I want to exploit this to troll hipsters, but they already "ironically" enjoy things that objectively suck. Like PBR, Creed, and Apple products.

Joke's on them. I do all my grooming via Flowbee.

What Farkers being groomed might look like.

This may explain why waffles always seems to be trending.

Looks like an ad.

So what are their FARK handles so we can mess with them favorite them?
 
2011-12-08 03:55:43 PM
TBH, this is probably the only grooming that most farkers get.

/brushing the cheetos dust off your beer gut doesn't count

Are we talking about a bevy of hot Swedish women bathing us and running their fingers through our hair or a disgruntled, heavy-set, middle-aged nurse dry-shaving our junk? Because only one of those is against our will.

Rickrolling the Mets and sending the Jersey Shore to Detroit are only the beginning...

If they are taking my talking points and using them to make money, is that not a violation of copyright?
 
2011-12-08 04:04:40 PM
Any can make a wordcloud of any site, and have an easy way to pick out "important" words or talking points. Example, here's a word cloud I just made of the Fark mainpage:

title="Wordle: FarkWordcloud12/8"> src="http://www.wordle.net/thumb/wrdl/4540944/FarkWordcloud12-8"
alt="Wordle: FarkWordcloud12/8"

By grooming you mean sponge baths, administered by several hot redheads. Right?

/please?

So, they can comb Fark and Google for catch phrases and keywords that came from talking points so that they can then come up with the talking points, catch phrases and keywords that will then be patrolled by their programs looking for catch phrases and keywords that came from talking points so that they can then come up with the talking points, catch phrases and keywords that will then be patrolled by their programs looking for catch phrases and keywords that came from talking points so that they can then come up with the talking points, catch phrases and keywords that will then be patrolled by their programs looking for...

Lazar brings a background well versed in online news and online video that make the program not only great for news discussion, but newsworthy in and of itself.

...away from those goddamn foul-mouthed trashy farkers with self-esteem issues. I HAVES NEWS!

Wait...how is she special then?

How is this different from every wacky morning DJ radio* show?

*for you kids, morning radio was something that was popular around the time that 45rpm records and Ecto Cooler were big.

Sadly, 40 year olds are getting paid to be obnoxious 14 year olds (with hangovers, or still high) on radio to piss off mothers and fathers even more. Just when you can kick kids out the door to school, they show back up on the airwaves.

So talking points of Glenn Beck and that hooker he killed and chopped up after farking her dead body?

/Sounds good enough to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 
2011-12-08 04:36:58 PM
I may have been on Fark before it became all trendy. Not paying attention most of the time, so I don't know when it happened.

Shira, where were YOU when this happened?

Congratulations, subby!

It's difficult to compose a true sentence that has the words "comb," "groomed" and "farker" in it.

"Against" might be a little strong. I mean, if I had my druthers, I know which one I'd pick, but, you know, any port in a storm.

Just saying.

My prediction of what will trend on "what's trending":

1) redheads
2) tony romo sucks
3) but not more than tim tebow
4) redheads
5) redheaded tebow photoshopped my penn state cat video
 
2011-12-08 05:08:38 PM
So we'll see 'farktards' in the trend? Cool.

Anyone have a screen cap of a Fark thread being used in a news broadcast? It was a long time ago.

Apparently several of the Republican presidential candidates are taking their herp-a-derp talking points from the Fark political tab.

I didn't think even hipsters liked Creed. Damn. That's some hardcore ironic self-flagellation.

I'm beginning to think several of the Republican candidates are some of our long-time trolls.

This was just some stealth marketing to get all us Farkers to talk about their shiatty little web series, wasn't it?
