    • oh I've been up for HOURS,

      perusing the Guardian over my tea and pain au chocolat. This is called middle age.

      • oh rachel.

        you are a one.

        crablin @puppy_galore | 24 Mar '07, 09:41 | X
      • but anyway

        when all you crazy kids come to after your Friday night hedonism, do stumble down to your local newsy - you may find an article of interest in today's Guardian Guide at page 8.

        Now, I'm off to Ikea for some light household accessory-buying and a duo of 50p hotdogs.

        • OH MY GOD.

          THIS IS THE MOST HILARIOUS THING EVER.

      • My favourite bit

        is the syntax error. I <3 mis-placed apostrophes.

        • i feel like i've been misrepresented

          might have to get the lawyers involved

          smezzer @crablin | 24 Mar '07, 10:23 | X
          • that would be amazing.

            let's start a case.

            crablin @smezzer | 24 Mar '07, 10:23 | X
            • i've made some calls

              this jonze person is gonna rue the day he messed with DiS

              smezzer @crablin | 24 Mar '07, 10:28 | X
        • oui

          though he mainly writes for the guide now, since Malik left NME to edit the guide.

        • Just seeing

          'Pigfoot' in print has made my year.

          crablin | 24 Mar '07, 10:24 | X
          • same here

            what does that say about my year?

            jp100 @crablin | 24 Mar '07, 10:26 | X
          • :)

            that's great!

          • ...

            I just read that thread. You're gonna pay.

          • If I call Tim Jonze a smug cunt now

            does that prove his point? I'm confused.

            bobbygeorge | 24 Mar '07, 10:52 | X
          • I don't think I really get the point of the article

            What's it trying to prove/inform people about?

            commandercool | 24 Mar '07, 10:56 | X
            • I'm not sure that he's proved anything.

              bobbygeorge @commandercool | 24 Mar '07, 10:57 | X
              • That was my feeling

                and it wasn't even that entertaining either.

                commandercool @bobbygeorge | 24 Mar '07, 10:58 | X
                • nope

                  at least he's pleased with himself though.

                  Damn, we're falling right into his trap here. I'm going to erase this article from my memory, using beer.

                  bobbygeorge @commandercool | 24 Mar '07, 10:59 | X
                  • Haha

                    Wow, so he's writing under the guise of a smug, self-satisfied journalist who went online under the guise of a smug, self-satisfied board user.

                    How postmodern. I bet he's terribly pleased with himself.

                    commandercool @bobbygeorge | 24 Mar '07, 11:07 | X
          • the thing is

            nobody actually cared. anyone who commented either said 'boring' or 'lol' or just went along with him. i doubt anyone took him for real, and everybody probably thought he was someone else's alter-ego. and 'controversial' threads like that are ten a penny.

            but its been twisted by jonze to make it seem more interesting than it actually was. i suppose he is an nme journalist, so its to be expected

            smezzer | 24 Mar '07, 11:10 | X
          • Martbowskis a lot better at it

            maybe if tarquin had come along and dissed bright eyes or another DiS fave in a more believeable fashion he would have got more reaction.

            but genesis? who's gonna believe thats for real?

            smezzer @Pigfoot | 24 Mar '07, 11:18 | X
            • hurray I now have an extra definition of what post modern means

              It means its done by a twunt who is an self referentially a twunt

              creakyknees @smezzer | 24 Mar '07, 11:48 | X
              • whoops that should have been up there^ under commandercool

                .....when i read pigfoots name i nearly choked on my meusli......and came.....Pigfoot is now a celeb.......whats more he even got selectively quoted, not the full quote.

                guntrip's put down was actually the most damning in that thread.

                creakyknees @creakyknees | 24 Mar '07, 11:50 | X
                • I think the experiance would have been enhanced by a picture of you

                  looking wasted like pete doherty.......I wonder if anyone has such a photo?

                  creakyknees @Pigfoot | 24 Mar '07, 12:09 | X
                  • That should be used as a Cats*3 JAGathon

                    yes_ | 24 Mar '07, 13:39 | X
                  • haha, that's awesome

                    i like how he tries as hard as he can to try and find a sentence that sounds "outraged". If he'd quoted that whole post it would have been kind of obvious that no one really cared.

                    pretty_vacant | 24 Mar '07, 13:43 | X
                    • The article

                      is pretty funny. It's just not true. Shame.

                      TheAbsoluteGirl | 24 Mar '07, 18:41 | X
                      • I do like

                        how this whole thing being exposed is getting far more attention than the original did. As I said in the other thread, he'd only really have got abuse had he posted as himself.

                        simon_t @TheAbsoluteGirl | 24 Mar '07, 23:48 | X
                        • Actually

                          do you reckon he's watching us?

                          simon_t @simon_t | 24 Mar '07, 23:48 | X
                    • What a great piece of journalism...

                      Next time he'll try to anger people in a queue by trying to pass before them or something just as great..

                      lyle | 25 Mar '07, 09:02 | X
                      • Christ that was poor

                        like a journalistic equivalent to Balls of Steel.

                        amputee-porn @lyle | 25 Mar '07, 17:44 | X
                    • what a weird article!

                      was he trying to make out that internet forums are all entirely made up of trolls? Pointless, but exciting to see DiSers in print!
