I still smile when I remember this day, and Shepard Smith's "gently caress IT I'M NOT DOING THIS" attitude on fox when they kept cutting over to the story.

Is it Paris Hilton in the back of a police car? If so I'm probably on board, but what was the Fox News story?

Big-rear end brony schadenfreude unfolded today. The infamous rapist horse tumblr Ask Princess Molestia got taken down. Just suddenly deleted with no warning. Turns out Hasbo issued a Cease & Desist on it. The stupid thing had thousands and thousands and thousands of followers and now bereft bronies are weeping over the loss of their beloved sexual harassment horse stories and pictures.

I can't find any sources that explain it that aren't lovely pony sites or reddit and I dunno if I wanna link any of that trash. But it's pretty sweet to see the impotent outcry of HOW UNFAIR this legal action is and how Hasbro is caving to stupid feminists. Why couldn't they love and tolerate our rape jokes?!

Man, I just remembered hearing about that one idiot pony porn artist who forgot to turn off his stream one day before he started watching child porn. He began blubbering about how he should "never have discovered the deep web" and poo poo while bronies had another huge meltdown.

In the old brony mock thread before the PYF thing to mock clusterfuck (archives),

quote:

So, my friend just linked me this photo about a brony,

:nws: http://i.imgur.com/rx6vV.jpg :nws:

He also linked this as the descriptor of the image.

"A thing sure did just happen on /mlp/. Popular 'clop pic' artist Alplblewm (Steam name "Butterscotch") just killed himself after getting high as poo poo and leaving his stream on whilst browsing deepnet websites for child porn, downloading videos with names like "Andy 4yo anal" and "Jonas 8yo tooling in rear end deeply anal hosed some cry". Here are some screencaps and logs of this pathetic son of a bitch crying about what an idiot he is. Bronies are out in full force on /mlp/ trying to convince each other they aren't all sick fucks like Alplblewm (they are)."

I guess this came out of endoftheinter.net. Just Jesus Christ, I don't even know what to say. Bronies sure are crazy.

It's a little hard to see, but a friend of mine had her laptop propped up against the wall overnight, underneath the window.

The slight lighter blemish you see is water damage, from a leak in that window. The water wound its way down, changing course, ultimately breaching through the wall directly over a port on a friend's laptop, frying it.

Edit: he got a second audition and got the part.

Two brothers make a horrible theme park and get tossed in jail for it. Unlike Action Park, it wasn't dangerous, just a huge rip-off. :effort:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_New_Forest

Some highlights:

quote:

The park attracted a great deal of fame in the United Kingdom in 2008 due to the extremely poor quality of its attractions, which largely consisted of a single billboard depicting the nativity, lights dangling from trees, mistreated animals in chains, a broken ice rink, empty garden sheds (previously described as log cabins by the website) and a very poorly decorated Santa's grotto.

quote:

After being open for less than one week the park closed and its website was removed, thousands of angry visitors having attacked workers at the site – including Santa and his elves, one of which was slapped around the face. Children who had looked forward to the event were reduced to tears, especially when Santa was caught smoking.

Did you ever wonder where the Romans got bread from? It wasn't from Waitrose!
The military imposters have got me thinking about my ex who, when the marriage was going down in flames through to the aftermath of divorce, suddenly started telling me and anyone who would listen that he was a former, highly decorated Marine who'd served in a 'secret branch' of the military during Viet Nam, earning two bronze stars and six purple hearts.

He was 15 when the war ended in 1975, but he assured me et al that he was *really* 10 years older, and that the name I knew him by was a pseudonym because he was so traumatised by his years in 'The Jungle' that he'd assumed a new identity and thrown away his medals, and so forth.

Part of this nonsense started because he walked with a limp from an accident as a child, but his students asked him if it was an old war injury (this was back in the late 80s, early 90s) and part of it was he started hanging out with people who were pretty gullible, and he enjoyed the attention he got from his 'war stories' (not to mention that it got him laid, one of the reasons I divorced him). He got a lot of sympathy where he taught from the faculty and staff because of his 'experiences' as well.

