FARK off

They can all go FARK themselves.

There are a lot of farking loons posting there.

One of the comments there:

It's an outrage. Seeing video of US soldiers blown up makes me want to vote for people who don't want me to see it.

*fingers in ears* LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALAAAAA

Absolutely pathetic.

I thought FARK was a humor site?

fark: for everyone who couldn't cut it at somethingawful

I enjoy the site, but never click on the comments for a political story. I stick with the Mother of the Year candidates and Darwin award nominees.

Like I give a fark...

Charles,

given your recent tweaks and upgrades, it seems that the hamsters are hardly breaking a sweat, even under a farkstorm.

So, as any environmentally-aware lizard would conclude: your server is now using too much electric power for the job... time to downgrade to something running on a 6502 at say, 1MHZ.

Apple ][ anyone ?

Nothing but the usual left wing claptrap going on over there.

re: #10 me

Apple ][ anyone ?

Only if you're talking Apple IIe

the truth is a biatch ain't it.

especially when you're on the losing side. Ha Ha

Am I the only one who gets the feeling that most of the commentors at Fark.com are still in high school?

Going to Kos and now Fark makes me appreciate how EASY it is to follow LGF posters comments. I find those sites to be a little confusing.

Just too much fun ...

Dear Fark readers,

I confess I do not visit your site and have little idea of what you stand for, but I do know the other kinds of people that hate, just hate littlegreenfootballs.

You are in company with jihadists, nazis, communists and other groups associated with religious, racial, or political world domination. Any time one finds oneself with similar dislikes and goals as those people, perhaps it is time to rethink your life.

In Christ's Love,
Silhouette

Our soldiers must be so relieved to have the people of FARK so concerned for their plight.

They are arguing that the American Media is in the tank for Bush and are supporting the war.

QUICK, somebody call their parents. I think somebody's basement is full of toxic mold.

re: #10 me

I loved my dear old Apple ][. I knew what every one of its 64 kilobytes was up to at all times. And I wrote my own machine language routines, without an assembler.

Who knows what the hell computers are doing any more? I have to ask for permission to turn mine off now.

FARK has really taken a turn to the Left dark side.
They used to have some sensible people posting there, a little more mainstream....middle of the road.

But they've all gone nuts lately!

I wonder if we could survive a front page post at Digg now?

I tend to limit my comments at Fark, unless they're doing something to Tom Cruise.

You're probably overestimation their educational level.

But them from what I've observed the general level of our educational system has sunk like the Titanic.

Did I read that wrong? I thought they were saying they agreed it was wrong to use that footage. Again, I am not the brightest bulb but...

I'm going to be sorry I asked this but what exactly does Fark stand for? (Other than a great new curse word.)

We grew up on the same stuff, I guess.

Fark Fools. Bush ad referencing 9/11 very bad. Democrat ads attempting to show American deaths very good. Huh?

re: #22 Charles

I wonder if we could survive a front page post at Digg now?

We will never, ever be subjected to that particular test. The number of diggers and their sockpuppets who autobury anything from LGF is in the high three figures, I'd estimate.

Because Fark is a wretched hive of juvenile (I'm being redundant here) teen and twentysomething leftists?

re: #19 Shug

They are arguing that the American Media is in the tank for Bush and are supporting the war.

If the MSM isn't reporting that Bush is personally killing asthmatic orphans, but is "only" reporting that "critics say" that there are one million dead Iraqi citizens, then by their world view, that is right-leaning propaganda.

re: #6 Dianna

Oh, they're funny - just not in a "ha ha" sort of way.

We must be careful.

Who cut the fark?

Nice. Looks like the desktop Apple's we used in high school, but in color.

re: #28 MellyMel

That was supposed to be dark, mocking sarcasm on their part.
(Forgetting that they themselves were fine with not seeing the torture, rape and mass graves of the Hussein regime, and would be fine letting Iraq slide into anarchy with the additional deaths that would ensue, if our military comes home too quickly.)

Unright 2008-04-29 01:56:24 PM "Sites like LGF & DailyKos get paid by their advertisers. So more pageviews = more money. Clicking on a LGF link is the same as giving them money."

