As anyone who has even momentarily scanned an IMDB message board knows, these things are full of some of the most brainless people in the entire world. I mean these people literally care to death about the most inane concepts. I'm not saying that they're hopeless. A lot of them are probably kids who don't know any better or people who've been tricked by society into thinking that People is a legitimate newszine. But no matter what, in that moment that a person posts on IMDB, whether they be a silly teenager or a Nobel Prize winner, they are an idiot*.
*Exceptions to the rule:
1. You are actually friends with an IMDB person and want to "razz" him or her.
2. The message board is for a little-known film and you are actually trying to create buzz for it because you think it deserves "properties" (isn't that what "props" is short for?)
3. The killer from the Saw movies is forcing you to post. (Help!)
Moving on, I read the following post by mulika112 while scanning the aforementioned homosexual thread: "No dear, Usher is not gay. I read one of his interviews where he said that the weirdest rumor that he has heard about himself was that he was gay. Then he said that's not true. But, if he were, I would still love him. Besides, in the end we all have to face God, right?"
This post angered me so much that I actually raced to my webbery here to release the rage. The final line, of course, is what gets me. First, one can't end an inherently subversive comment about Judgment Day with "Right?" IMDB is not a religious message board, so mulika112 can't assume we all agree with her. And if she is really so certain about God's existence, she shouldn't be pleading for support. Hitler didn't make people hate the Jews by saying, "Jews are bad, right?" He was assertive in his absurd statements. So should religious people be.
So I guess what angered me so much is mulika112's utter ignorance. First there is her ignorance of cultural taste, which led her to love Usher in the first-place. Then, there is her ignorance of the internet piety spectrum (see graph at end), a scale upon which IMDB steadily sits near the bottom. Finally, there is (or so I gather from her tone) her ignorance of religion when juxtaposed with modern realities. Mulika112 has obviously put zero thought into her religious views of gays versus her human views that she would still love Usher if he were still gay. God wouldn't love Usher if he were gay? But she would? But she is confident that she would still get into heaven for loving someone God hated? What? Ugh.
If God doesn't led Usher into heaven, it's because he's a cock.
Usher, I mean.

Haha, our room mate Glen LOVED Usher, and Pat used to give him shit (Glen hated it when you implied Usher was gay). I hope he sees this somehow.
I'm destroying any subtlety in my post, but I actually created an IMDB thread for the Saw link, and it's already gotten 4 responses that are hilarious and, of course, argumentative.
Also, go to www.wayofthemaster.com even if you're not pious and see who greets you.
And Glen rocks, even if Usher only R&Bs.
this post has inspired me to propose a 1st Annual Brookfield Central-related Blog (or Webbery if Brammer is so insistent) Awards to be held sometime in the beginning of next year. i would like to nominate this post for Post of the Year. we can have a ceremony in b-field and everything around xmas time/new year's. take pictures and picture share that shit. what do you jokers think?
That is a posh idea! (And I'm flattered that this post might be nominated for your nominated event. I'm gonna nominate one of yours soon because that's what award people do. Tickle each other's balls or female equivalents.)
I also nominate my basement for this event, especially if the Wiperts and Antonyrajs actually do escape Brookfield. Not that my basement deserves a nomination. It's more of a volunteering I guess. So I nominate it to be available.
Sounds great, I'll bring a fridge-pack of vanilla coke. Then we can all give the Drax shit about how he owes Pat $1,000.
Hahaha, oh my GOD! The messages on IMDB are unbelieveable! People on IMDB really are insanely dumb. Good job, Brammer!
