What the Fuck is a Widget?

Just like hullahoops, Pop Rocks, Cabbage Patch Kids and legal prostitution, there are many fads that fucked up attention deficit disordered Ritalin junked Americans go through each year (or minute). The latest craze everyone is talking about, which has yet to be raped by corporate advertising, are Widgets. What the fuck is a Widget? I thought I had one of those already, and a fairly large one I might add. Contrary to my sickened mind I found out that Widgets are not big ol' donkey dicks like I had thought previously. I decided to inquire about these Widgets from the most worldly renowned credible academically prestigious certified source that this planet has ever seen besides God...Wikipedia!

"Widget, the World Watcher is an animated television series which focused on a 4ft tall, purple alien from the Horsehead Nebula named Widget who could shapeshift. He and a group of young, human friends, Brian, Kevin and Kristine, would go through a number of adventures to protect the natural environment. Widget is frequently accompanied by the Megabrain, an extremely intelligent but somewhat clumsy being who appears as a floating head (with a transparent cranium) and floating hands."


Sorry wrong Widget. Are these people fucking high when they come up with these shows? I should write stories for cartoons. Anyway, here is the Widget one I am referring to.

"A web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation. They are derived from the idea of reusable code that has existed for years. Applications can be integrated within a third party website by the placement of a small snippet of code.Web widgets often but not always use DHTML, Adobe Flash or JavaScript programming languages."

Whatever the fuck that means, a lot of people seem to think it's cool. So I guess I should do the American thing and think it's cool too.

I wonder if my webmaster knows what a widget is?
