There is much worse stuff out there (for example, people writing who genuinely believe some of their stereotypes.) A great source for stuff like this is SomethingAwful, a very tongue-in-cheek look at the internet's low points. (Of particular relevence here is the Awful Link of the Day, and, one of my favourites, the Weekend Web. I believe this week's WW looks at the glory that is Cosplay (If you're really curious, the link explains all.))
What can I say, except that people are dumb, and people with technology and no connection to their audience are even dumber. The best description of the effect of this detachment is Godwin's Law; that the longer a usenet (or, in more contemporary internet terms, webboard) discussion continues, the more likely it becomes that someone likens someone else to Hitler and/or Nazis.
Of course, despite my regular dose of the dregs of the internet, I still get surprised once in a while. Case in point: happy slappers.

Guys can you tell me if you think this is real or fake.

Watch the movie and look at the site. I think it could possibly be real. But something about it seems fake. Don't know. If it is real I better get going on that mecha I am designing.

On the flip side, I have got to stop reading the Awful Links of the Day. They just lead me to more nonsense like this:

I don't know why I expect more, but people should know better. they just should. though, you are right, the whole sense of detachment makes it easier to get away with certain things, despite all our interconnectedness. anyway whatever. it was still something I found a little too far to just be tongue in cheek.
