Can't argue with that!

We also have stories about farmers humping pumpkins.

Cougars and old men fighting to the death! Constant notices about the condition of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez! It's like a koala bear crapped a rainbow of news in my brain!

Who did what now?

That was one unreadable article.

I can guess what we'd be saying about him here...

Notice that he didn't ask if this one would be worthy of a Fark post.

see everyone, you can be published in a news publication without any training if you try hard enough. He's like a newspaper Rudy.

I did at one point, except for the drunken part. 4 cents a word. I wrote a column for my university student newspaper. No editing, frequent typos and layout errors, somewhat lax grammar and very little relevence. Best thing in that sorry rag. It's not that my column was so great, but that every thing else sucked like a black hole.

 
PlumsDeify 2003-12-14 05:39:26 PM  
I'm not sure what that article was about.

Anywho, it's my turn to ramble.
I once had a white trash neighbor that said the Post Office could fine you for not having your sidewalk shoveled for the mail carrier.

"If I rage over the ridiculousness of not being able to roller blade on the sidewalk or the street, what will they say about me on Fark.com?"

Either "Your dog wants rollerblader" or "Hilarity ensues" would be my guess.

Um...lets do some basic addition here:

Old woman + lazy culture = Granny sitting on her ass.

Young news-writers + anti-government clause = Granny "Protesting"

Fark.com + Granny "Protesting" + Idiot who can't write an article if it hit him in the face = ???

/nothin'
//Idiot who can't write a comment
///lazy young shiathead

The reason he can't rollerblade down the sidewalk is that nothing looks sadder than a middle-aged guy rollerblading down the sidewalk

Nothing! Absolutely nothing!

Stupid!! You're so STUPID!!!

I am willing to bet that this will be the same lady that will biatch up a storm when she has to go to the post office to pick her mail because the mailman refuses to walk up her unshoveled walkway. So, more power to you chiquita, just lets not see another "stupid lawsuit" story.

 
the_goodVSbad 2003-12-14 05:50:16 PM  
pffft. the whole Sun chain of papers is pure trash directed at the lowest common denominator.

NO POOFTERS!!!

The Edmonton Sun is the redneck newspaper here. Steve Tilly is an annoying asshat.

fark.com is popular?? whaT?

To all of you who donated to my legal fund the last time I was involved in a situation like this, I would like to give a big shout out. Thanks.

I live in Edmonton and the media cricus around her case was crazy.

But it was on Fark...

 
gonekicking 2003-12-14 06:27:25 PM  
This is just a lame attempt to get hits by mentionning FARK.com in his lame article. Just like people using fake keywords to attract downloads on P2P. Submitter was probably related to this Steve Tilly guy.

Attention HO!

 
d'art 2003-12-14 06:29:47 PM  
Fark.com? what's that aboot, eh?

batmn42 2003-12-14 06:49:05 PM  
Wow I thought the headline was a joke, but he really did say "Fark.com" in the article.

Wow, that's tacky.

 
batmn42 2003-12-14 06:52:38 PM  
Wait, I got one more:

I am also no fan of the Man. I generally manage to skate well below the Man's radar.

Yeah, a column in the Winnepeg Sun Online. That's way, way, waaaaaaaaay below the Man's radar.

 
SimuLord 2003-12-14 07:24:46 PM  
The guy's shameless attempt to get mentioned on Fark has been vindicated. He dangled the bait, the admins chomped it.

Laugh all you want, Mr. Winnipeg Redneck Person. I'm going to go read something worthwhile...like Dave Barry.

Maybe he meant he rollerblades below the radar on the sidewalks??

I thought it was an amusing article - better than most drivel we see everyday.

 
hoopycat 2003-12-14 07:44:41 PM  
I'm not sure exactly what transpired in the original non-shovelling situation, but one of the really awesome things about where I live is that the sidewalks get plowed by the city.

Sure, it's paid for as part of property taxes (and it's seperated out as a specific service, so it's not deductable from income taxes), but it's nice to just kinda sit on my ass as snow falls and know that it's the city's problem.

 
JPN 2003-12-14 07:48:03 PM  
haha. that's a sweet biatchslap.

 
Mikey_B 2003-12-14 07:51:47 PM  
We don't get The Sun in the mail so I don't read it that often, but when I do it's because my grandpa takes the copy that belongs to either McDonalds or Burgerking...yes that's right he takes the copy of the paper that belongs to fast food joints, and napkins :)

rogersgoer 2003-12-14 08:37:40 PM  
That's the least professionally written bit of journalism I've seen in a major paper since a _Columbus Dispatch_ editorial this summer emphasized a point by following it up with, "Duh!"

That's not counting everything in Chicago's _Red Streak_ and _Red Eye_, of course, which is all written in that style.

 
ruta [recently expired TotalFark] 2003-12-14 08:46:03 PM  
Although the article is kind of a mess, I agreed with his point. When that whole media storm was going on around Olga I thought two things:

1) why is this on the news? (and I was getting this story in CALGARY while it was taking place in Edmonton).

2) Shovel your bloody sidewalk, biatch, and quitchyer whinin', especially because your defense is so immensely stupid.

She got warnings. She didn't even bother to put down sand or salt after she got the warnings. As a pedestrian who regularly has to navigate icy stretches in front of the homes of lazy asshats like her, I would be the first to put a flaming bag of dog poo on her front step and then narc on her to the bylaw officer.

I've been told that sheep have the most humanlike vaginas besides humans. I didn't ask if they knew from experience.

 
RedHed 2003-12-14 09:38:56 PM

That has to be one of the most disturbing observations I've heard. I'd stay away from someone who lets that drop in casual converstation.
