People who see value in 'trolling'.

I posted this a while ago:

Trolling is one of the most useless, pathetic things I've seen in my life. Really, really pathetic. It's like people have given up or lack the social acumen tu be civil, so they resort to the ease of just being nasty (which is much much easier than being nice).

It's easy to take advantage of people giving you the benefit of the doubt and taking advantage of that just furlulz is such a scummy, weak thing to do.

Thankfully for them, they have a willing audience who pats them on the back for their idiocy.

Trolling is as much an art as scamming charities is, except it's worse in a way because it isnt even for a financial gain, it's just gratuitous deception done for the acclamation of other like-minded individuals.

The only reason it works most of the time is because people don't expect such wholly unnecessary ridiculousness.

It's a joke based on the holiday special.
