Every time I see 4chan drivel make it to other places on the net I sit and wonder, what kind of people have nothing better to do than try and force feed other a passing trend?
Then I look at this picture:
-Christopher Poole, Creator of 4chan (yet to be fully proven however)
I love Legos, every now and then I buy myself a small set and still get that same giddy rush I did as a 7 year old; and then, I build it, put it on display at my desk and go on with my life. I don't go around telling people how AWESOME Legos are and make people enjoy what I like as if I wanted some kind of approval from them.
That's my beef with 4chan and their memes, to me, it feels as if they have to make sure others like why they like so they have some connection with people. Those that go to 4chan strike me as people with horrid social skills and have that "screw normal!" mindset; yet, they find comfort in others thinking like them.
Just enjoy something because you enjoy it, trying to get others involved by getting fanatical about it just gets you odd looks.
*I know I'm a rain drop on a mointain saying this, just felt like writing.

So, what, the only "correct" form of communication is commercial advertising? The package generated by the commercially interested party is the sole allowable path by which one can learn about things? And if you miss that package or the package misses you, the item becomes de facto unavailable?
The entire main site of Anandtech is information -- reviewers telling you what they found and what they think. Should they shut down and let you stumble about on your own trying to figure out if 6600GT is faster than a 5770? Whether a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 is faster than a 2.9GHz Athlon II?
At the urging of others who have reviewed My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and said it is good, we have watched it, and also found it to be good.
Rated best new cartoon of 2010. Growing popularity among a diverse adult audience for its animation, stories, and characters. Yet you wish to think it's "poor social skills."
Riiiight.
More like that we're networking just fine and you're just an idiot.
Your Lego thing is not novel information. We all had Legos growing up. We do not need you to tell us about Legos because we are well versed in what it means. We can use that as a solid basis to determine whether we'd like it now.
But you can not use much that seems to relate to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic to determine whether you'll like it on its merits, because it's different. It's not the crappy 80's cartoon. It's does not follow the pattern laid out over the last 30 years that anything aimed at children has to be insipid and anything aimed at girls has to be nausea-inducing. Perhaps you know that you are such a buzz kill that you will let nothing will reach you, but that is no true judgement of the show. If you're a stick-in-the-mud, that says nothing about those of us who are not.
Watch it or not, that's up to you. But it's not a meme.

I knew there was a reason I had you on ignore.

OP is a well known misogynist. Nearly banned for his little 'issue' with women a few times.
If someone calls a fat woman fat, she will get offended; If someone calls a thin woman fat she will be confused, until she looks at the person that originated the insult and realizes it's nothing more than a reflection of that person's insecurities.
I'm the second fat woman...

So in summary... what you don't like about 4chan is that they're basically the embodiment of Holden Caulfield. Or if you havent read the book.. they're basically just a bunch of immature, rebellious kids.
Sure I could see that.
Now what I'm assuming here is that you're making the connection that these 4chan people are these loner-rebel-kids. But otoh.. given the anonymity of the internet.. i dont think that's a fair statement either. There's no way to tell if all of 4chan is full of absolutely genius trolls. Or whatever else. All you need to do is look at what anon has been able to pull off -- sure they pull a lot of hurtful and meaningless pranks -- but they've also been had some high profile attacks. esp w/ hbgary.
even with the hbgary case you could probably argue that it's just a bunch of kids playing malicious games. but other cases could be made.

I have a huge tote full of Legos in the attic that were saved from my sons' childhood. Can't wait to break them out when I have grandkids. I love some Lego action.

Here's my man card. I'm out.
So, yeah, I just went through this whole thread, and watched the first episode linked by our resident Rukia groupie, and was entertained. Ponies eating cupcakes w/ hot sauce? That's worth a laugh or two.
But, you know what it really makes me want to do? Watch all of [the incomplete, thanks to bastard CN execs] Samurai Jack, in order.

welcome to the heard :sneaky:. the first 2 episodes are more like pilot eps which are usually more lame (introducing the characters etc) as like most shows. i will suggest these higher-tier episodes
4 "Applebuck Season"
6 "Boast Busters"
9 "Bridle Gossip"
10 "Swarm of the Century"
13 "Fall Weather Friends"
16 "Sonic Rainboom"
20 "Green Isn't Your Color"
