I Hate To Do This To You All, But. . . [Dave At Garfield Ridge]

Either this is an ad, or it's for real.

I'm pretty sure it's an ad. If so, I apologize for wasting your time.

If it's for real, well, you must understand, I can't take any chances.

Because the Superbowl is in *nine* days, and I guarantee you I ain't missing the game on account of some crazy-hairy demonic dripping well-tart.

That was in very bad taste. Maybe it is an ad. Maybe it is some kid having fun with a website. But I don't fine chain letters and chain web sites to be amusing.

Next time, resist the temptation to pass it on.

Thanks, now where am I supposed to get term life?

Posted by: ace's friend on January 28, 2005 12:54 AM

That's from the movie "The Ring".

If you haven't seen it, I *highly* recommend it. It's the best "scary movie" in a long time, in my opinion.

Posted by: Dave on January 28, 2005 01:05 AM

Hugh, meet Dave. Dave, meet Hugh.

You two can discuss the implications of what I posted.

Me, I'm just covering my bases. I've got money on the coin toss I plan to earn.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 28, 2005 01:11 AM

Actually, it's probably a promotion for the sequel to The Ring, which is supposed to come out sometime this year.

Posted by: Sean M. on January 28, 2005 04:32 AM

Yup, it's the sequel all right. There is a Dreamworks reference at the bottom of the screen, and if you follow the link mentioned on the site, you go to an alleged site of a person who is tracking the events of the days since she has seen "the tape". Sort of like all the self-generated web "hype" the film makers did before Blair Witch Project.

Apparently the cause of death will be boredom.

Posted by: Eric Pobirs on January 28, 2005 07:23 AM

Even the banner at the top of the follow-on page says "Rings".

Posted by: Steve L. on January 28, 2005 08:36 AM

I watched it a second time but in reverse, so I should be ok, right?

Posted by: Ranger on January 28, 2005 09:16 AM

Apparently, sarcasm is a lost art.

I'm a big fan of the original-- well, Amercian remake of the original-- Ring. I saw this little bit of viral marketing for the sequel, thought it was neat, and I made a joke.

A joke which obviously wasn't too funny to begin with, and now has aquired "negative funny" because I have to explain to everyone that I was fully aware of what I was posting.

In the future, I will refrain from being sarcastic.

Damn, there I go again.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

P.S. Ranger, I don't know what to tell you. Perhaps this means you'll live seven *more* days than everyone else?

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on January 28, 2005 11:22 AM

I'm with Hugh. Pretty lowbrow, even for this site, to propogate a chain letter type scheme.

Unless the teaser is something Ace wrote. Then I s'pose it falls under the realm of "shameless self-promotion"... which is just about par for this website. ;)

Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
spidermanthreatormenace.jpg

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
