Whoa, I am sorry to my core.

[Mike 03]

I didn't realize that my link to the Oscars had anything to do with Freepers, and I totally renounce that. I just Googled for a way to watch the Oscars and that is the link that came up. My Bad. I feel horrible. I am sorry.

Please, somebody give us another link that has NOTHING to do with those pieces of shit.

EDIT: This is a really good lesson. Don't be casual about anything. Pay attention. I guess that is the lesson.

Yes, of course, this is beyond very embarrassing. It is humiliating.

1. I wouldn't worry about it.

2. Freepers love the Oscars for some odd reason.

They watch it every year...100 pages worth of comments, fashion critiques and everything. Weird but true.

3. Maybe it's the make-believe world they live in.

6. Well that's not exclusive to Freepers.

:rofl:

5. well they certainly don't spend their time enriching their minds

They do seem dependent on teevee and radio (and pulpit) blowhards to tell them how to think, so that tells me they live thier lives mistaking form for substance and living vicariously through the glamor *ugh.coff choke* of celebrity.

I'd guess Oscars is their big night, but their daily fix is Entertainment Tonight or News or whatever it's called.

edit-- since I didn't know they were nuts for the Ocars, I should have siad, IF Ocsars is their big night, then ET would be thier daily fix

Actually, sounds like an interesting subject for research!

8. Does seem an odd thing for them to go for.

But it's a big night over there.

4. Freep.com is "The Detroit Free Press"

:shrug:

7. That's what this thread is about? ROFL

9. Happened to me one time too

I unwittingly linked to a story on a news site I had no idea was anathema here on DU. I would bet that more than one person probably thought I was a "paid troll" from a certain Freeper place, even though I had near, or over, 1,000 posts to my name at the time.

I don't even remember the name of the news source I linked to, so I get nervous about linking to ANY news source anymore.


Shit happens even when we don't mean it to

:shrug:

10. I'm pretty sure that seppuku is in order.
