Fanboys suck arsch. The worst I've encoutered
-fans the now-defunct webcomic by that guy who thought he invented pixel art and kept threatening to sue Penny Arcade who threatened to sue me for slander for saying that said "artist" didn't actually invent pixel art.
-all the people who switched from saying "Steve Irwin is a arschloch" to "Steve Irwin is really cool and anyone who says he's a arschloch is a arschloch" when Steve Irwin died.
-the idiots who claim that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince isn't canonical because it contains a few things that contradict the most widely read Harry Potter fanfics.
A site for British TV shows (mostly sicence fiction) has a few people who are able to find fault with everything... they go on and on about how crap certain shows or episodes are, but end with "I'm looking forward to next week though"... every single week!
in short, fanboys (and fangirls) suck.
Mel Gibson's remake of
The Life of Brian is nowhere near as funny as the original.
There are four autonomic responses, and they all start with F. Fright, fight, flight and making love. -Dr Karl
