counters are for douche bags

Recently I have been on a number of websites and couldn't help but notice that some people still put counters on their pages and I couldn't help but wonder...why? Do you get a prize when their counter hits a thousand, million, billion? NO! Not even a free T-shirt. Does it make you feel like you are a part of something popular? Maybe, but wouldn't you feel more bandwagon? Realistically, they serve absolutely no purpose, which is why I don't put them on my site, but would my readers actually care to see what number they were on a counter? Maybe I am missing something? So I asked 3 of my buds what they thought about people using counters on their sites.
E-man's thoughts: What's a counter?
The E once again showing me just how useless he is, much like a counter.
Brian: Well sometimes if I like the number I use it to play the lottery.
Brian has proved that he is a waste of oxygen and is now dead, but thank God for Mike.
Mike: I guess the person wants to feel popular when they probably suck at life.
DING DING DING! Mike earned himself a beer at the bar tonight. People with counters are gay little losers who need a fucking counter to make themselves feel popular. Did you know you can start a counter at any number you please? That's right kids....you could start your counter at 79384179371209387190378 when nobody has even seen it yet. Not only that, but you can have one person equal to 1300485089134058134p hits on the counter, therefore a fat chick the size of 3 people could actually count for 3 people. And you know what is even worse...people who try to get creative with their counters (ie. You are the 9274918379012734 who fucked my mom...hehe). These people should ride down a slide of rusty razor blades and into a pool of lemon juice...ASSHOLES! If you ask me, there is only one individual in the entire world who can get away with adding a counter to their webpage and not come off as some douche bag trying to feel popular, and that man is this guy....
