An hero

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

In no way is An Hero to be confused with simply using "an" incorrectly as a typo. If done so, you will be given an F by the Grammar Nazi.

An hero
is part of a series on
final solutions.

[Where did I go wrong?] [Where did I go wrong?]

There comes a time in every man's life when situations spiral out of control and he finds his back against a wall. Maybe somebody stole his iPod. Maybe he just killed his wife and kids. Maybe he looked in the mirror and saw a fucktard. Whatever the reason, you can either get up and face the music, or you can tell the world and whatever deity you believe in to fuck off. In the latter case, pull out your list of final solutions and place a check in the suicide box. Tonight, you dine in hell.... But, are you "An Hero"?

Simply pwning oneself IRL is no cause to become "An Hero". Without exceptions,"An Heroes" are made, not born. When otherwise normal and rational people fondly eulogize and honor those that have killed themselves before them, that's when "An Hero" is made. Like it or not, somebody out there probably gives a shit about Curt Kobain. Could anyone say the same about you? That's why you'll never amount to anything. You'll never be "An Hero". (But don't let us stop you from trying. Having said that, becoming an hero is shit because you won't get to see the results of your endeavours. However, if you do a school shooting and don't kill yourself, you just might. With a lot of luck. Don't expect not to get raped and murdered in prison, or executed in the electric chair.)

The phrase "An Hero" dates back at least 100 years ago last thursday, to the proto-An Hero, Mitchell Henderson, who famously shot himself after losing his iPod. /b/tards jumped on a grammatical error made by one of his myspace friends, and it is now immortalized as the banner under which we mock those courteous enough to remove themselves from the gene pool. Since then, an heroes of all ages have bravely been removing themselves from the gene pool, including 3 year olds

[edit] "An Hero"

An heroes to us all!

—I Feel Like An Hero, And You Are My Heroine, Boys Like Girls

While "an Hero" is regarded as a grammatical error by modern linguists, usage of the quantifier "an" before words that started with a morpheme of the pattern CV that began with a 'h' in the onset was common usage before the 17th century.

But thou complying with thy princely wrath, Hast shamed an Hero whom themselves the Gods Delight to honour ... [Cowper's translation of Homer, about 1790]

Clearly, this implies that Mitchell Henderson and his friends are time travelers from the 16th century, and killed himself over a perceived decline in the English language. More of teh gay than 1000 William Safires.

Even Hitler, in prison in the 1920s, knew about the lulz that would soon engulf the internets, and slipped a reference to Mitch in his famous Mein Kampf:

“	And no more than a hundred empty heads make one wise man will an heroic decision arise from a hundred cowards	„
—Adolph Hitler

In spite of the obvious similarities, "An Hero" should not be confused with "A Negro" and "A Necro".

The 'n' stands for 'lulz'.

Almost an hero.

For most men, before they become "An Hero", they kill themselves in order to deliver a final "Fuck You" to the world. Male suicide is over 9000 times more prevalent than female suicide, simply because a man has At least 100 times as much testosterone as your average woman.

Women commit suicide for one of only two reasons. In the lesser case, they've lost someone they love and can't imagine dying alone. They decide to do Mother Nature and humanity a favor by also removing themselves from the gene pool. That, or perhaps they were turned down by The w00tl3r.

In most other cases, however, women are motivated to feign suicide whenever they are beset by despair. These women believe that people around them would support and comfort them, even if the only person from whom they're in danger is themselves. This is colloquially known as a "Cry for Help". Surprisingly, some women who attempt suicide will actually die. See also: Unrealistic Expectations and Hollywood Martyr. The only female an hero worth a mention is probably Christine Chubbuck, a 70s news anchor who shot herself during a live newscast, moments after making a joke that she was doing so in accordance with network policy to bring the viewers more "blood and guts". She also beat Budd Dwyer to it.

[edit] Hero Anthem

Where have all the good parents gone?

And where is my iPod?

Where's the street-wise bullies?

To assault me after school?

Isn't there a teacher in a fiery tie?

Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I'll be

(Chorus)

I'll be an hero

I'm becoming an hero at the end of the week

I just killed two cops

And I'm gonna be dead

And I'm gonna be fresh from the morgue

I'll be an hero

I'll be discovered by Mom in the morning light

I had a bad day

And I was called gay

And now I'm larger than life

Now I'm an hero.

[edit] An Heroes Song

I-I wish I could find

Find my iPod-Nano 16 gig

Though nothing-nothing will keep us together

I can't find it-I've lost it forever

Oh I'll be an hero-on 'An Hero Day'

We-we've been playing

Playing-playing some 'Doom'

And Manson he told us to slay

Oh let's be an heroes-on 'An Hero Day'

We can PWN them-on 'An Hero Day'

I-I went on Bebo

I saw-BSC

And in Wales-and found me a tree

Tied my rope-put my neck through the hoop

But before-told 'The Sun' bout me

I stood on the stool-kicked it from beneath me

Oh I'll be an hero-cos Bridgend is shit

Let's be an heroes (3X)

On 'An Hero Day'

Let's be an heroes

We're dying, and dying by ourselves

We need attention, oh put me on 4chan

But we could be famous, til the meme dies

Oh, oh, oh, ohhh-oh, oh, oh, ohhh, on 'An Hero Day'

Oh, on 'An Hero Day'

[edit] "An Hero" Paradox

Scientists have theorized about what is known as the "An Hero" paradox. In order for such a paradox to take place, two people with iPods must steal each other's iPod. The obligation to become an hero would conflict with the gain of an iPod, most likely producing the same results as dividing by zero.
