LOL. Would like to get it at Holiday Inn Express.

Those SA goons, such pranksters.

Now we know why search isn't up.

I used to work for a sign company . . . getting a kick . . .

Someone forgot to put enough of the screws back in that face when they serviced it last.

And wow that's a big face for acrylic.

I can't wait to see the graphs.

So will Drew buy the New York Times now?

Can't let those SA goons get an advantage.

I'm actually a bit disappointed, I thought this was going to prove that SA, Fark, etc are to printed news as The Daily Show is to hard hitting TV journalism. (I mean, I know I get all my news from Fark these days.) Still, made me giggle.

Damn Right! Those wiley Goons are always trying to get on top. One would think they had gotten over that whole Photoshop contest by now.

Wait, is this the weird part?

What else would you make a backlit channel letter out of?

You buy a paper for 50 cents, you open it up and find there's no sports section. You have to pay another 50 cents if you want that. You pay another 50 cents to get the entertainment section, only to find out that this section is broken.

I hear the SomethingAweful goons had a bit of a windfall..

Why does the wind hate U?

Kenwhat: Does anyone still pay attention to SA? That site hasn't been funny in years and the forum always had this hive-mind mentality, which wouldn't have been so bad in itself except it was a hive of teenaged angst and stupidity.

SA is hit and miss at best now. Some of the articles are just so strange I don't know what they are going for, and others are just flat out lame.

I do love the rom pit articles though-they can be pretty funny.

Awww, that would have made USA today more interesting. Epic sadness...

Polycarbonate, of course, especially when it's that large and subject to wind.,

UPDATE: Picture after the jump.


Picture.


Wow, that was a huge jump. Thank God they warned me.

Wow. I'm so glad I clicked on that.... yaaaaawwwnnnn...

Um. Okay ...

Guys, SomethingAwful.com did not really buy USA Today. The wind blew a letter off the USA Today building so it said SA Today. That's all.

Gee, poor people. I'd hate to work for Cliff Yablonski.

Are you saying that someone on the Internet blew something out of proportion?

I read that as, Picture after the jump. See, the U jumped off of the building, committed suicide, couldn't take it anymore, and here's a picture of his broken, twisted little U body aftet the jump.

Sad tag. Poor U.

Me too. I know, you have to ignore libbynomore2 and all the rest of the trolls, but this is still where the good stuff pops up.

There must not be a media outlet gap!

I thought this was funny. It's hosted on YouTube but created by two goons from SA.

Part 1 (new window)

Then again, I'm a nerd.

Careful son, that's dangerous talk. I hope you don't have an account, I hear the SA mods stalk the internet, looking for dissenters who post 'incriminating' things on other forums...

I hadn't considered that. OK, I'll buy that.

And just how does that differ from Fark's hive of teenaged angst and stupidity???

No, no, I go to other places on the Internet, communities that create the content for which SA later claims credit.

At SA it's mostly from actual teenagers.

Eh, you know all I can say about SA is they generate a ton of drama. Take from that what you will.

Attempting to paste Internet humor onto real life rarely, rarely, RARELY works.

This is one of those times.

Why the hurry, couldn't wait til tomorrow?

Zack Parsons has had some epic sci-fi (see Instructions for a..., That Insidious Beast, etc) lately. Barkwire is hilarious, too.

/you spoony bard!

Anyone who says 'after the jump' is an irredeemable douchebag.

I go there for the photoshop Friday posts. Everything else is indecipherable partially hydrogenated wharrrgarbl, with a stale hipster flavour.

You just described Fark to an f-ing TEE.

I'd say fark is more a hive of 20yo - middle aged angst and stupidity.

Internet tribalism is a mixture of low comedy, an unfulfilled need to belong, and pathetic, lonely sexual frustration.

At least in my experience.
