The Oatmeal did a thing on running, and now I hate running
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running
What an utter bellend. The "vanity" page is particularly awful.

TheWza this'd this
I can't really bring myself to hate it.
The thing about tanning beds is a bit prickly, but on the whole, good for him (although I know he has his critics - I can't remember how that whole feud with BuzzFeed came about but his response was here: http://theoatmeal.com/blog/jack_stuef )
ElthamsmateOwen this'd thisYeah. I hope they continue to rip his comics off, frankly.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!
phew, blocked at work
near miss
oojimaflop this'd thisI genuinely loathe and despise The Oatmeal.
It's a fucking festering sac of scrotal elephantiasis masquerading as information for stupid cunts who pretend to have interests.
Comaboy this'd thisno fucking way am I reading six parts of that
it's bad enough that they used my name in the first bit. NO.
There were bits that I didn't agree with
but similarly I admired his honesty about it all and showing an opinion on something, just cause I don't agree with it all doesn't mean I have to hate someone or something.
You mean his name?
which is the same as your name? or is your name blerch?
(Not having ago, just possibly pointing out that his name is Matthew.)
the worst of it is
he's probably just ripping off Hyperbole and a Half
hexagram this'd thistotally disagree
that they are "part of gym culture" though.
there's some ludicrous straw-manning going on in that section
TheWza this'd thisI wanted to start running
that comic actually put me off a bit. I don't want my toenails to fall off or be hunted down by giant hornets. I think I will just stick to nice countryside walks and eating well.
didn't realise so many people hated him
seems fairly innocuous for the most part
I thought it was awesome
And it makes me want to run more.
Shit.
Maybe I'm turning into a running bellend.
as seems to be the fashion on these boards when i provide
an opinion that is slightly negative towards something.
HEY GUYS, HE'S JUST DOING HIS THING YEAH. IT MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD BE NEGATIVE ABOUT IT, YEAH? I BET LOTS OF PEOPLE REALLY ENJOYED THAT COMIC, CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE THEM IN PEACE TO ENJOY IT? I THINK YOUR LIFE WILL BE A LOT BETTER IF YOU JUST CHILL OUT, DON'T THINK ABOUT STUFF YOU DON'T LIKE AND JUST FOCUS ON YOUR OWN THINGS, YEAH?
which is really great advice. hey, it's just a comic guys?
instead of bashing him, why don't you just do something positive with your life...like go for a run?
nah.
it's a massive clanging humblebrag disguised as an underdog/outsider fightback.
calling it out is legit.
especially seeing as it's a commercial enterprise. rather than just some dude doing his thang.
Oissin_ and incandenza_ this'd thishey, i largely agree...
i just thought it was DiS law now that you needed this voice in every thread that gives a negative opinion.
but...
you haven't said anything yet? Or have you?
's cool.
You're just a guy doing his thing innit.
michael_w this'd thisalso, his day job is SEO expert
unarguably a bellend.
you'd have a point if this thread was all
I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE LIKE RUNNING OMG
you're right...
instead it's just.....THIS INTERNET-BASED CARTOON HAS MADE ME NEVER WANT TO RUN AGAIN BECAUSE IT IS SO FUCKING DOGSHIT AND THE GUY IS SUCH A MASSIVE BELLEND.
far milder.
hi pigfucker
the whole point here is that this guy is being a negative bag of dicks and bashing other people.
the manboobs thing is still running
and a ton of the oatmeal strips are repugnant. For ex, the twilight one.
another thread with another completely unnecessary insult.
i probably would've sparred with your for a bit on here in the past, but i think i'm past the need to verbally abuse a stranger on the internet over a minor disagreement.
have fun guys.
1) my gf does SEO ;(
2) he claims he only did SEO for a few months many years ago.
still seems like a prataw
no offence meant x
he made a 404 page for Tumblr, which they then adopted
what's the problem with that?

the article says "hey, this guy did this cute thing for tumblr, however don't forget this scummy stuff he did". Which is pretty clear when you, er, read the article.

japes and Royter-Hatfood this'd this
how does him making a 404 page for tumblr which they subsequently adopted make him a scummy SEO jerkwad?
think they're saying *despite* making this cool 404 page
he's also a dick
fidel_catstro this'd thisthe bit of the article where it talks about SEO
that bit. that's the bit you're looking for.
I sort of feel like I'm being Meoington'd here.

What's wrong with working in SEO/being an SEO `expert`?
I know what SEO is, but I must've missed the briefing where I was told to treat people who work in it with contempt...
I'm going to remove all my senses so I will never have to come across it again
(if I don't see it again in the next month there is no way I will remember it)

<meta name="description=" content="What is Search Engine Optimisation">
If you work in any kind of
job that requires maintaining a web presence, you need to have a basic understanding of SEO.
they're internet comics
of course they're not going to be very good.
If you're employed in any kind of
career that demands the upkeep of an internet profile, you need to have a rudimentary knowledge of SEO.
Generally
people who believe themselves to be witty enough to have their own adored web presence but don't hate on anyone that does. See also Maddox and friends, 27b and so on.

Guys
SEO pretty much dictates everything you browse and buy. It also allows small companies to gain a web presence if they know what they're doing.
Fuck you dweebs x
What a twonk
Useful excuse to not go for a run for a while
I had to look it up
do I get a prize
This is the worst Oatmeal comic I've ever seen
