Ferris Bueller's Day Off is SERIOUS BUSINESS
Very small, but it's been growing for a few days.

Okay, so a post is made in stupid_free, about a girl who lost a library book and decided she didn't need to pay her fine. But that's not what this is about.

Everything starts out when i_found_jesu posts a macro from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Not recognizing the source, only the face, I comment, asking if that's Matthew Broderick. i_found_jesu replies, "BUELLER...BUELLER...", which leads me to remark that both Ferris Bueller and Matthew Broderick make me want to punch them in the face.

We get in your general "no! how can you not like Ferris!"-type posts, and I explain that Ferris rubs me the wrong way and I consider him a douchebag.

And then, in from left field comes mazzie, wielding the Great Question: "are you 12?"

A dialogue ensues, in which I explain my reasoning for not liking Ferris Bueller and realizing that, oh hay, maybe my dislike of Matthew Broderick stems from my dislike of Ferris! This ends with mazzie going "hence my wondering about your age."

I... am not following, here, but okay!

The next morning, completely out of right field, comes grlathena! She has this to say: "bb, you missed the point of that movie several times over.

Also, "what does my age have to do with it" is probably the second weakest argument on the intertubes, in case you were wondering"

Another dialogue ensues, in which I am accused of reading comprehension fail and I counter with, "And here I thought this was stupid_free, not differing_opinions_on_movies_free."

After some further dialogue, I give up, realizing that there's probably a reason why people like mazzie and grlathena are fans of douchebags like Ferris Bueller.

But it isn't over yet!

lovediamond moves in, pointing out that grlathena is basically acting like a condescending twat. Grlathena continues with her "bb"s and her passive-aggressive "oh i am lolling so hard at you," while lovediamond tries to point out the hypocrisy.

Meanwhile, sawaboof, who, in the interest of full disclosure, is an RL friend of mine from several years back, arrives to comment "And I guess that would make the weakest argument: "are you 12?". Grlathena is not going to let this slide! She has to prove how amusing she finds all those of us who are getting riled up over this!

And all this over a single opinion: "Ferris Bueller is a douchebag."

What. The. Fuck.
