Wow, when I read those headlines I had assumed it was complaints, like the headlines said and not one single complaint. Realizing now that I had missed that puts this piece in a different light indeed.

It's bizarre, the current climate. It's as if certain discussions are laced with gunpowder and matches. Look at what happened to my most recent "Sweden Democrat posters riot" article on Google plus: 41 comments and counting. Meanwhile on Adland (where comments help support the site), not a single one. I could kvetch about how social media simply spreads comments thin, diverting discussions onto too many different platforms here, but I actually believe that this is part of the cause for things going 'out of control', misunderstandings, warped reporting and oversensitivity to sly art jokes. It's as if half of the internet isn't even human anymore, with the ability to read and comprehend, but some sort of AI that just eats words and garbles non-sequitur word-chopped and irritated/outraged responses. People brought up on the internet alongside these bots think that this is how humans behave.

But yeah, if Banksy called in that complaint, then.. golfclap indeed:
