Go fuck yourself, worthless kid. Whenever something happens you go up to your little "/b/ folder", pick up UMAD.jpg and post it here, thinking you are the best, laughing behind your screen, flapping these adipous cheeks of yours while your wawa chocolate milk drips all over your XXXL t-shirt. Fucking pederast. You rotten, disgusting slug, bucephalus leech. I hate you and your entire body smells like feces. Do you have any idea of how long you have been there, sitting on this same chair that because of some unknown miracle managed to withstand your massive weight? You have been there for weeks, months, locked up in your room that smells like Doritos and Wawa milk, jacking off to your Haruhi wallpaper and posting "UMAD.jpg" on this fucking imageboard. I don't even know how you manage to type with your thick, greasy fingers, or how you still manage to find your tiny penis among all the fat flaps on your belly and groin area. You pile of shit, bipedal sperm-whale!!!

well it isnt the joke, but thats what OP's getting at


that one guy isnt monstrously stupid, he just went with the majority answer, which is usually a safe bet, even if he had inkligs the other way.
the fact that the huge majority of that american audience is fucking retarded is cause for good humour =p

>> No.3983063

how could anyone get this wrong? It's a question that anybody can figure out on the spot. It isn't some obscure trivia question that 2% of the population knows. It requires no prior knowledge other than what a square is and how to do ridiculously simple addition and multiplication. I think $1000 is a bit too high of a reward to give to someone that stupid. That 22% of the audience who said B must have been shitting their pants.
