Just wondering...

It's not a virus, it's a website which posts asshole-but-hilarious comments with TFM/TSM (total frat move/total sorority move). Example:

"Whenever a GDI talks to me, all I hear is "blah blah blah cargo shorts." TSM- smashley"

It's hilarious, though you'd probably have to be familiar with SEC Greeks to fully get it. It's my new favorite time waster.

I'm with Drolefille. Though you said "hilarious" twice, I just see stoopid. Very, very stoopid.

Each to his own. Then again, this is in the same line as Tucker Max humor, which I also appreciate. If you don't have a sense of humor about fuckery and satire, you won't be able to get into it.

HA HA NON-GREEKS WEAR CARGO SHORTS, GET IT?

There's nothing satirical there. "Fuckery" maybe, satire no.

Actually, it's the same form of satire as Colbert, for example...exaggeration. Like I said, some contributors probably are dead serious, which is entertaining in its own right (though in a sad way), but much of it is straight up silly, on purpose.

If you were to spend time on the UA campus, for instance, you'd get it.

I can agree on to each his own. Though for the record, I can find Tucker Max hilarious. This, not at all.

But as I suggested above -- whenever I hear the word "fratty" or hear "frat" used as a verb or adjective, I suspend any expectation that intelligence will follow.

It's not supposed to be intelligent, just funny.

Which just makes it very targeted humor. Stating that people would get it if they had a "sense of humor for satire" isn't the same thing.

Honestly I still probably wouldn't 'get' it (it's not that hard to 'get', it's hard to find humorous) as I wouldn't hang around with 'that crowd' anyway.

And no, it's not in Colbert's league.

It's just really not all that serious or deep. Exaggeration is an actual method of satire. Once again, I'm sure some of these people are deadly serious, but most are not and it's a way to make fun in an entertaining manner.

to "that crowd". Generally speaking I don't either, as I'm sure I wouldn't reach up to anyone who is serious's standards. But I still think it's funny.

It's ok for people to find amusement here.
