I think they are using the word Douche in more of "he's harmless but a dickhead" kind of way and less of a "he's a farking criminal or lying politician" kind of way.

And who the hell is Tucker Max?

/off to google.

rogue_L_chick: There should be a feminine douche list. There's a fountain of possibilities there.

Would we call them douces, or dick-towels?
 
2009-12-22 04:59:18 PM
Err... douches.

If Joe Francis were from NY, Gawker would worship him.

Tucker Max, also.

Firebug: Beck falls more under the "Racist/Fascist Psychopath" label than just a regular douche

Professional troll.

As I mentioned earlier in another thread, recall that Beck was once rather successful on CNN, the left-leaning foil to Fox's right-wing tendencies.

He's just tailoring to his audience/whatever will make his wallet fatter.

Same with Rush/Mann Coulter/etc

lukelightning: tamsnod27: Actually, 2010 is the start of a new decade. The 10's.

Well, this is assuming that the world doesn't end. My calendar clearly ends on Dec. 31, 2009, so I am assuming the sun will blow up.


Mine has January 2010 in a little box at the bottom...so a few of us will live one more month.
 
2009-12-22 05:10:17 PM
DaBishop: For those whos opinions differ from mine:

What year did the 70's start? Shouldn't it be 1970?


Yep. And I'm pretty sure the 70s didn't include 1980, just like the aughts don't include 2010.

Anybody who mentioned George W. Bush gets 1 (one) point on the next decades douche awards.

Seriously. A fun thread and you feel compelled to dump on it with expired politics. Go get an orange tan and put on your pink stretch shirt.

Steps in creating a backdoor political attack:

1. Make a list that pretends to name the worst X in the world

2. Pepper it with some popular people of the day for padding

3. Place people with political ideologies different from yours, and label them as well known X's



How is Carrie Prejean a douche? Someone asked her a question, and she answered it. Granted, she had no business going on tour and doing the rest of the things that resulted from that statement.

However, how is the guy that asked the question not a douche? Did he not inject politics into a beauty contest? Did he not ask a questions expecting an honest answer, and then get angry when an honest answer was given?

Some jackhole asked her an improper question, and she gave an honest, polite answer. For that, she is a douche? Sounds like someone is angry because she is hot.

Perez Hilton is very much a douche, and Fark is no fan of him either.

CarriePrejean: tuxedobob: One of their pages says they took Carrie Prejean off the list. Wasn't she the Miss USA contestant who thinks she lost after honestly answering a question about her personal beliefs in a non-offensive way? Why would she have been on it to begin with?

I am just trying to follow the path that our Lord has set out for me!


Well sure--Jesus invented the technology for big fake boobies and allowed the whole world to look upon your beauty, even though you said the pictures didn't exist.

The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

LSUMJ: "It's hysterical how Tucker Max basically flamed out his entire career with that atrocious, narcissistic turd of a movie"

had to look up the box office on imdb
Gross
$1,425,993 (USA) (8 November 2009)
$1,401,718 (USA) (25 October 2009)
$1,357,585 (USA) (18 October 2009)
$1,181,695 (USA) (11 October 2009)
$846,103 (USA) (4 October 2009)
$366,909 (USA) (27 September 2009)


google shows its budget was around $7 million

hilarious


"But his stories are lyke hilarious and stuff bro!!!! Tucker's cool and stuff cuz he has like high self esteem n stuff."

You'd have to be 7 layers of stupid to believe one word that comes out of that vile shiatbag's mouth; 10 layers if you actually enjoy his stories. Opie and Anthony tore him a new asshole when he tried peddling some bullshiat analsex yarn:

I recognize what a douchebag Joe Francis is, but for me, it has to be the 26 minutes gym guy. And Nick Denton should have been nominated, come on!

Wow, I seem to have wandered into the "torches and pitchforks" section at Wal-Mart :)

Contrabulous Flabtraption: You sound like a Douche of the Decade

Because I made a post you didn't like?

pureobscure: You're creative and original and need to head over to the 'politics' tab.

Sadly, I spent way too much time there.

forkandspoon2008: You sound democrat.

Democrats aren't liberal enough for me.

Terryg999: My vote goes to you for still believing that "hundreds of thousands" of Iraqis have been killed.

Yup, I still believe what experts say rather than right-wing pundits. I'm just silly that way.

"This movie, if we had sold it to [FOX] Searchlight, they would've put Seth Rogen and Dane Cook in it, and they would've cut all the f*cking balls out of the jokes, and they would've brought in some sh*t bird to rewrite the script who would've had Tucker have a girlfriend and this and that, and then it's like they own everything, they may have fired me... I would've stabbed somebody if they had done that. They would've fired me off the movie because they own it - I don't own sh*t anymore, but then I'm the one who has to live with all their creative decisions."- Tucker Max

Jesus Christ I've never read more hot air coming from a comment section than the Gawker blog. It's like they're getting paid by the word.

Never has so much been said about so little. Vapid douches complaining about who's the biggest douche-bag of them all.

Hell, at least Assholes have a cynicism ground in reality. People suck, and I hate people. So there.

The moment you start writing books on how someone is disrespectful to women, has no dignity, blah blah blah...

Is the moment my OH GOD SHUT THE fark UP and get back in the kitchen alert goes off. farking English majors.

Well regardless of his current failure and regardless of douche-level, he was a best-selling author for years.

I don't think he's any more douche-y than the average fratboy.
I guess people are mad that he thought of exploiting college sluts for easy money before they did. I know I am. There's a "do nothing" job if I ever saw it.

Actually, 2010 is the start of a new decade. The 10's.

Actually, it is a base 10 numbering system. Ten caps off the ones and makes it the final year of the ones.


From Wikipedia

aughts pl.

1. A decade such as that from 1900 to 1909 A.D., or 2000 to 2009, whose digit in the tens place is zero.

He sells bullshiat to sick people and tells them that the entire government and medical establishment engage in a giant conspiracy to hide the real cures for their illnesses. He's been fined millions of dollars repeatedly by the FCC and on he goes.
