You don't even have to be remotely witty to be sarcastic.

People always say that, but some of the most cutting sarcastic remaks are very intelligent and witty imho.
The cheap & easy sarcasm is just playground crap, as you say, but the whole "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" phrase (Oscar Wilde) is too often quoted for my taste.

What's a lower form of wit - sarcasm, or using cliches?

*ponder*

I disagree. Sarcasm rules. And to do it right, you have to be very witty and perceptive.

Besides, PUNS are widely considered the lowest form of wit.

I find this thing cool! On the forefront of technology again.
Not that I'm a fanboy (okay, maybe a bit), but for those following him and interested in what he plays, this is super cool.

The more I think about it, then more I like this as a concept. You can be on the dance floor with your iPhone and be able to see right then what the dj is twisting through that setup of theirs right in front of you... Kinda cool.

I'm curious to see what other DJs will do the same as Hawtin...
