home of Steven Hodson a cranky old fart and social media un-expert

This was almost too painful to read

A friend just passed me this link to a snake oil pitch that promises to make you a certified social media consultant. For some reason this friend thought that maybe I might have some fun with it. Well once I picked myself up from the floor after reading the MLM type intro I tried to think of how best to answer this gem:

socmed-stupid

How to even start to answer this was the question. My first response was sorta like this:

wha

I then progressed with utter amazement to this point

funny-pictures-cat-calls-you-stupid1

I then realized that there was really only one thing one could do when faced with such massive stupidity

roflmfao

But of course this is happening in a bubble world where everyone thinks they are some sort of social media guru – or can pay to be one. Or as Hugh MacLeod puts it

social media specialist

Now if you want a more eloquent response to this load of crap you can always go read Oliver Blanchard’s response.

(oh and Adam you owe me a new keyboard cause mine is now full of coffee)