So THAT's where our zionist checks are supposed to be coming from!

Funny, the only "advertisement" I see here is the Pajamas Media up top. Unless the Lounge has a cover charge now...

Idoits.

re: #22 Charles

Didn't lgf survive several already?

re: #35 Silhouette

A+++++

As a former member of Fark, let me say this:

While there are reasonable people on Fark, most of the commenters are somewhere to the left of the folks at Daily Kos. Total nutbags.

I parried for many moons with them, but got tired of it. Pearls before swine and all that....

Al Franken owes back taxes in 17 states!

re: #36 Diamond Bullet

The web is over-supplied with those.

Wow. I don't go to that site (except today), but I supposed it's my own damn fault for taking people at face value -- especially those who are completely nuts and still collect an allowance.

re: #46 rawmuse

Maybe he can room with Wesley Snipes.

re: #48 song_and_dance_man

He also owes back taxes to reason.

Nah, I think reason changed its address out of guilt by association.

This is actually false, by the way. I don't get paid on a per-click or pageview basis.

It's even in the FAQ!

Q. How does Charles finance the blog?
A. Out of his own pocket. Not to mention all the time and effort he spends that he could otherwise be using for his business. So c'mon, hit the tip jar:
Donate through Amazon Honor System.
Donate through Paypal.
Request LGF PO Box address to donate by check.
LGF has also recently added Blogads to the right sidebar, to help defray costs.

re: #54 Silhouette

Franken made enough to owe taxes?

You actually have to pay taxes on what you would take in by theft or fraud.

re: #6 Dianna

They are. I like the site and I think they're very funny but they aren't very politically savvy.

re: #43 boofar

Didn't lgf survive several already?

Only on weekends. Every time we hit the front page on a weekday, the server crashed almost immediately.

And then, of course, there's Drudge. We lasted about 10 seconds the last time he linked to us.

Oh, I just posted on the Tom Cruise did Cher thread.

re: #60 The Other Les

Oh right, I forgot the loot from the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program.

How do you think the new improved LGF will withstand the next Drudgealanche?

Unless they can define stupid as anyone who disagrees with them.

Thanks for pointing it out -- that section is actually out of date, and incorrect. I'm removing it for now until I can update it.

re: #63 The Other Les

I can think of nothing to say to that. I can't seem to process the thought, either of such a thing happening, or anyone having a thread on the subject.

But I feel that there should be something to say.

re: #66 Fat Jolly Penguin

I thought that was how they defined evil-racist-fascist-bitter.

re: #65 Killgore Trout

Probably still crash, but maybe not. Hard to tell, without it actually happening.

re: #64 Silhouette

I think that was a Boys and Girls Club; there's not much money in BB/BS, since they don't generally have a site.

The amazon honor system still works.
It was really weird though. I wasn't sure if the charge had taken until I saw it on my bank statement, kind of a long time after the transaction

re: #62 Charles

You need to buy a service from a hosting company :) .

re: #71 Charles

Hmmm, should we conspire a way to make that happen? Mwa ha ha

re: #52 Charles

Not on pageviews? -- I had always assumed that was the measurement. Advertising is linked in some way to readership though, surely?

Crazy "Internet." Crazy "computers." Just a fad.

("Sarah, this is the Sheriff. Get me Barney.")

10 seconds is good if you are a Bull Rider

Shit. Hillary is within 5 points of Obama in NC. We must re-examine her. She might be the nominee.

I'm off.

Take care, lizards!

Damn, I came across wrong both times.

I'm trying to point out that the person that the commenter from Fark is wrong, and it's just not coming out right.

Sorry, Charles.

When I say I find these comments appalling, I mean it. Ta Dah

re: #22 Charles

No idea Charles, and no offense intended but I just followed the link to the Hitler picture, and in future I do strongly suggest a leg waxing before you pose in a dress which calls attention to your gams.

