Rehaul.

When I started this blog, I envisioned it as being one that people would check daily for its humor, intrigue, and voyeurism. For a few fun filled weeks, I posted without prejudice everything people sent in as long as it was in some facet a "mean thought". This blog had some fantastic and gripping meanness going steady. Then things dwindled. People sent in racist material on a routine basis. Mean thoughts were relegated to angry sexism. Completely unbelievable and eye-roll inducing statements filled my inbox repetitively. It got old.

So I've decided to redo this thing, as a last chance effort that it will rise to the heights I had imagined for it. I really think this blog has its own little special corner in our digital vastness, and I would like not to bail out on it.

Firstly, I recognize that I am in need of some help. I have friends out there (in the real world, heard of it?) who had expressed interest in being an "editor" of sorts for the blog, so in the near future I plan on reaching out to them for their guiding input. Some fresh ideas. Some frame of reference.

Secondness, I plan on changing the core of this blog's meaningness. "Mean Thoughts" is just too vague and limits the site more than I would like. I'm thinking that the new direction will just be, simply, the essence of "Shitty Dudes". This encompasses mean thinking, natch, but also will include true stories, commentary, critiques, and the like. It was pointed out to me on multiple occasions that certain entries that I saw fit to include weren't necessary "thoughts" and I hope that this new approach will do away with that paltry complaint.

Thirdful, it is high time that I was more stringent on what I allow on this blog. Some racism, sexism, ageism, infinityism is funny and can allow for a certain degree of entertainment. But all the "I hate black people because they smell" stuff is boring. I am certain people were just sending me that stuff because I would publish it, and because they were retarded. I will set up an email account in the near future specifically for submissions, and like always, I desperately implore you to send me some of your shittiness. Don't get mad, however, when it goes ignored due to your complete lack of sense. It is not my fault. It is your parents.

I expect this blog to improve greatly over the next few days or so, so please check back or leave me a comment with any suggestions you may have that would benefit us both in making the internet a shittier place. Thank you, and I goddamn love you.
