I found this to be both funny and not funny at the same time. Isn't that odd?

oh you fuckers. It would have been so funny to not make any comments at all - what a missed chance. Because he's right you know - without a "first post", there can't be any later ones.

I just want to say that AICN is scuzzhole run by fuckwit and this fictional depiction of a first poster is probably not far off from the average talkbacker there.

Fucking Salon. First I get an Ad, then I try to apple-click the comments while it's playing, and fuck it up so lose the video, get taken to another ad and when I hit back, I get taken back here.

Agreed. Plus, the video didn't even show up in Firefox for me, had to use IE.

I'm using firefox, and I had no problems at all. It's a flash video, so if youtube works this should work too. I didn't see a salon interstitial advertisement when first hit the page, so that might be screwing something up.

From the comments here I gather this must be a really, really great link and I'm definitely for sure going to click it, but maybe after I watch the next MeFi post, which is a 2 hour video of the inside of some guy's ass.

At least it's not a chain-letter poster that would say something like an Australasian toddler died fourteen years ago today at the hands of a first-poster and you will die the same way unless you make fourteen first posts within fourteen minutes!

I like "first" posts because they clue you in immediately as to the nature of the site's community, and usually that's a reflection of the quality of the site itself.

Well, here it is... a bad video, by a poor actor, about a concept that is fairly stupid to begin with. Followed by fairly meaningless comments about a bad video, by a poor actor, about a concept that is fairly stupid to begin with. I'm only hoping that this will all be followed by a metatalk callout about the comments about the bad video by the poor actor, about a concept that is fairly stupid to begin with.
Once that happens, could someone please post an askmefi about how to do a bad video, by a poor actor, about a concept that is fairly stupid to begin with. Followed by fairly meaningless comments about a bad video, by a poor actor, about a concept that is fairly stupid to begin with.
And, could someone then post "first" to that askmefi? please?