His grip on reality was a bit slippy anyway by the time we divorced (self-medicating from the above-mentioned injury that led to some hard-core prescription pain med abuse), but he was absolutely adamant he'd been in the Marines -- he started wearing Marines-flavoured t-shirts, flew an MIA flag in front of the house, covered his car in pro-Marines stickers, &c.

I would ask him, where are your medals? He threw them away. If he'd been in the service, why didn't he have a military pension? He was too traumatised and wanted to cut off that part of his life. What was the name of his unit, and where was he stationed (as my cousins, all of whom really did serve in various branches of the military during the war, were curious to know). Couldn't tell me, it was classified.

His fantasies also included a fictional first wife whom he'd met in the service, and who was conveniently killed in the Berlin nightclub bombing.

My divorce lawyer, who knew about all of this, added to the divorce papers that if my ex had been a Marine, then I was entitled to some of his military pension (my lawyer had been a real life Navy SEAL). My ex worked himself up into a lather at this point and checked himself into a hospital claiming that I was emotionally abusive and that he was suffering the effects of heart failure. He did drop the crap about being a former Marine briefly because of that, though.

I've no idea if a real military person (or, I hope, a Marine) ever busted his poo poo for his sob stories and fantasies, as I cut and run, and got the hell away from him (he continued to stalk me and my parents for a few years after that, ranging from taking out credit cards in my name, running the bills up into the 1000s, then defaulting; to petty poo poo like constantly looking me up on Linked-In, stuff like that. I've had to pay one of the credit monitor companies to keep a sharp eye on my credit history, &c., because of some of the poo poo he was doing.) I did report him years back to the Stolen Valour guys, but they never responded.

PS Just to add -- when I was little, I wore my cousin's Air Force shirt and jacket, which I think is forgiveable in a 9 year old girl. I also have my father's complete Navy uniform from WWII (he never threw *anything* away), and I love wearing it -- you put on those crazy trousers and instantly you want to tap dance with a cartoon mouse), but gently caress's sake claiming to have served when you didn't :psyduck:

To add to the "faking in the military" pile:

http://guardianofvalor.com/melvin-gerard-slack-jr-running-mayor-shreveport-veterans-scratching-heads/



Basically, faking it to get free arby's or something on Veteran's Day....kinda low but you're just trying to fool an underpaid high schooler who likely doesn't care either way.

So, yeah appearing in a very, very wrong uniform and effectively hoping that nowhere in the entire Shreveport area, is there a veteran that might be paying attention to the election is sort of pushing the envelope in terms of schadenfreude.

Personally if you're going to fake it, why not just be like "yep, I was a truck driver in Iraq. It sucked. I don't want to talk about it. Give me my free sandwich?" No one is going to ask a darned question about that. But nooo, they have to get the pretty uniform on they don't know how to wear, and claim to be Delta SOF Sky SEAL Rangers.

In terms of getting over people falsely wearing the uniform:

Think of it less like, pretty ribbons and things, and more like Hell's Angel's attire. It's a near tribal identity, however it's one that generally is unable to curbstomp people given the whole "not a biker gang" status. You don't wear the coat if you didn't earn it, and that's something that is part of that cultural identity of being in the military. Also it's rather annoying to have to dispel myths people believe thanks to the fakers (or imagine trying to convince someone that the military does not have special all Mexican/African units that are used for dangerous tasks because that's what their US Marine Ranger uncle told them).

What I don't get, is it's really easy to find some uniform regs online. Just make yourself reasonable, a navy e-3 or something. People still love you because military, but you can legit be like "oh I don't know" if someone questions you because you're a dipshit e-3.

It's like people care enough to dress up as a fake army guy but not enough to look up how to do it.
