All we know is that Leno is doing the same current events shtick Carson did--albeit with different stylings--and Carson was making fun of current events when Drew was still suckling on his mother's teat.

My local "clear as mud channel" station's "wacky news stories" part of the mourning show is just a re read of the previous days fark posts...of course no menttion of fark

Can I just say that, if she's gonna let her Dad dictate the content of her column, then she's a farking pussy and a sell out. YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THE MAN! YOU WRITE WHAT THE FARK'S IN YOUR HEAD!

If I'd let my parents dictate what I was gonna write and share with the world, I'd have stopped writing many years ago. I'm being heckled by my Mum for being blasphemous in my latest attempt at a novel, but it ain't stopping me!

And Kelly, if you're reading this? Please don't think that article is your peak! You're still only a kid and you're giving up FAR too soon. Aspire for more!

She's just a girl with one ovary trying to make her way in this crazy mixed up world.

-The above is me trying to write something terribly lame, just to see if Leno's people bite. I'll be famous, woohoo.
 
2003-01-27 01:43:53 PM
Leno's people bite all right.
 
2003-01-27 01:45:06 PM
Not a very scientific test then, I guess.

Fark.com - Use Your Powers for Good.


You gotta love the "When they found out I wasn't a freak, they lost interest."

hmmm... so did I.

Once again, much better than Dave Barry.

Actually, it made me think of an Uncle Bonsai tune: Johnny, It's Downhill from Here

You listen to Uncle Bonsai? Heck, you even know who Uncle Bonsai is?! You rock!

"Admittedly, my public consists mainly of dirty old men who send creepy e-mails, but still, fans are fans."

Ah, Fark - the web site of opportunity, where 14-year old boys who masturbate to 100 x 100 pixel images of SbB girls can masquerade as dirty old men!.
 
2003-01-27 01:54:28 PM
Damn! You're all on to me! You figured out I'm really Jay Leno! I shouldn't have used the handle "Psycho-Jay" but it's the only thing that came to my mind when I filled out my membership form(I'm dyslexic, don't you know?)!

AND STOP SAYING CONAN IS BETTER THAN ME! AT LEAST I HAVE THE BIG FAT ITALIAN BALLS TO USE REGULAR PEOPLE OFF THE STREET AND FROM THE AUDIENCE! EVERYTIME O'BRIAN DOSE THAT IT'S ALWAYS SOME UNDERPAID ACTOR!

Speaking of stealing material. The host of a show I was wathching used "hilarity ensues" I thought that was a FARK trademark?

I won't mention the show, let's just say I have a thing for Daisy Fuentes and leave it at that.

Jeff - Ah, "difficult to whatever" is old and busted. But I have to tell you, turning "I'd hit it" into "this is my Boobies" would be comedy gold, hours of non-stop new hotness entertainment. I'll be waiting on the edge of my seat for that new Strongbad email, by the way. ;)
 
2003-01-27 02:04:04 PM
One day while listening to the University radio station, the weird news section was straight off of Fark. I think all 6 out of the 6 mentioned were directly taken from here.

But shiat if I had a show I'd rip news off Fark too.
 
2003-01-27 02:05:58 PM
Hey you farkers saying Leno rips off Fark, here is something I noticed:

I used to play trivia at Friday's on Friday, when NTN had the 'Abused News' game. Fellow farkers and I were consistantly doing very well, week after week. We couldn't figure it out for a while. Then it hit us; lots, if not all of the questions, were addressed on Fark.

Now, the question remains; did NTN get those questions from Fark, or was it just a coincedence?
 
2003-01-27 02:08:01 PM
Her 15 minutes are up. Buh Bye!
 
2003-01-27 02:10:06 PM
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the "Daily Show" yet. I'm certain they get stuff from Fark. Yes i'm sure a lot of the times it's just coincidence they do the same jokes Fark does but on plenty of occasions I've seen completely bizarre, obscure news on that show that I haven't seen anywhere else but Fark, not in any newspapers, magazines, news shows, nothing, and I'm a news junkie. Not only that but they use the same jokes that show up in the thread. Deffinitely too much to be coincidence.

She will most likely put this in her resume. "Story viewed by 35,000 = cult following" or "I speak to the nerd in us all" And in response to people who hate your school. No one likes the school they go to. period. They all suck with the possible exception of online schools. They rock and the degree is so creditable.
 
2003-01-27 02:13:45 PM
"dirty old men who send creepy e-mails"

She had me at "dirty".
 
2003-01-27 02:14:25 PM
you're = your
 
2003-01-27 02:15:26 PM
Maybe thats because no one watches the daily show??? and as far as no good music ever comming to chicago, Chicago has one of the best local music scenes if you cant find a show your just not trying
 
2003-01-27 02:16:17 PM
Possible new tag line: "If it's not on Fark, it didn't happen"

I sure hope 35,000 people read my comment! Wow I like totally can't think of anything to say cuz like ya know?

TypoFlyspray and Jaker X: Uncle Bonsai is the BEST!
Maybe she is just a Lonely Grain of Corn. (Better than a Day old Whale!

Leave Northwestern alone. The Big 10 would have an average grade of F without them.
 
