There’s a distinct air of panic accompanying the stale air in Jason Backcap’s room this afternoon. It’s not the fact that his mum hasn’t cleaned his room for a week, but because the opportunity for him to comment on a complete stranger’s post on Facebook is slowly slipping away.
Jason, who is partial to a few cheese flavoured Twisties, regularly and unnecessarily shares his opinions on any current affairs that cross his news feed. However, today his keyboard has betrayed him, becoming too clogged with his beloved twisties to permit a response.
“Nooo!” He petulantly yelled.
“MUU-UUM” He called to his mum for support. Only to realise she was out at her weekly game of bridge and was unable to aid him.
The post in question was a status posted by prominent Australian feminist Clementine Ford, who was addressing the current sex scandal rocking the advertising world with the release of the new ‘Gillette commercial’.
Jason, a self-confessed MRA (men’s rights activist) was furious that he was unable to remind Clementine Ford that it is because of people like her are somehow to blame her for a rise in poor mental health amongst single men who live with their parents at 32.
With the online commentary surrounding Clementine’s new hot take heating up for internet trolls, time is ticking for Jason to clean up his keyboard and get typing.
More to come.
