Facebook Astronaut

A certain class of internet user -- I'm not saying kids particularly, because there's some kids who can present themselves as being really smart -- seems to take great relish in using hip-hop vulgarities, text-message style abbreviations and a general lack of grammar in their presentation of themselves on the net. They create the impression of being not just uneducated but anti-educational, anti-intellectual, and it makes you weep to think what they will be like when they grow up and enter the workforce:

"Srsly, ths B mai TPS reprt. The TPSs be all jammin' an shit. Like U fools evn no what TPS stands for. Word!"

Well, here's a fantasy about such a person growing up and becoming an astronaut.
