12. Arrgh! Another "Smoking Avatar"

Really, what's the deal with all the smoking avatars?

Aren't you concerned that they might get emphysema or cancer and be replaced by a red X, like this:

15. It's "Men Seeking Men", doesn't everybody know that?

:evilgrin: }(

[progressoid]

16. I've begun using 'corporate media' instead

the way things are going WE will become the media.

[arwalden]

17. It Sounds A Little Too Silly And A Little Too Paranoid...

Haven't you heard that all the media outlets have secret meetings to determine what they will and won't cover. It's a conspiracy! And MSM kept the Indian Ocean nuclear detonation a secret.

Foil hatters. Grrr. I don't think it makes us look good.

I was hoping it would go away and fall into disuse. So now whenever I see anyone using it, I automatically take whatever it is they are saying with a grain of salt. It's hard to be certain if they are using those letters because they believe it's a trendy thing to do, or if they actually believe that big MSM is out to get them. :eyes:

Not to be confused with MTM or M4M or just plain S&M
