An hero

See also: Mitchell Henderson. He was a inspiration.

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. Maybe you can't live with the fact that you're a washed-up actor who's addicted to sex with Thai ladyboys. 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, because tonight, you dine in hell.

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 Kurt Cobain (moar liek Kurt Gobang amirite?). Could anyone say the same about you? That's why you'll never amount to anything. You'll never be "An Hero". Don't let us stop you from trying, though. Having said that, becoming an hero is shit because you won't get to see the results of your successful endeavors. 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. There is no half/almost/soon An Hero. Either you blow your brains out and become An Hero or don't, but in your case, please do.

The phrase "An Hero" dates back to 2006, in reference to the prototypical An Hero, Mitchell Henderson, who famously shot himself after losing his iPod. /b/tards jumped on a grammatical error made by many 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.

You and Your Potential An Hero

When you become an hero, you make front pages!1

Inspiring an heroes since 1987.

You hate life, you have no friends, your dad is a(n) insert problem here, your mom is a slut, school sucks, you get molested after class, you couldn't get a Wii two years ago or today, you lost your iPod (which BTW had terrible music on it), you're gay, you get bullied, noone loves you, everyone hates you, you lost "the game". You've been thinking about becoming an hero for a while now, but are not sure. Will anyone care? Have you given the military a try? Will anyone remember you? No, because you're a sick fuck. Now you have to get set on changing that.

IRL usage of an Hero prior to the 20th century fagification of the Engrish language

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 an h in the onset was common usage before the ~~17th~~20th century.

“	But thou complying with thy princely wrath, hast shamed an Hero whom themselves the Gods delight to honor	„
—Cowper's translation of Homer, circa 1790. Clearly, this implies that Mitchell Henderson is a time traveler from the 16th century who killed himself over a perceived decline in the English language.

A Dictionary of the English Language (1824), defines the word heroical as something befitting an hero.

The Gentleman's Magazine (1787) uses an hero like a pro, and also includes many references to Johnfon.

"An Hero"

An heroes to us all!

An Hero coming soon?!

Become an hero!

“	I'm not a boy, I'm just an hero, I'm not a man, I'm an hero.	„
—Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance

In spite of the obvious similarities, "an Hero" should not be confused with "a Negro" or "a Necro".

It is also an obscure fact that the song "And the Hero Will Drown" by Story of the Year was originally titled "An Hero Will Drown Himself".

It is a little known fact that the plural of an hero is "one's heroes," its grammar based in British English. This will remain a little known fact, as nobody gives a fuck.

"An Heroine"

The fakest an heroine that ever was.

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 solid by also removing themselves from the gene pool.

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". It's too bad that ALL WOMEN are what they have because they use "sleeping pills" and need to try again. If at first you don't succeed, become an hero. Oh wait, you failed THAT too. Now you get to experience the living hell of LIFE. Oh the irony. Maybe if they self-headshotted like a REEL MAN, they'd be successful.

The only female an heroes worth mentioning are Megan Meier, whose suicide produced epic BAWWW all over the internets, and 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.

NEWSFLASH: She didn't die at the scene. OH WELL. Dwyer was the first to INSTA-DIE.

Emos did Hannah Bond

Those who comprise the 'emo scene', specifically My Chemical Romance, were criticized by the coroner at the inquest into the death (by hanging) of a girl from Maidstone, Kent in the United Kingdom named Hannah Bond.

Fuck her.

An Villain

Sometimes an heroes need a gentle nudge in the right direction, this is why "an villains" exist. By committing some serious IRL trolling, you too can drive that wannabe an hero to achieve his full potential. Good examples of an villains include Gary Oak (the Ash you see nowadays is a different one, srsly), Jesus and Bowser. Be warned that even though being an villain is a kind and noble act, many do not see it this way. Many will try to hurt, kill, rape or even troll you (it's like the goatse man getting goatsed). Be sure to always pack some heat and carry a razor blade; an villains can turn into an heroes too.

Hero Anthem

Teenagers in a small town in south Wales becoming an heroes simultaneously.

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.

An Heroes Song

Scorpios were born to An Hero.

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'

NotAnotherAnthem

The Official An Hero Song

I'm so sick and tired of being bored, Had it up to here with being ignored. The kids that walk by in their tired haze, Lookin' for a place just to have their say:

Gonna be an hero! We finally got our way! Gonna be an hero! Gotta get on t.v today!

There's too many players that we despise, Gotta find a way to equalize -- Decimate the robots down on the floor: That's what I use gun powder for!

Gonna be an hero! We finally got our way! Gonna be an hero! Gotta get on t.v today!

An!

Hero!

An!

Gonna be an hero.

The "An Hero" Paradox

Even the liberal media wants you to become an hero.

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.

Scientists resolved the problem by confirming that anyone who owns an iPod should become an hero immediately due to the intense fail of iPods. The only problem with this is that only emo faggots use iPods. And you should know that emos never kill themselves (sadly).

Japanese East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere An Hero

Yukio Mishima, Japan's leading Cocksman, achieved the highest score playing seppuku on his Nintendo Color TV Game. For his achievements, The Japanese Self Defense Forces gave him a high-five and a pat on the back for good measure, but secretly they laughed at him behind his back. Mishima saw a printed AIM CONVO of their giggling and was transformed into a mighty Showa Emofag. He knew that something had to be done immediately, so he went inside and had one of his pretty young men behead him after he disemboweled himself.

The Happening

In this movie, an unknown source releases a chemical that causes entire populations of people to self-pwn and become an heroes. As a matter of fact, the only people in the movie who do not become an heroes are the main characters, as if this wasn't a drawn-out horror movie cliché. As the movie does not explain the cause, watching it is a huge waste of time for anybody.

Actually, the 'unknown source' was a bunch of freaking trees. Angry, vengeful trees. Never before in a movie have there been so many stock shots of wind blowing ominously through foliage, and never before have so many enviro-Nazis simultaneously wet themselves.
