Post by: rodtod on February 18, 2003, 11:47:47 AM: I agree Sean. though I'm not sure if it was the Something Awful people who were insulting Billy, Mike (Gabe) and Jerry (Tycho) or if it was sent in by a reader. Either way, it's totally messed.

Even if it wasn't the three most popular gamers on the planet (with the exception of Shiggy) in that picture, I'd still be offended

what in the hell is that site anyway? Somebody has anger issues
Do they even know who the people in the pictures they make fun of are? And they are totally ripping off Louie's writing. Isn't that stuff copyrighted? This seems like copyright infringement. TIME TO SUE, YEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by: RickPowers on February 21, 2003, 09:30:32 AM: He has an X-box. The game was free. The game is LOUSY, so they thought taking pictures of them holding a lousy Xbox game would be FUNNY.

Post by: Sean on February 26, 2003, 01:11:49 PM: Mike is greater than God? I'm confused. I thought he was a Staff Writer. *drum hit*

Just kiddin', Mike. But really, God has some pretty big shoes, you know?

Post by: Jonnyboy117 on March 07, 2003, 05:17:34 AM: Some of you are missing the point of Something Awful. That particular column is all about finding awful pictures of random people on the Internet and making fun of the people. The joke is that Cliff Yablonski (or in this special case, Jeff K) doesn't know any of them, so he's judging them entirely on physical appearance. He's incredibly, intentionally shallow, and that's the source of humor. I can understand if it's not your cup of tea, but I wanted to try to explain why some people think it's quite funny. There is a very thick layer of sarcasm on pretty much everything Something Awful does.
