George Clooney Hates The Internets

This, my friends, is heartbreaking: George Clooney thinks that the Internet is a bad place filled with pathetic, angry people.

And all this time I thought that for sure he was an avid MamaPop reader and struggling mightily to prevent himself from falling madly in love with me, just on the basis of my magnificent prose. And, also, that he, like myself, regarded the Internet as a vast utopia of love and peace and generosity of spirit, where we all love one another, freely, without regard for anything other than the purity of our hearts and the sparkle of our wit.

Au contraire, dear Internet: he hateses us. He thinks we're mean:

Quoth Clooney:

“A few years ago, I went to check out this website that someone had talked about. There’s like, a thousand people sitting in dark rooms trashing you. Brutal! You’re like, ‘Wow, dude’.

“You see way too many angry people (on the internet). I remember getting off the machine and thinking, ‘Never, ever again’. I’d rather live in my own happy, quiet world where I think that everyone is nice.”

Oh, well. When you put it like THAT.
