“LOL”
Written by: Susan McMartin
Created by: Tom Kapinos

Hank Moody: “Thank you, um, but it’s more like pissing outta my ass than anything else. You know? It’s just… things bother me and I vent, I write it down.”

Henry: “Well what’s your latest obsession?”

Hank Moody: “Just the fact that people seem to be getting dumber and dumber. You know? I mean, we have all this amazing technology, and yet computers have basically turned into four-figure wank machines. The internet was supposed to set us free, democratize us, but all it’s really given us is Howard Dean’s aborted candidacy and 24-hour a day access to kiddy porn. You know? People don’t write anymore, they blog. Instead of talking, they text – no punctuation, no grammar, ‘LOL’ this, and ‘LMFAO’ that. You know, it just seems that it’s just a bunch of stupid people pseudo-communicating with a bunch of other stupid people in a proto-language that resembles more what cave men used to speak than the King’s English.”

Henry: “Yet you’re part of the problem. Yet you’re out there blogging with the best of them.”

Hank Moody: “Hence, my self-loathing. You know? (Takes another swig out of his airplane-mini-bottle of whisky.)”
