Because Trolls Are Human, Too. Well, Maybe Not

BoingBoing TV put together a mockumentary outlining the history of internet trolls, or people who lurk on your site and leave castrating but generally incoherent commentary under the sweet sweet security blanket of anonymity.

Like typical troll narratives, it makes no sense and will probably not make you more sympathetic to its lamentable species. But we all need to explore our demons.

A handy excerpt: "Truly this is a golden age for me and my ilk. The internet has brought with it new opportunities to release our flies in the ointment of society, to thumb our noses at sensible debate, to derail thought-provoking and well meaning discussions."

We cried.
