Condescending Wonka: The Put-Down to Our Generation

From 2010 onwards, we have been subjected to various demons of social networking; whether it's the generic "morning after" status about how "totally gazeboed" you were last night with "The G's" and vowing to never drink again, or that one "friend" on your newsfeed who cannot suppress their urge to post an controversial, argumentative status disagreeing with the majoritable view or an "indie" view, or perhaps it's the embarrassing, dig your toe into the carpet catchphrases used to project one culture's view, such as "YOLO"

As a social networking generation, we were oppressed by such things, having to resist the urge to comment on these posts using profanities and abusive terms.....until Wonka. Our good old buddy "Condescending Wonka" would say EXACTLY what was on everyone's minds when these status' appear. This form of Memes sky-rocketed to stardom, and quite rightly so, as in this blogger's opinion, CW has been the most amusing Memes to date. 

Although it seems to have been shelved now, long gone from the days of when CW used to dominate our newsfeeds. However, I wait in anticipation for the day when it returns, as lets face it, we all need some Wonka in our lives to put down these attention-seeking, narcissitic individuals who decide to enlighten to the controverial, unproven fact that "You Only Live Once"

Bravo, Social Media Generation....Bravo.
