The Internet has many STUPIDS. And many fucking arseholes, also.

well, after the weeping and such [sue me, it struck a rather sore nerve], when i got ahold of myself, i realized that it is a pretty crap photo of me.

still, they are, in fact, morons.

and thank you, cheez, for threatening them for me. i appreciate it. and, as i told you in PM, there's no need for apologies, rob. i love cat town and was thrilled to get to be in an episode.

Rabs, I was so mad when I saw that I literally started shaking. What I posted was about a gajillionth of what I really wanted to say.

I've decided that I'm going to get you drunk and seduce you, just to make up for their cunt-flea-edness.

I saw that picture.
She is fat only in a world where MaryKatenAshley are a normal size.

I hate people. These guys are probably all 300+ pounds and haven't had dates since the last time they showered and ate vegetables back in 1998.

I think assuming they had a date with anything other than their non-dominant hand is giving too much credit!

All good people hate Fark. But it's interesting to see that the "any woman over 98lbs is a hambeast" belief is not just held at SA, but at its younger, smellier enemy, too. Perhaps it's a general in-group out-group thing with internet forums.


[Yes, my custom title says I love it. I'd actually never read it until this link popped up. I think they could have found a more insulting title that was actually true.]

And by "all good people," I mean "those on the periphery of certain fora which Are Not Fark, and thus must cement their place as part of the in-group by denigrating the outgroup, thus reassuring themselves that they Belong." Internet sociology has the capacity to be rather good, if by rather good you mean "memetics with more jpgs."

Thanks for making me read Fark for the first time. Now I know Slashdot is in fact the fucking PINNACLE of intelligence.

I feel dirty. Kill me.

I like the guy who thought it was like Jean Teasdale, only he thought it was Blaisdell or something. An impressive amount of point-missing seems to go into the commentary on that site.

I didn't click the link because I'm pretty sure it'd make me sad on many levels. Rabs = lovely. CAT TOWN = lovely.

No internet forum can take that away... Those stupid ass jockeys.

Shit, I didn't even think it was a crappy picture of her, and I don't know her.

Internet manners nonexistent, users try and beef up self image by slamming others. Film at 11.

thanks. :)

it's certainly not the best picture of me out there on the intarwebbe.

Fark? Never heard of it before tonight, and now I'm glad.

Great Lost Bear, on the other hand! Back in the day, they had the BEST radio ads--these surreal little plays involving Elvis having various adventures. In one series, I kid you not, they stuck him in the middle of Apocalypse Now. "Ah love the smell of nachos in the mornin'. It's the smell of VIC-treh. The smell of CHEESE!"

It's the old Internet sport: "I'm so insecure that I have to make malicious fun of other people on the Internet, then cry 'But, it was a joke! Get over it already!' when they get angry at me. And, I can get away with it because I'm too far away for the injured party to come over and give me the broken limb I deserve.".

Now, I am not surprised by any of this, as all great things (like CAT TOWN) have their own little group of jealous haters. It was bound to happen. Those of us who have senses of humour not hindered by the "desperate to always appear as cool and detached as possible" gene just know better, that's all. What DOES surprise me is that these kiddies at fark weren't already familiar with the cats in their costumes. HELLO?! God, those pictures have only been circulating like mad over the internet for SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. For a bunch of internet-savvy, hipper-than-thou types, they're awfully behind on this one, aren't they?

Wankers. Wankers, wankers, wankers.

I really don't get why it's always the most pathetic insecure (generally inept and unpleasant-looking) males who pass the most critical judgement on women's faces and bodies. Perhaps it's that they spend all their time looking at porn and have never been actually naked with a real 3-D female.

Rabs is not mocked.

(Reply) (Thread)

I pop by Fark on occasion but usually it's just to see the odd news. The comments are useless in their predictability: some people post mocking comments, some other people defend whatever was mocked, and it dissolves into a pissy-fit. Every. Damn. Time.

I once had a match.com date go on and on about how how he loved Fark and how impressed he was that I'd heard of it. There was no second date.

*hugs for rabs*

*beat-downs for assholes*

and not fat at all.

I know a Farker. He's a Mormon with five kids. His wife works and he sits at home all day on Fark, right-wing message boards and playing computer games. Don't let the bastards get you down.

(postscript after reading above comments)

Just as an interesting side note: Said Mormon is overweight and so is his wife, yet his first line of attack when dealing with a woman (in his case usually Rosie O'Donnell, Margaret Cho or another typical right-wing target) is her weight. Interesting how that works.
