  • Skanadian, on 11/05/2007, -6/+69The video can be replaced with simple text:

    It came from Caturday threads on 4chan.

  • DOAmaster, on 11/03/2007, -3/+14g4 sucks mah balls
  • nathew, on 11/03/2007, -0/+10"...spamming /b/ with stuff that was just plain stupid..."

    or, in other words, pissing in an ocean of piss.
  • kkDonut, on 11/03/2007, -6/+16I feel bad about digging it. But I did anyway. Digg me down.
  • devinjohnson2, on 11/03/2007, -4/+14Why do you seek out dumb *****?
  • benroy, on 11/03/2007, -2/+12I mourn the loss of Sarah Lane. And her sweet cleavage. Then there was something about brains...?

  • inactive, on 11/03/2007, -0/+8If 90% of all emails are spam, where did the 26% figure come from? I think we need a source for this outlandish statement.
  • AbsurdParadox, on 11/04/2007, -1/+9U HAS BUZZWORD
  • RoboDonut, on 11/03/2007, -3/+11Last time I checked, "they" didn't want credit for anything, and were screaming "BLAME EBAUMS WORLD".

  • radda, on 11/04/2007, -3/+10The History of LOLCats:

    1) /b/ invents Caturday
    2) Retard sees Caturday on the interwebs and thinks it's lulz
    3) ?????
    4) ***** website that ushers in yet another interwebs craze based off of a meme stolen from 4chan
  • raitchison, on 11/06/2007, -0/+7No it's pretty close, most of it is sent to invalid "made up" E-Mail addresses and most of what's left is filtered out by spam filters.

    Have you hugged your E-Mail administrator today?
  • GawtMilk, on 11/03/2007, -0/+6Of all the "facts" in that video, you choose the one with the statistic.
  • HelloNavi, on 11/04/2007, -3/+9mostly because he's wrong. Longcat was the first. And he is looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong.
  • getoffmybridge, on 05/05/2009, -2/+8You should not advertise your knowledge of that.
  • bman784, on 11/03/2007, -1/+7Cat holocaust? Really?
  • mrurc, on 11/02/2007, -3/+9I watch Code Monkeys but it makes me feel dirty.
