It ended up on some weird Web site, www.fark.com, that apparently has a fairly widespread audience: According to the little counter next to my link, around 35,000 people checked it out.

Most people were probably looking for naked pics of her

"Apparently has a" no not apparent OBVIOUS
 
2003-01-27 12:29:51 PM
Maybe Jay Leno would like to interview Drew on his show sometime.
 
2003-01-27 12:31:05 PM
who's she calling weird?
 
2003-01-27 12:31:06 PM
Fark is 'weird'?

Gee, perhaps I really should get out more.
 
2003-01-27 12:31:34 PM
she called us weird. cool.
 
Pen
2003-01-27 12:32:16 PM
Subigo: then why post?

I think this is pretty cool. Before too long, someone out there will understand that Farkers are a force to be harnessed.

Talk about throwing down the gaunlet:

So this pisses you off, right? You're going to go off and do great things, aren't you? Well I'd suggest you e-mail me and tell me so. In fact, I'm begging you to. Because it pisses me off, too.

And if I get 179 emails this week, it means I won't have already peaked either.

Kelly Roe is a McCormick senior. She can be reached at k-r­oe­[nospam-﹫-backwards]n­rets­ewh­tron­*edu
 
2003-01-27 12:32:22 PM
i think i just peaked in my pants.
 
2003-01-27 12:32:33 PM
yeah let's start a petition or something to get Drew on the tonight show
 
2003-01-27 12:32:51 PM
well i guess this prooves that the writers over at the tonight show take ideas from us
 
2003-01-27 12:33:04 PM
Im almost positive the leno staff uses fark, listen to any monoluge of his and 9/10 he mentions something that was on fark fairly recently
 
2003-01-27 12:33:06 PM
Leno's staff and radio stations calling her.

FARK, and endless source of Material.
 
2003-01-27 12:33:16 PM
She needs to rename the article"Holy shiat someone else read my article, other than dad.", or maybe "Thanks to nerd based Fark, I am no longer a loser!".
 
2003-01-27 12:33:26 PM
aahhh, the power of fark:

Admittedly, my public consists mainly of dirty old men who send creepy e-mails
 
2003-01-27 12:33:43 PM
If we can just touch one life and make it a little better, it's all worth it.
 
2003-01-27 12:33:57 PM
You mean we're partially responsible for how bad the Tonight Show writing is?

Jesus.

Almost enough to make me swear off Farking for good.
 
2003-01-27 12:34:44 PM
Not sure I understand the whole pissed off thing. Probably just wants to get a lot of email and hits so she can get a raise. Woot!
 
2003-01-27 12:35:33 PM
The highlight of my journalistic career was a mere 15 minutes of quasi-fame as a delusional cat lady.

LOL!!

that ALMOST makes up for the rest of her article being a mindless, meandering string of english words.
 
2003-01-27 12:36:11 PM
If we can touch one life, twist it, punch it around a bit, disturb it and turn it into something resembling An American Psycho, it's all worth it.

But I bet it won't change it's opinions.
 
2003-01-27 12:36:26 PM
So now it's obvious where these shows get their news from... how come Fark never gets credited?
 
2003-01-27 12:37:09 PM
Sadly, most of these people thought I was some fat, undersexed cat lover who truly believed in a world of abstinence. As soon as they found out I hate cats and know that people who are in love and married have polite sex on rare occasions, they lost interest.

Am I the only one who noticed that she didn't deny being fat? Am I an asshole for doing so?
 
2003-01-27 12:37:27 PM
Andy Warhol would have loved Fark
 
2003-01-27 12:37:34 PM
Coming Soon: new fark account for "CatLadyScreamer"
 
2003-01-27 12:37:40 PM
I also took both Day- and NyQuil before sitting down to write this puppy
Apparantly, we've turned her into a drug addict who produces canines by writing nonsense.
 
2003-01-27 12:37:41 PM
Could someone post the original link? Thanks!
 
2003-01-27 12:38:45 PM
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno called to see if I'd come out and talk to Jay

Thus reaffirming my theory that Jay Leno reads and steals from fark.

Haahahahahaha! Nice one Bruce Dickinson. Incidentally, you rule.
 
2003-01-27 12:39:22 PM
You just KNOW she's already signed up for Fark, based on those comments.

If she had any grapes she'd post here in this thread.
 
