The lack of

     Creativity in the world has gone down. I blame the internet. Hello, I am Baliwala. You might know me from such posts as "Desi bitches" and "Channing Tatum is a faggot", but enough about that. Over the past six months I have seen a decline in comedic ability, and the main culprit is Vine. The majority of these blurbs do not even get a giggle out of me. What is more disheartening, is the amount of people who "like" these videos. They comment as if they are in the middle of a seizure. It's not that funny. I usually see these comments on the Vines titled "Niggas be like" or "Bitches be like." I am intentionally using quotation marks because I want the marks to create a physical barrier between my words and those of which that come from idiots. Anyway, even though I do not like the videos or the people who make them, there is a  level of respect from my end. This is because they have found a niche and if they are not already, have the possibility of benefiting financially. The excuse of always being in a hurry might explain this phenomenon of minute attempts at comedy, or that it does take a creative mind to come up with a funny skit in a short amount of time, but I don't buy it. Everybody has time to sit down and laugh for more than 7 seconds, and that is not enough time to have a person truly engage into a meaningful message. I am Baliwala. Nothing can replace genuine thought and art. That is all.
