Diamonds are a girl's/boy's best friend. Are diamonds for the men or the women? Does it matter as long as the doamond producers get their bucks? (stolen from mofi)
This is my last post.
This post was deleted for the following reason: ye-ow
Promises, promises. I mean the "last post" business.
Links to some guy's bitter little misogynistic Photoshops of DeBeers ads in his LiveJournal? Via MoFi, yet?
Sweet Moloch, rain your fire of destruction upon us now, I beseech thee, through thy servant JRun, and yea, unto all of the servers shalt thou send the sacred number 404.

It does not past muster. It is, in fact, crap.

what do you have against bitter little misogynistic Photoshops of DeBeers ads or mofi or livejournal?
pretty fucking unenlightened AND offtopic.

Bakiwop, you've made roughly 60 comments to metafilter, and it looks like most of them were made today. And then this post, which looks like an email forward I'd get from my crazy, unfunny brother. What gives? (I'd post this in metatalk, but really, who cares?)

Moloch will find you no solace!! Cuthulu is the true lord and will pluck you from your mortal coils in due time!!
Your only hope is that he takes you clean and soon!!
All Hail Cuthulu!! All Hail Eris!! Hail Discordia!!
Cuthulu (tm) is a trademark of DeBeers.

naxo and fandango, this one's for you:
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I'm sorry to see you go, Bakiwop. Though if you really must leave us, there is an alternative [PDF Document] to being down and out.
Keep on truckin'.
And, in regarding to the post, I don't think the DeBeers spoof are cohesive enough to be funny because of the varying fonts between each one. Something like that could be remedied by removing individual glyphs from actual DeBeer advertisements and rearranging them into subversive adverts. Just sayin'.

They're shitty Photoshops and they grind that bitter, misogynistic axe right down to its hateful little nubbin. Plus they're in some guy's LiveJournal, which I always hate as a monolink.

Well, I thought it was moderately funny. Interesting that two of the ads reference the Beatles.

They're not funny, not by any stretch of the imagination.
As they say, don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, bakiwop.

Then post some other supporting links rather than lame single links like this.
So, by last post, you mean last FPP, or are you going to restrain from posting comments as well. Well I guess you answered that by posting comments on your own thread. Such an empty promise.

And this becomes the 38018th thread where the discussion becomes more about whether something is postworthy than about the actual post.

What a bunch of assholery. That said, it would've passed muster if you didn't keep trying to stage manage the thread.
P.S. - This is my 24th post. The next will be my 25th. After that? I'll probably make a 26th. FYI.

I'm gonna miss you, bakiwop. Like that one time you posted that crappylink and then went apeshit in the thread. That was great.
