The Old Man and the Internet

"I look at this generation and feel shame.
Lord, how we lost ourselves to the internet.
In my day, children played outside and bought records.
Now my own grandchildren quote these YouTube thickheads.
It's Pewdiepie this, Jacksepticeye that, grown men with lewd commentary.
What kind of name is Pewdiepie anyway?
Undeniably a huge mockery.
These "creators" make a living doing nothing and somehow that's accepted.
They didn't even make this content themselves, am I the only one that's offended?
I've worked too hard to see my country go to shit.
When I took this job, I swore to make the world a better place, not a someplace to vomit.
That is why I am here today, to motivate you to vote YES on Article 13 and it's ban on copyrighted videos. I did my part, now it's your turn to be a hero."

Fuck you.