2003-01-27 02:23:24 PM
I emailed her - I hope she mentions me in her next article. Or I hope she takes my advise and includes some nudie pictures next time!
 
2003-01-27 02:28:02 PM
What really bothers me about this chick is that she's still in college and has such a shiatty outlook on life. Rejoice in the fact that people are having sex and having fun and embrace your own desires for the same. They're a little loud, so what. I'd take that as a challenge and try my damnest to best them, even if I was by myself. It's life, live it. It's sex, have it and more than once a decade. Live, breath, eat, sleep, fark, bang the night away.

Usually, the only people I know who are bothered by such noises are OLD folks, likem y neighbor downstairs who complained to me about one of my escapades, before her husband interrupted and scolded her(that was cool). She also complains about the ice cream man blasting his theme song for too long and calls the cops on him. Imagine calling the cops on the ice cream man.

so to this girl who write in the paper, Ms. Roe, loosen up, live and be. It's not too late to have a good time.
 
2003-01-27 02:39:22 PM
i dont know weither to feel sorry for her or be angry that shes begging for attention.
 
2003-01-27 02:42:09 PM
Yes, but the question I have and the question on many people minds i'm sure is, is she hot?
 
2003-01-27 02:45:18 PM
thischick need to lighten up. seriously, i have trouble believing the part about her not being undersexed when her only explaination is that she KNOWS people who have sex ON RARE OCCASIONS. I'd agree with her that she's already peaked, but it doesn't sound like she's even done that.
 
2003-01-27 02:50:31 PM
world domination next
 
2003-01-27 02:56:21 PM
I can honestly say I don't get it. I didn't see the original article, and apparently you need to be on cold medicine to understand this one.

Yeah baby...you should have peaked at your neighbors screwing, instead you peaked on the internet where 15 minutes is condensed into 5 seconds.
 
2003-01-27 02:57:01 PM
Hogans, laughing myself silly at your comments. Hilarious, sir.

I do in fact see this as a gauntlet, and I will be spamming her e-mail address with many messages, and I suggest you all do the same.
 
2003-01-27 02:57:08 PM
Damn. Leno must be real desperate for guests.
 
2003-01-27 03:09:27 PM
peeked...peaked...

Fuggit, I got nothin. *goes back to bed*
 
2003-01-27 03:10:13 PM
"Sadly, most of these people thought I was some fat, undersexed cat lover "

She lied about the cats, that biatch!
 
2003-01-27 03:13:18 PM
Farkers HIT IT some 35,000 times!!!! well, the website anyway........
 
2003-01-27 03:14:12 PM
She'd hit me. Repeated. And talk dirty to me, like "Stupid dirty liberal hippie." Got to love that trash talk.
 
2003-01-27 03:14:54 PM
He called Fark weird, that bastard. We're strange not weird
 
2003-01-27 03:16:47 PM
From her - I'm an incoherent conservative

And it's not just you, either, my fellow Wildcats, dominant though the purple liberal is.

Here I was under the impression that NW was a fairly respectable journalism university.

This woman first needs to write in English and then needs to worry about whether or not her 15 minutes are up.
 
2003-01-27 03:16:50 PM
As a married person, I would like to object to her stereotype of "polite sex". This simply, should not be true.
It isn't for me, and it isn't polite for my neighbors.
 
2003-01-27 03:17:01 PM
Another thing...speaking of fark getting some mention, ever watch Conan O'brian, half the stories he talks about in his dialog are posted on Fark. Maybe he's taking news stories from us and owes Drew royalties!

...or not
 
2003-01-27 03:20:24 PM
Maybe the whole suggestion that Conan or Jay Leno or anyone gets stories from Fark is ridiculous! Many news outlets exist in this brave new cybertron world! Could it be that more than one of them are reporting a story at once?????? Could it?????? I think so, Jethro!
 
2003-01-27 03:21:14 PM
Congratulations Farkers, this followup thread is now longer than the orignial it is referencing.
 
2003-01-27 03:29:38 PM

29th place!!!!
 
2003-01-27 03:31:03 PM
While Leno does revolve his stand up around some of the same stories, I find the jokes that Farkers come up with much more entertaining.

ALSO. SNL Weekend Update; on more than one occasion I have noticed a joke revolving around a story, that someone in a thread here has told days prior. And I'm not talking obvious jokes.


I found out from a comedian friend that you can send in jokes to SNL W.U. and they'll pay you for them. Someone is turning FARK into their own little comedy factory. Too bad I didn't think of it first.
 
2003-01-27 03:33:06 PM
I couldn't be bothered to send her an email.

So i went one better and sent her an email from her own account thanks to UNPROTECTED SMTP!
 
2003-01-27 03:36:27 PM
I have no idea what his post was about, but I'll throw in some general advice.

Drop CS, get a good major. Physics/Math 0wnz j00!

<devilsadvocate>

To everyone who claims that [COMIC PERSONALITY] or [COMIC-THEMED PROGRAM] is ripping off Fark: You know, there are other sources of weird news besides Fark, right? Ever think that maybe Fark is ripping those other sources off?

</devilsadvocate>
 
2003-01-27 03:43:12 PM
Whoa, unprotected smtp, that's some risky business there man, I hear you can viruses from that.
