i'm not sure where this happened but i think this thread (http://www.oprah.com/community/thread/88211) probably provoked it. while i have to admit that oprah responding to something like that and thinking it's serious is pretty hilarious, i can't imagine what kind of doors this is going to open up. the oprah online "community" is huge and full of impressionable, fear mongering housewives.

the problem with 4chan , at least, i think

is that there are a lot of brilliant people that go there and do their 'bidding' or whatever you want to call it

but for every one of them there are a hundred complete morons

I like 4chan sometimes, but most of it is fucking stupid. LOL SCIENTOLOGY RAID GUZ POST TITS OR GTFO.

In the other boards though, there are some actual discussion that is interesting to read.

as much as i hate 4chan and the "ovre 9000" joke, the fact that she was really serious about over 9000 penises is hilarious

thats the only clever use of the term i've ever heard so good job to that guy to make something as dull and overused as that meme actually funny

technically this isnt all of 4chan

its just /b/
thats the boards that organizes the raids and does this stuff
its also the most popular board and terrorizes the others

the other boards all hate /b/
A LOT.

this has been a zekey fun fact about obscure internet shit

im sure anyone whos spent a few days at ol 4chin has figured out that noone likes b not even the guy who created 4chan, actually especially the guy who created 4chan.

and taylors post pretty much sums up why this is a more-than-mildly amusing video and why I haven\\\'t laughed out loud this hard in a long time.

and to be fair i dont really hate 4chan i just hate all the gay mystique its become the thing to hate and the thing to blame and its just a god damn website like any other shit hole OK AY

ill admit that after oprah read the "9000 penises" part, the crowd's reaction was pretty hilarious

but mostly after seeing this, all im feeling is a wierd mixture of sadness and anger. this is like the culmination of years of faggotry finally resulting in something slightly humorous. the flood of stupid 4chan humor which has completely driven me away from every major website except here and the SS has finally spilled over into the mainstream. and as you know, if it wasn't already the gayest thing ever, it can only get gayer as it gets more mainstream. in a few years, e-humor and internet inside jokes will be unavoidable in every form of media, and a few years after that, itll be the norm. suddenly every faggot on earth will be in on the joke.

it also seems to me that regardless of how fun it still is to flame people and troll forums, it will never have the same appeal as it once did. 4chan has successfully made cyber-bullying into a big nerdy subculture, and now even the dumbasses they try to piss off have jumped on the bandwagon

4chan used to be good. then it went mainstream and got overrun by unoriginal, meme-spewing livejournal fucktards who completely destroyed it.

the real problem here is that the internet in general has become mainstream. everyone has a myspace, facebook, livejournal, aim, msn, or whatever other inane shit is out there to draw people in. the internet is too easy to use. anyone can get in. lolcats? scientology raids? shoop da whoop? none of that inane bullshit would have ever happened if the myspace fucktards had been kept out from the beginning.

and yes, trolling, flaming, and all that fun shit would still be around. hell, there were usenet trolls before any of this web 2.0 nonsense was even thought of.

Post by: rtil on September 23, 2008 01:43 AM
i've looked a little bit more into this, and basically what Oprah is trying to pull is to get millions of paranoid housewives to e-mail their senators to pass senate bill 1738 , otherwise misleadingly known as the "Protect Our Children Act 2007". i say misleading because it has the same mask as the Patriot Act - essentially, the name is the only good thing about it.

the bill proposes that $635 million taxpayer dollars be spent over the next 6 years to create an "Internet Crimes Against Children" task force in every state, which will work locally and nationally with the federal ICAC "National Data Center" to stop child sex predators. Basically, it's going to allow the federal government and law enforcement to tap deeper into people's private doings online in order to catch criminals before they commit crimes (ha). so, what will happen is you'll walk in to panera or starbucks or mcdonalds or any local shop that has a wireless signal, and before you connect to their wireless you'll have to give out all your personal information or the business will be committing a crime by not protecting children should you decide to talk dirty to them on AIM at their store.

oprah has put up a link to senate.gov on this page (http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20080911_tows_predators) telling people to copy, paste and e-mail a letter asking their senators to vote yes on the bill.

well, why don't we e-mail them telling them to vote "no" on the bill? here is the link to find your state senators (http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm). i already e-mailed both of mine. here is what i wrote them:

QuoteDear Senator Murray,
Senate Bill 1738 (Protect Our Children Act), in my opinion, is an extremely misleading bill. I believe it will not help protect children from internet predators, and instead compromise the security and privacy of millions of innocent Americans, as well as hamper local businesses that provide wireless internet to their customers. This is a huge waste of money and a step in the wrong direction. I think that many people are saying "yes" to this bill just because of the name, and not looking at the fine print.

Many task forces similar to the proposed ICAC already exist, and spending $635,000,000 (SEC. 107) of the taxpayer's money towards the aforementioned task force could be put to better use educating parents to teach their children to use the internet responsibly.

I also believe this bill is an infringement upon privacy rights. This bill will make it illegal for places like Starbucks,  McDonalds or even libraries to offer free internet access with out first retrieving personal information and then having equipment to record and monitor everything they do online.

It is already against the law to hurt children. All this bill does is create unnecessary burdens on business owners and can turn innocent people into criminals. The broad access of information to the task forces will jeopardize the privacy of the law-abiding American citizen.

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." - Benjamin Franklin

Thank you for your time,
Ryan Miller
