Is this the worst article ever?

[Loonyyy]

The term: "TROLL", comes to mind. If he was seriously interested in discussion, he wouldn't have insulted people so early in. He's deliberately being controversial, not because he has something intelligent to say, but because he's a twat.

Ignore it and move on.

And add The Telegraph to the list of outlets like The Daily Mail, and Fox News for useless twats who shouldn't be in media.

I was chuckling through the article, thinking nothing of it other than: 'Oh, wow.. Some people really are cunts now aren't they' ... But then he referred to Sir Ian Mckellen as 'an old man with a beard who played Dracula in the Hammer Horror films' - OH, BOY.. THAT WAS NOT A CLEVER THING TO SAY..

Sir McEllen is not amused..

Seriously, though.. What a pretentious ****...

 

[someonehairy-ish]

For once, the hyberbole in the title is entirely justified...

Wow. Just wow.

He was talking about Sir Christopher Lee but yeah he clearly avoided the fact that he was knocking a film with a VERY respected Shakespearian actor (best Iago EU!).

Let's go find this guy and throw wotsits at his stupid hair.

Oh, thank you for correcting me..
I feel like a terrible excuse for a Drama nerd..

But, yeah.. I saw a video in the comment section that I think kind of summed up this article..

So he said superhero stuff is emasculating... what about women and girls who are fans of it?

SORRY WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU ALL THE WAY DOWN IN THE WOMB OF MY PARENT'S HOUSE.

If you all don't like him so much , I know I certainly don't then head on over to his website at http://www.timothystanley.co.uk/contact.html where you can contact him personally. I have never been so angry at a journalist , a field I want to go into , and a historian , a second field I want to go into , before.

I had to cross my arms when you posted that link. I'm at an internet café atm and my nipples just went hard.

This is my letter to him:

Spoiler

Dear Mr. Stanley.

You are probably aware that a certain sub-culture are feeling very bitter towards you right now.

I would just like to say that I read your article from start to finish and am appalled at some of the responses. As I scrolled down to the comment's section to post my praises I saw, to my disappointment, the hateful things being said by some of the subjects of your article.

I hope you read this and it raises your spirits to know that I, personally, found your article hilarious and encourage you to write more. With Hollywood now following the literary market's obsession with fantasy, good entertainment is exceptionally hard to come by and, as such, I am endlessly thankful for your article.

It's a shame to see that the "basement masses" don't posses the social awareness to truly understand your piece, but be comforted in the knowledge that you and I are on the same level and that I have never laughed so much in my life. The manner in which you bring together hypocrisy and disparagement simultaneously is stunning and I look forward to reading more of your bullshit.

I am NOT following that link, but I'm already fuming.

 

[ayvee]

More like the most hilarious article ever. The guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about, and I can't believe this was published professionally.

?By day I deliver Domino?s pizzas. But by night, I am King of the Lizard people!?

Tim Stanley I can't even handle you right now.

 

[IllumInaTIma]

Wow... perhaps there really is some hidden Anti-Fun coalition...

Someone get my shotgun.....

I totally just read that in Twilight Sparkle's voice. Now I'm wondering where she would even get a shotgun in Equestria...

OT: I really hope this is tongue-in-cheek, because if there's somebody who can't even conceive fun without some big conspiracy of virtual reality and greed, than I just feel sad for him.

If you spend your entire life living in your mum?s basement playing Xbox and eating Wotsits, then you?re unlikely to grow up looking like Daniel Craig.

Ah. Of course. Nerds are not physically attractive. Or are you merely saying that they aren't physically imposing? Either way, astute observation, sir.

However, I believe that Vin Diesel, David Tennant, Wil Wheaton, Felicia Day, "that old man with a beard who played Dracula in the Hammer Horror films," and, while we're at it, every person on both of [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/OneOfUs/AthleticEggheads] these lists right here [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/OneOfUs/WrestlingWeenies] would like to offer a counterargument to both of those points.

Well. That was painful to read. Still, I think I can top it:

Well, I have the worst REVIEW in the world, no seriously

Read it and be in awe at how this guy gets paid to do this.

 

[rob_simple]

I still think that one Penny Arcade made fun of was the best worst article evarrr; the one where the guy called Mass Effect an 'electronic hotbed of homosexuality' or something.

Don't forget Esquire's sexiest woman in the world, Mila Kunis, complete nerd there

I'm pretty sure reading that guy's article yesterday is subconsciously the reason I'm in the middle of a rewatch of Fellowship at the moment (extended cut, between discs). I've been planning on watching the entire trilogy for months, but I didn't actually start on it until last night.

How about this one?

It's not because he loathes the Beatles. It's the asinine statements that this numbskull uses to present his argument.
