original continent original controversy original coordination between strangers original calvary riding their connection into the battlefield of internet memes; creating nothing and sharing everything
[COMMENTARY] original nothing, nowhere, nobody except facebook "Funny Vidoes!" & "Cool Quotes!". 'Like' pages whose sole originality lies within their own existence but nothing they share. They steal from the rest of the web and re-post what they find for out-of-the-loop troglodytes; often done so in inferior context and with no perspective. The 'refried beans' phenomenon, I call it. I find it fitting because 'refried beans' are a double misnomer. The name comes from 'frijoles refritos' - which means 'well-fried' not 'refried'. They are also never traditionally fried more than once. Yet the name sticks, it gets repeated, it gets re-shared and now that's what they are: refried beans. This phenomenon is why I believe art and all original content eventually become so over-shared and overrated that it's no longer interesting but irritating. These three parts of the poem "Original Content" are separated in abstract authorial presentation. The author has clearly expressed his dislike for the disjunct un-imagination of the internet and presents it as such.
[PART THREE] original authors losing control of their audiences who believe they are the creators and the artist's art is somewhat shareable original miscommunication between web 1.0 and web 2.0 reality original alphabet they use to type on their keyboards original grammar they learned in school original money their gov't printed original content they re-post original refried beans original content orginal contet ogrinal cotent ognal ctt oc .
