It says everything is your fault.

Nice going.

Talks about blame.

[Tmall]

It must be somebody elses fault.

[Avatard]

That pretty much sums it up.

I'm going to go with: Ted Turner & Al Gore.

But Fast does think that the 24-hour news cycle, the Internet, and social networking (Twitter, Facebook) are exposing us to much more blaming behavior than ever before.*

I'm going with Tina Turner and Gore Vidal.

Ooh I hate the blame game.

At my part time job, they blame everyone for everything. They expect me to take it and when I don't and point out that it couldn't possibly be me they get all flustered and don't know what to do. Eff that shit.

I blame Ghandi. It's that stupid fuckers fault.

[Avatard]

I'm going with Tina Turner and Gore Vidal.

...And I'll raise you Tina Fey, and Vidal Sasoon.

*Fast's experiment may explain why Internet comments so rapidly disintegrate into vitriolic name-calling—because blaming keeps getting passed on in different contexts. "If you read one comment by someone who is really being a jerk, you might not reply. But then you read another comment, then blast someone else entirely," says Fast.

Hmmmmmm
