Despite two decades of online interactions which have exposed me to the very stupidest things humanity can offer, it nevertheless manages to sneak in a surprise now and again.

All the pointlessness of Xbox Live Avatars combined with the ancient (by internet standards) practice of rating them on a one to five scale based on how "hot" or "not" they are. And yet, I still found myself clicking through half a dozen avatars (rating every one a "3" because I don't know what the hell constitutes a "hot" or "not" avatar).

It's about time we stopped judging whether or not people were hot by how they look like and instead by which out of a very small selection of clothing they choose to wear and how much money they have spent on completely useless things. Small victories.
