The most elusive thing on the internet and a precious resource. As rare as white dog turds, and as valuable as gold to the Spaniards Jews, watermelonz to the niggaz, and CP to 4chan.

Original content, or as it is referred to as "OC", is what the cutting-edge dramatician uses to generate lulz. The purest and most intoxicating lulz can only be acquired through the generation of original content. All lulz generated through documented and established methods are cut with such impurities as old meme, unfunny, and AIDS. Most attempts to generate lulz through original content fail, because most people OTI are fucktarded or aspies.

Everything was, at one time, original content, even our old friend Goatse. Since the invention of the tubes the internet has been a filthy recycling ground for everything IRL. Popular culture enters the greedy mouth of the INTERNET HATE MACHINE and is mangled within the putrid stomach of legion. Out the other end comes a stream of garbled junk that becomes a repost of a repost of a repost, leading to hordes of gaiafags/newfags swimming in the collective shit of Anonymous, thinking they're bathing in the ambrosia of the gods while the rest of the internet moves on to bigger and better things. Attempts at actively promoting the creation of original content rarely work.

Original content, when used in conjunction with satire by someone with half a brain, is the anti-GRIDS. It is, therefore, what ED needs moar of. Ironically, most original content is thrown out becuase it is not an old regurgitated meme from a chan board, and winds up slipping off the end of the earth while everyone focuses on the same unfunny copypasta.
