Entry tags:the mods hate otf so much, urge to kill rising, useless facts

News: Man tells pregnant women she is useless to him and is tempted to dismiss her because she's pregnant. Fark: Idiot writes, "Boss tells his senior sales executive that she's "useless" to him because of pregancy. She gets all emotional and litigious, because, well, you know what pregnant women are like" OTF_wank: People write their comments about wimmins (and their place) , preggo, op's spelling skills (or lack thereof), and etc.

ETA: No one found my entry funny, so in an attempt to placate the masses, I present you with an older Cat's and Racks Post (with minor wank).

Also, I will be adding "Never decide what's funny after drinking apricot brandy" on my list of New Years Resolutions.

Is this crossing the wank streams when we start doing writeups on fark "writeups"?

And is there a direct linky to the fark header in question? I'm lazy and don't feel like wading through fark right now.

IIRC, they had the best results with the shotgun and reasoned that it's the shock wave of the ammo that kills the fish, not actually shooting them (which apparently his harder than it looks because the same shock wave that kills them, knocks them away from the projectile, making a clean hit harder)

If you want to avoid feelings of rage

If you decide to put that in your wank report, you should just delete the entire thing.

HELPFUL HINT: When people complain about deletion, they often don't actually care about the wank itself, they only care that you've deleted what you originally said in the hopes that we will forget or possibly never know what that was.

In other words, deleting to placate the masses never actually placates the masses. If you want to ETA with an apology or whatever, that's fine, just don't get rid of everything else in the post, okay?

Well, it's no horsefucker, but if we're looking for lulz on Fark, nothing will ever beat the epic hilarity of this thread. Best comment that sums up the whole deal: I like how this thread started with bigz2k saying "without going into too much detail" and ended up with him posting a picture of his scrotum on the internet.

That one was great. There was another one around the same time, IIRC, where a lady saw her best friend having sex with her own son... comedy gold. But I'm warped.

I find it rather amusing that the idiots arguing that a sexually active woman is irresponsible fail to recognize that, by their own definition, responsible woman = no sex for them.

This looks like the usual Fark snarkiness. They've got sarcasm down to something of an art form. You can't take a thing they say seriously. You can tell a threads gone serious when they start actually sounding reasonable and using earth logic.

In other news, I love Fark, especially the photoshop contests.

So they don't actually mean things like this?

His comments are true. She won’t be able to properly perform her job, she's pregnant and large, f’ed up hormones, coaching sessions, and a reduction in hours worked so not to “stress” the baby. After the child is born she’ll ask for a good 4-8 weeks off at least to "bond" with the child. That's just the start, then you have prego calling in because the child was sick, he looked pale, had a cold, and coughed. These are all emergencies and prego will run from the office to the doctor and find out everything is fine. If you want to have a child then go home and stay put until you’re ready to perform your job.

The last sentence does sound the tiniest bit tongue in cheek, but I've seen much worse on the interwebs, so I can't tell.

Fark is full of asshats and blowhards -- but this is par for the course -- pick any post and you'll find similar asshattery. You should have seen the post about teen driving and cell phones, where half the people responding were saying "yea, dead teenagers!"
