Mikey

Mikey. Poooor, poor Mikey.

Unfortunately this gem has been off the internet for quite some time now but through the magic of website caching, this HTML eye-sore will be forever preserved. When it comes to webpages that make you want to cry for a myriad of reasons, few have ever reached the height that Mikey did.

Mikey was an eleven-year-old boy from New Mexico who had his junior high heart crushed by a girl. In his solemnness, he created the perfect rebound tool using his very own computer. This webpage drips of sadness and loneliness and if you listen to the sound file of him, it's even worse.

"Hello my future girlfriend. This is what I sound like. I am eleven years old, in the sixth grade, in New Mexico. Please PM me, if I'm on Yahoo! Chat. Bye, thanks for stopping by."

What girl wouldn't want to be serenaded by the prepubescent voice of her man talking to nobody in particular?

What is this... what is this feeling that is coming over me? Am I... am I feeling sorry for Mikey? Is this pitty? No... it's guilt. I feel ashamed that I am making fun of somebody who... who is so pathetic... and I'm making fun of him. Have I become the bully in the back of the bus?

I can't continue. I... I need to go lay down for a while.

Conscience... I hate you.

Tune in tomorrow when I make fun of PuppiesWithCancer.org!
