Self-link, it seems March 25, 2005 8:38 AM Subscribe
It seems like (if in fact self-link) that he may have been planning this all along. He registered on the 17th. Granted he could have posted this yesterday, but Friday probably is the day that more people are probably checking in.

How much is 5000 worth in ad revenue though, a couple dimes? Unless this is something that they do in their spare time and they enjoy getting a hundred hits a day, this site will be closed within a few months. That is unless they start posting porn on the site like College Humor.
I can guarantee that we'll see more of these types of posts as we have over the last couple months. We just had one last week for truffles.

ah. so Jason Ritledge abuses our tolerance and breaks the rules just to get more hits? that makes Jason Ritledge a bit of an arsehole doesn't it? if i were going to employ Jason Ritledge i'd be worried about this. doesn't seem like Jason Ritledge is a very trustworthy person. if i were doing a web search on the personal character of Jason Ritledge i'd be worried about this. i wonder if Jason Ritledge has a criminal record? he's certainly not liked around here. Jason Ritledge has stolen links from us. Jason Ritledge has lied to us. Jason Ritledge has broken our community's rules.

Maybe we have so much going on in our lives that a little break from our busy reality is visiting websites for some personal time to read and reflect.
I can't speak for anyone else but I work full-time, am earning my master's, have a 4-year old and have a baby on the way, for starters.
It's nice to come here and read interesting links. Personally, I don't really care that people thought the link sucked, it will be deleted. I've had really bad links deleted. Personally, if it was self-link, which you claim it wasn't, you will be banned. I didn't write the rules, I just like many of the people here and their witty commentary.

Drunk7daysaweek, if you had bothered to so much as read and comprehend the instructions about the posting form you would have seen that self-posting results in a deletion of the post and banning for you. So, bye. But if you want to come back as drunk6daysaweek and only post on that oh-so-crucial sober day, you'll probably be welcome. Or at least tolerated.

The self-link question obscures the fact that this is a crap-post beyond crap. People are comparing it to the Onion - no, folks, the Onion may be tired, but at least there's some craft there, some satire of newswriting. This sub-Fark sewage reads as though a sixth-grader wrote it. It's about as funny as the username "drunk7daysaweek."

Baby Balrog-
It didn't seem too many people disliked your post. You even got a few compliments. Quonsar wasn't impressed, but that's not shocking. It's not like this place is regulated by WWQD.
posted by mic stand at 9:18 AM PST on March 25
It's not?
Q: Someone dropped their wallet, and it's full of cash. There's a driver's license with an address on it. WWQD?
Quonsar would take the cash, eat the wallet, and rush off to the nearest fishmarket to buy as much live bait squid as he can. He would take the live squid back to where he found the wallet, arrange it in obscenely suggestive ways, and then vomit the half-digested wallet atop it all. He would then recite "I'm a little tea-pot" in a voice fit for a Swedish Deathmetal band and then traumatically frighten the nearest toddler or infant with his impressions of David Cassidy on an acid and ether binge, finishing off by calmly eating a pocket calculator while muttering the digits of Pi, backwards.

Um, what circle of Hell is link stealing again? So he made a mistake. But it's Good Friday and it's traditional to pardon a thief in order to crucify a heretic-nationalist, so let's chill.
We really don't need to type his name a dozen times in hopes that somebody Googling it will happen upon this page and his life will be ruined. I mean, come on, he was stupid, perhaps, but I don't know that this rises to the level of "let's make sure he never works again".
Instead, let's remember on this of all days, Christ's love and His sacrifice on the Cross to redeem all our sins, and in that spirit, go out into the world today and full of Christ's love and for all sinners and embrace Christ's example of forgiveness by making sure two homosexuals who love each other very very much, almost as much as Christ loved us sinners, can't get married and have a happy fulfilling life.
