You guys are a bunch of A-Holes, ruining the nice website's contest like that.

It was internet detectives that drove Dana Plato to suicide, too many comments from the "Cheeto Commando Basement Brigade" unbalanced her enough after her appearence on the Stern Show that she decided to end it all. A terrible tradgedy and shame on people who troll internet sites and good people like Dana.

RIP Dana, you will be missed by good people but not trolls.

I found Dana Plato's lesbian scene with less than 30 seconds of Googling. Not much sleuthing at all.

/It was ok.

I heard Michael Landon died too!

I think I missed something here; why exactly do you miss Dana?

I need to pay attention; I thought it was just for fun, I didn't realize they were giving out prizes.

Dana was a tireless campaigner for Women's Rights in Season 2 Episode 13 "Get back in the kitchen Willis" and even though she robbed a video store with a BB gun, she gave hope to women everywhere that they could rob video stores with BB guns just as well as men could. Goddess Bless you Dana wherever you are!

A book is a prize? More like something that wastes valuable time that could be better spent on the youtubes

I wonder what the thread would have been like if Dana Plato had died in the Age of FARK.

FTFY, I hope.

To be fair, any of those places could be mistaken for a modest, single-family house in Oklahoma.

Wow, I didn't know that. I had drinks at the bar at the top of that place.

The Iron duke 2009-09-19 03:27:49 AM  
I met Dana Plato in 1985/86, in Granada hills near northridge cal. the iron duke was sharing a house with two buddy's on balboa blvd, and it was just a party pad. She came with her creepy boyfriend to sell us acid (he claimed to be a "real" wizard..)

/she was very nice, i felt sorry for her...
//the acid was very good.....

I keep forgetting Brad Renfro is dead.

 
SeamusFerrell 2009-09-19 03:54:37 AM  
If I was running things here this would be sent off to the Fark publicity tab which nobody looks at. Unless of course Fark and TSG have a deal which they no doubt do. In that case, the tag should be, "plug." Not that I dislike TSG links or anything, just let's be honest about the whole thing.

Now I am off to one of my own sites to berate people for posting in the wrong section and to berate my moderators for failing to move things. I will also be angry in general. You can find me at http://www.(not that stupid) although my sites have zero ads and it is all out of my pocket, it is all for fun, so I don't see how posting a link would be a problem.

Now here is a tip if you care about your greenlight submissions at Fark. Search news stories for, "Fark." Chances are it will be greenlit and be off to the publicity tab. Sure, nobody will see it, but if your submission count is important to you, this is a very easy way to increase it.

Evidently all of the master sleuths have passed out.

The reason he contest hasn't been farked in months is because this is the first one in months that wasn't a total bs crapshoot match game.

 
Thnake Eyes [TotalFark] 2009-09-19 04:14:07 AM  
Shocked it wasn't Sherri Martel. Alabama or Oklahoma they both look the same.

Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?

I submitted Jimi Hendrix without any research because It was the anniversary of his death..and since I knew nothing about the fact that he died in london in a hotel room in 1970 whereas the pickup beside that house is clearly an 80's ford, I was so wrong.

Since when is having an opinion "spamming?". Oh, right. When it's different from yours. Grow up, toddler.


I bet you were one of those farkholes who revealed the ending of Harry Potter books to children who were waiting in line to buy the new ones.
