The Bill Spider was a small MS paint drawing made by Ausfag basement dweller David Thorne (Dorian Thorn pseudonym?) that resulted in a fairly good example of IRL trolling with a dose of troll remorse. This fairly small incident resulted in an Ausfag news frenzy that prooved that the painting skills of a 3 year old can still earn you eFame and false hope.

The story originated Last Thursday when David Thorne, being the incompetent unemployed luser that he is, decided to troll the phone service provider through a series of emails. The first email was a complaint from his phone company that he had been refusing to pay his bills

Dear David, Our records indicate that your account is overdue by the amount of $233.95. If you have already made this payment please contact us within the next 7 days to confirm payment has been applied to your account and is no longer outstanding.

Tired of paying the man, David decided that instead of paying his bill he would save his precious money and instead proceed to troll the shit out of the company

Dear Jane, I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.
 


 

—David Thorne


The stupidity continued for several chain emails before, wussing out, David baulked under the building pressure of troll remorse like the fucking n00b he is


 
 
I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it.
 

 

—David Thorne, suffering from troll remorse


The Article

Apparently nothing happens in Australia so the story starved news website NineMSN decided that this quality story was worth their bandwidth, time and money to use as their front story. As the article combined basement dwellers favorite pastime (beside fapping to furry pr0n), dodging paying taxes and MS paint, it instantly rocketed to the Number 1 article of the month.

The eBay

How the spider pays off the phone bill
How the spider pays off the phone bill

Almost exploding with eFame and unwarrented self importance David Thane decided that he could sell his piece of crappy 'art' on eBay. This produced a bidding frenzy in which the retards of the interwebz converged upon eBay to waste money on something they COULD HAVE FUCKING COPIED FROM THE ARTICLE. Apparently the picture of the spider, which takes about three seconds to draw in paint, was worth to some idiot 10,000 dollars, leading to another shitty article from NineMSN.

The Fraud *Gasp*

Orgasming in complete excitement David Thorne proceeded to attempt to collect the money, which the bidder was totally going to pay, and then cried when he was laughed at and told to GTFO. The bidder, Patrick Monaz, replied.

 
 
I was just having a laugh about this, I used my normal eBay account too — eBay is going to have the shits when they find out.
 

 

—Patrick Monaz


Clearly Patrick was doing it for teh Lulz. eBay decided to step in and make Patrick pay up:


All the drama spawned another shitty article. This is true proof that even though LA can burn to the ground and a Black man can get voted into the whitehouse Australia still finds drawn spiders far more interesting.
