The more and more I do research web side on Gaelic customs, the more and more I detest wicans for clogging up the search engines with their masturbatory web sites.
I know quite a bit about the different branches and such (despite being an atheist ;) )
The thing that absolutely scalds me is that I was trying to do some research on gaelic holiday phrases for a webcomic project a fellow artist is invoved in. The premise is that we make a christmas tree and that each ornament is a different piece of art from a different comic. Since my comic is going off a gael/milesian cultural base, I wanted to use a gaelic phrase on the ornament.
Instead of finding what I was looking for, I ended up getting caught in the middle of a whole bunch of copy and paste based websites put together by every wannabe wiccan group in the world who simply regurgitated their content in mass to fudge the google page rankings and get top listing on the search engines.
I was up till 5:30AM dealing with this idiocy.
I finally went to bed with a quote of Kevin Spacey (from American Beauty) rolling through my head. "If I wanted to save myself now, I would have to start carpet bombing."
I finally found what I was looking for just now, but it is incredibly irritating.
