I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I HAVE A BANANA IN MY EAR AND MY CAPS LOCK IS ON

Posted by on Thu, May 14, 2009 at 11:20 AM

Has this ever happened to you? You're on the internet, reading stuff, and it suddenly occurs to you that you're bored. It would be much more exciting if everything was in ALL CAPS, wouldn't it? Thanks to Kanye West's rant against Twitter, the good folks at F.A.T. have developed a device that will put any page into all caps. For instance, now even the stodgy world of literary readings can be as exciting as a Kanye West rant:

Thanks, internet. You've done it again!

Paul, I hope you've heard of the Malkovich Mediator. It takes practically every text element of a web page and replaces almost every word with a phrase of your choice.

You can easily be an Armchair Dadaist with a few keystrokes and the click of a button.

Paul, revel in your own narcissistic universe RIGHT NOW:

There's truly nothing like injecting random, unknown javascript code into your web browsing experience!

Paul, Honey, how did you get the banana stuck in your ear? I think you are doing it wrong.

I hadn't seen the rant before, but yeah, I still love Kanye. HIS CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!! Though he could have been a little more self-aware and funnier by swapping the final exclamation point with a 1.

I find it fascinating how well we are all trained to hear e yelling voice in our heads when we see capitolized letters. We are evolving.
