Neither do we."><img src="http://blogs.kitschmag.com/watch/files/2008/11/picture-46.png" alt="A sample post from Posh Society. Don’t get it? Neither do we." align="left" height="189" width="226" /></a>And its name is <a href="http://poshsociety.com/">Posh Society</a>! WTF is it? Um, I don&#8217;t really get it, yet, but I&#8217;m working on it. They say they&#8217;re an &#8220;<a href="http://poshsociety.com/about-us">interactive forum for entertainment and communication, where users anonymously evaluate the social scene at their college.</a>&#8221; It&#8217;s like <a href="http://juicycampus.com">JuicyCampus</a>, but with pictures? And instead of subject matter like discussion of the least manicured vagina on campus (&#8220;Grass on the Pitch? Shave that shit!&#8221;), we have pictures of people you don&#8217;t know and Perez Hilton-style commentary (see &#8220;she bangs, she bangs,&#8221; at left). It&#8217;s not really clear who posts or moderates all these blog-style posts, and the site&#8217;s admins didn&#8217;t respond to my email. But you can submit gossip in a typical blog entry form, so, being the wily journalist that I am, I decided to see if I could get something past the mysterious <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Park_Is_Gay!">crab people</a> moderators.</p>
<p><span id="more-177"></span> And it went through! Extra lulz for animal abuse.</p>
<p><img src="http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/676/picture50zk6.png" alt="The post I submitted to Posh Society, which somehow made it past the moderators?" height="538" width="590" /></p>
<p>Needless to say, this site won&#8217;t catch on for a number of reasons. First of all, nobody cares what shitshow frat party Susie McSororistute is attending. There&#8217;s a reason Perez Hilton blogs about celebrities, what with their <em>actually being famous and all</em>.</p>
<p>Second of all, Posh Society wants to be positive: &#8220;Through diligent oversight and strong control filters, Posh Society will ensure that this social utility is entertaining, constructive, timely, informative, and not used in a harmful or malicious manner.&#8221; The only reason JuicyCampus works is because it is used in an expressly harmful or malicious matter. Complimenting rando&#8217;s bangs? Fucking boring. Dishing on the sorry state of said rando&#8217;s <em>nether</em> bangs, however? Do tell.</p>
<p>Third of all, the moderators suck at their job. I contacted a guy who was identified in a couple of pictures on Facebook, and he said that he didn&#8217;t put them up &#8212; isn&#8217;t posting pictures of people without their permission crossing certain legal lines? (He might be lying to cover the fact that he wants to be a local celeb, though.) They let my retarded post get through, and they probably wrote up that vapid &#8220;she bangs&#8221; shit, too. It gets worse, though. They followed the &#8220;bangs&#8221; thing with this matrix of celeb bangs:</p>

<p>Die, Posh Society, die.</p>
