Gah, not enough time.  Someone put a chestburster in there for me, would you?  Cheers.

(edit) Oh bugger Unicorn got a better shirt/monster combo, damn..

El Unicornio, mang

I think yours looks better, mine's too messy

Big Jack McBastard

Round the edges maybe, but the meat is more pleasing in yours.

Also on an unrelated note, this is a long overdue, your avatar/name combo is ace, it's one of those things that sticks in my mind when ever I think 'Oh, CaB', much like Cerys/SNG's in that respect.

I honestly thought that (in the other thread) but deleted my claim because I thought "No, why would they put the mixed-up HPOA/HOPA letter stuff in there if it was a fake?". Perhaps to add an air of realism, then.

aww it's fake http://www.boingboing.net/2010/08/10/hopa-girl-is-obvious.html
now we must stop having fun.

I treat most of these things as if they were potentially fake, anything that comes from a single source is possibly a viral. In things like this it doesn't really matter to me; the story isn't attacking a specific identified individual or company, and it isn't being used to make some wider political point, so it's all just a bit of fun really. Stuff like this and the "drawing of a spider" emails that were doing the rounds I didn't really believe, but they're still fine if you just treat them as a joke. I saw some journalist on Twitter comparing how "everyone" was fooled by this to the outbreak of lolz that took place over the Independent's Wanky Balls festival fuck-up, but they're really different cases. The Independent thing seems to have been a journalist lazily cribbing from Wikipedia without even bothering to make the simple check if there was a citation for the fact he was quoting, whereas this was just a joke presented as if it happened and left up the reader to decide about the veracity of it, if they care.

The veracity of the story has no effect either upon the awesome mongs, nor upon the hotness of the girl. In summary: I'm cool with it. Perhaps next week she can quit the bikini retailer she's been temping at?

So.... Porn?

Someone somewhere did point out that with the glasses on she bears a slight similarity to Eva Angelina, not that I know who that is.

MALCOLM

Ok, I'm just calming down from the excitement but, if this chick appears in porn anywhere, you guys need to hook a brother up.

Everyone's added her on facebook yeah?

QDRPHNC

Don't get this at all. It was barely funny when we thought it was real.

Now that it's fake, where is the humour in it?

Where?





It's presented as a meme, and therefore automatically loved. Sad but true.

Shoulders?-Stomach!

It's just an opportunity for some photomonging. I presented a blank slate- and with lots of available facial expressions you can bring all sorts to the table. The best ones here have nothing to do with any meme, so stop being so po-faced.

You misunderstand.

The photomonging is all good.

I mean the original. What pleasure there was to be had hinged on a douche boss getting his comeuppance.

So if there never was a boss, nobody calling anyone a piece of ass, no Farmville-playing, no revenge, nothing. Where the FUCK is the humour?



MALCOLM

I wish I was as cool as you :o(

QDRPHNC

I'm going to proceed assuming that was sarcasm.

I'm on the internet a lot, and rarely do so many people cream themselves so quickly over such a dull meme. And when the meme became even duller on reveal of the fakery, people kept creaming themselves over it.

I'm angry because I'm genuinely confused.

It's for the same reason that people keep saying "epic win" and "omg fail!!!!!" and "lol zombie pirate ninjas OMG". People are just dull as fuck and will somehow draw amusement from adopting any Internet culture wholesale.

Yes, I suppose. You forgot pretending to be really into bacon.

I don't know. This one just struck me as particularly pointless.

Unless you're gay, blind or a straight woman I think you're missing the best thing (other than this thread) about the whole deal.
