Some bro gets thrown in jail 4 trolling hard.

Just read some 'horror story' about a bro in the UK who was trolling people hard on the internet. From what I have read on the internet, 'trolling' is cyberbullying in a kewl/anonymous kind of way. Usually most 'trolling' is justified, cuz ur making fun of some1 who is unchill/has bad intentions, but then some bros get 'hella dark' like this bro, and troll the families of kids who died.

The 36-year-old "preyed on bereaved families" for his "own pleasure", Manchester Magistrates Court heard.

He was jailed for 18 weeks for sending "malicious communications".

The posts included comments claiming he had had sex with the victims' dead bodies, the court heard.

Seems unchill. Wonder if he was just a chill ass rape gaze bro who was just vibing out in graveyards.
Do u <3 to 'troll' / get people on the internet angry, or are u one of those ppl who is all like 'it is pointless, yall.'

Does n e 1 know 'wtf is a troll' [via mainstream media definitions]?

The term "troll" was described in court as someone who creates new identities on Facebook accounts and then posts numerous offensive comments to upset or provoke a reaction from others.

Have yall ever trolled any1?
Is trolling 'all good, harmless fun' until some1 commits suicide because of u?
Do yall ever worry that if u do something mean 2 some1 on the internet, u will go 2 jail?
Should the Four Chans be 'thrown in the slammer' for 'being all mean 2 ppl' who 'don't deserve it'?
Does every1 deserve to feel 'safe', like they 'belong' when they browse on the internet?
Is Cyberbullying = Natural Selection?
Can I go 2 jail for doing 'deviant things' on the internet even though it isn't real life?

'sorry bro. see u in the slammer.'

#Project_Girl re-emerges, vlogs abt how Shannon Gaga is a fat slob

Posted: 29 Oct 2010 06:47 AM PDT

#Project_Girl is some girl who made a project about HIPSTER RUNOFF [link], but she only got a B on it. Many thought she would 'die away' as a coverable meme now that her project lifecycle is over, but it seems like she is continuing to generate 'bloggable content' that will appeal to the predominately male population of HIPSTER RUNOFF who are dedicated to find out more abt alt QTs.

It seems like during her religion class, she chose to make a list of unchill/chill stuff that she would rather be doing. She managed to use key buzzwords like "hipster bashing", "chillwave", "Snacks the Cat", "Alice Glass", and "Shannon Gaga."

She said that she would/wouldn't wanna sit next to Shannon Gaga on an airplane bc Shannon Gaga is all huskie, and would probably hog the arm rest, and try 2 steal ur snack or something, then fall asleep and start snoring and ruining ur noise cancelling headphones vibes.

Do yall think this was mean?
Is there some sort of 'rivarly' growing between her + ShanGag?
Should Shannon Gaga try 2 get revenge?
Is this vlog mean or chill?
Is this vlog authentic?
Do u think she is 'milking' HRO coverage too hard?
How do u pronounce MGMT?
Do u want to see her pantsless at a music festival?
Do u wanna share a $5 footlong with her?
What would u rather be doing?

Lamestreamers on facebook cream their pants ovr Crystal Castles

Posted: 28 Oct 2010 07:37 PM PDT


Facebook is a place where bros, alts, mainstreamers, and lamestreamers live their lives', coming home 2 the computer every night to reaffirm their social_network, ensuring that 1 day they will grow old and live in the_suburbs.

Anyways, have yall heard of the buzzband 'Crystal Castles.' Just found out that one of my best friends on the facebok vibes out 2 them. really weird/random!

First I embedded a Chrystal Castles song

then some 1 was like ' I <3 that song'

then some 1 was like 'no I <3 this song'

then some1 else was like 'i am DLing one from the internet! I hope it is good'

then some1 was like 'Alice Glass effing rules! Love her'

then some 1 was like 'have u heard of shitty band that sounds awesome cuz i have entry level ears?'

then some 1 was like 'no, should I DL them?'

then they posted a youtube embed link

then the entry level was like 'this effing rules'

then every1 was like 'Let's meet up and go 2 the Crystal Castles concert yall and be friends 4eaeaeae!'

then some1 was like 'I have a better idea... Let's make eachother mix CDs and listen to them as we drive around in our mid-sized, moderately sporty sedans. Yay 4 mix CDs!'

****
Do lamestreamers 'get' Crystal Castles?
Is Crystal Castles 4 entrylevs?
Do u find out abt new music on facebook?
Do lamestreamers eventually find out abt every band, or is there a way to be dark/unmarketable/unapproachable 2 prevent them from liking a buzzband [via the SALEM theory]?