2003-01-27 12:39:32 PM
PEAKED!? Hell my life is going so fast I just went through a mid-life crisis.
 
2003-01-27 12:39:52 PM
Nelno,

She also chose to avoid discussing whether she's undersexed or not.

Can I join the asshole club now??

Hmmm--Fark posts current events; Leno talks about current events--> Leno takes from Fark

Or, perhaps great minds think alike. I mean, when was the last time you heard Leno use the word "asshat"? or make a domokun reference? or show pics of Page 3 girls?
 
2003-01-27 12:41:20 PM
Wait a minute. She wrote an article? I thought I was responding to the "Hot or Not" website.
 
2003-01-27 12:41:40 PM
I think this woman's problem is that she didn't drink ENOUGH Dayquil and Nyquil. THEN she'd find those lovely peaks. And those horrible, horrible valleys.
 
2003-01-27 12:41:54 PM
Well, I've got to say, after reading both articles, she is much better than Dave Barry. He sucks. This chick is at least readable.
 
2003-01-27 12:43:44 PM
Ironbar - Too true. I caught Leno's opening monologue a few days ago and ther was only one item that hadn't appeared on Fark in the few days prior to the show. Maybe Drew can bill him for research.
 
2003-01-27 12:44:00 PM
Many many many shows rip off fark.

I have seen "farkisms" on many shows to where they didn't get what they were saying but absolutly unique to fark.

Jay Leno, TV news, CNN, Fox News, and national radio personalities have all ripped off fark at one time or another.

I don't even think fark admins realize how much of an effect fark has on the "weird news" section of the media.
 
2003-01-27 12:44:08 PM
"I also took both Day- and NyQuil before sitting down to write this puppy..."

mE ToO! *
 
2003-01-27 12:45:48 PM
Jay Leno probably doesn't read fark, but Jay Leno has staff writers that probably do. (maybe even his head staff writer)
 
2003-01-27 12:45:56 PM
'people who are in love and married have polite sex ...

'Would kind sir care for some primate coupling...'

'who is your pater, who is your pater?'
 
2003-01-27 12:46:35 PM
I say good job people. It won't be long before her life is ruined, and she runs out of NyQuil.
 
2003-01-27 12:49:08 PM
People still watch television? Jay Leno is still around?
 
2003-01-27 12:49:21 PM
Wait, I am weird, i do not mind admitting it.

Leno=still sucks
 
2003-01-27 12:49:58 PM
"Darling - I'm just heading upstairs, do you fancy bumping uglies for a few minutes? I do have balls like watermelons."

"Oh I'm sorry darling - of course I will - I didn't realise we'd left it so long!"

"Who is the unquestioned head of the household and your immediate and only employer?
Who is the unquestioned head of the household and your immediate and only employer?"

"Oo that's great! Thanks darling - one moment - oh - yipee! I've just come."

*curtain*
 
2003-01-27 12:50:35 PM
Jay Leno, TV news, CNN, Fox News, and national radio personalities have all ripped off fark at one time or another.

It is rare indeed to find something on FARK that isn't on CNN. Or Fox, or MSNBC, or (fill in the blank)

We all plagerize from someone. Many "headlines" in fark are verbatum from the other news source. Maybe we should pay royalties, too?
 
2003-01-27 12:50:40 PM
She is calling fark weird? At least we are not all crying out in the middle of the night in her apartment building. Well not all of us anyways..... Her dad must be a case too if he thought her article was in any means of porn quality... She wrote this article as if she had just lost her virginity and now regrets it. But it bought her another 15 minutes of shameful fame on Fark.. lol
 
2003-01-27 12:50:50 PM
She "apparently" had trouble figuring out how to read the comments section.
 
2003-01-27 12:52:03 PM
If this shiat keeps up Drew will be singing the National Anthem at next years Super Bowl.

Hey, at least he is an American. Off topic, but what was up with that Canadian Mr. Ed Clone singing God Bless America yesterday? The only good thing was the camera shot of some dude giving her the finger. Lasted for about two seconds if you missed it.
 
2003-01-27 12:52:06 PM
Up next next for Kelly Roe; Going on Oprah crying and selling her story.
Yawn!
 
2003-01-27 12:52:40 PM
~ Admittedly, my public consists mainly of dirty old men who send creepy e-mails, but still, fans are fans. ~

Yep. That's FRAK alright! Ask not what you can do for FARK, ask what FARK can do for you!
