Once upon a time in the Internet

Once upon a time the internet was a place for technogeeks, assorted sci fi freaks, game nerds, and shut ins of all flavors. Now with all the electronic gizmos getting net wired Joe Public is invading our sanctuary with their gay ass blogs, poorly constructed web pages, and wanna be famous pop culture bullshit. Now all of a sudden the internet is fucking cool. It was cool until these mindless drones began their invasion of mediocrity and dimwittery turning the once pristine electronic wilderness into an online version of their stupid WiFi coffee houses as they swill their frapamochachino berry freezes and display their gay ass VAIO's splattered with all manner of wanna be chic stickers.

Stanislaw Lem's "Robots' Tales" could begin like this: once upon a time on the internet was ...", only the man did not like internet, which is kind of amazing for such futurologist visionary. Anyway, once pure, high and of difficult access, the Internet has become popular, as in "of the people" or simply - invaded by idiots.

Which is cool and fine as everyone should have access to information, but it's not so good when literally everybody can shove their trash down the pipes littering the system. It's not even about MySpace or dating ad pages, it's about millions of wannabe artists, cientists, pundits, conspiracy freaks and general idiots who feel the urge to publish their "work", and now they can, for free and with "user friendly" interfaces of all kinds...

I need a new Google search option: "sift through idiocies". On by default.