I only know FARK as the site that used to compete with somethingawful.com in Pshop contests. Some of the guys at the SA forums were really creative with the photoshops, but the majority of the work I saw from FARK looked like it was done by a 4-yr old using Paint.

Apparently, the 4-yr olds now have political views too.

re: #78 pat

And Hillary has a better chance of defeating McCain. Unless... the DUmmies and KaosKids and the Rev. Wrong can keep up the outrage!

Seethe lads, seethe for all yer worth!

A 4 year old does have a political creed, which is strikingly similar to liberals.

Toddler's Creed

If I want it, it's mine.
If I give it to you and change my mind later, it's mine.
If I can take it away from you, it's mine.
If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
If it's mine, it will never belong to anybody else, no matter what.
If we are building something together, all the pieces are mine.
If it looks just like mine, it is mine.

re: #89 Cognito

Before you post anything stupid, and we know you will, I just want to get in with a pre-emptive "Fuck you".

There. Carry on...

Indeed. Thank goodness you pre-empted me from posting anything stupid.

and now for something completely different

I remember when Fark was good, heck I remember when they hit 1000 users.

Speaking of that bozoid Al Franken:

Stuart Smalley's Daily Affirmations for the Inner Pirate

Monday:
"I'm going to rape and pillage today just for the heck of it because, gosh darn it, I deserve to have a good time."

Tuesday:
"I am not a fraud, a thief yes, but not a fraud."

Wednesday:
"I deserve all the loot and booty I can carry without feeling ashamed or being grandiose."

Thursday:
"I will express my feelings today. I will not hide them behind my eyepatch. My eyepatch is not a mask for my feelings, but rather a small swatch of leather that covers a hideous scar."

Friday:
"When I overtake that merchants vessel, I will not be playing those parent tapes in my head: "You wield a cutlass like a girl" . . . "Why can't you be more like Blackbeard's son?" . . . "Philosophy? What kind of major is that? It's useless!"

Saturday:
"Just because I indulge in wine and wenches does not mean I'm an alcoholic sex-addict like my father."

Sunday:
"If I must violently put down a mutiny today, it is not because I am a bad person or that I am not worthy of love; it is because my crew are a bunch of yellow-bellied, lily-livered sons-of-whores--and I am mean enough, ruthless enough, and dog gone it, people fear me."

Damn, Cog, yer runnin' outta people ta piss of, pal. Tough playin' Stan's advocate ain't it?

:-D

Remind me to send a thank you note to Rev. Wright sometime. He has managed to be the albatross around Obama's neck. First he pissed off all the smart people, then he pissed off all the white folks, now Obama throwing him under the bus is going to piss off a lot of black folks. Overall, he has show what Obama truly is; a hack politician with little experience and a very leftest bent.

Same here. There was a pretty big lag, last time. Won't stop me from hitting the jar from time to time, but I was a little surprised. As long as it's working, I'm cool with it!

Let's go back further. I have a PDP-8e. No peripherals. I have to toggle programs in binary on the front panel.

re: #104 Shr_Nfr

Hey don't forget those fuzzy progressive white college kids. Obama just lost a whole shit-load of those today too.

Too bad he didn't pick up any middle of the road fence sitters along the way. Cautious folk shy away from controversies like this. I bet a good number of them made up their minds today to vote for Hillary.

Hey y'all, what did I miss today?

LGF: So "fascist" the fascists hate us!

(if you don't get it...see the Bill White threads)

Btw: isn't it a bit odd that they call LGF "Fascist" when we are hated by the actual fascists (Bill White), and it is the KOS/DU/HP/Lefist crowds that the actual fascists (David Duke) agree with and like?

Forget ideological whiplash....I'm getting fact whiplash.

Now back to work.

.

Speaking of whiplash, are all the Obamatons that defended Rev Wright and said he was right to hate America and justified in anti-white feelings going to stick with their views, or will they suddenly be "outraged" by the “appalling”, “ridiculous”, "divisive" and "destructive" "rants"? (quotes from BO today)

The liberal intolerance pervasive on Fark.com is why I canceled my TotalFark subscription. Everyday they become more-and-more a subsidiary of Kos.
