Talk:Bradman

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Jump to: navigation, search
  • Just because you don't like bradman (I DON'T EITHER) doesn't mean you need to trash the article. I plan to edit out the much of the article later when the newfags finally stop caring. Right now it needs to contain lots of info so newfags get the picture of whats going on. It will be better and moar concise later on.
    • I didn't put the shit template because I don't like bradman, I put it because the article sucks; it looks like it was written by a fifth-grader and has way too much unfunny crap in it. I think it's safe to say most people left the "fatass" insult behind in middle school, and fifty fucking pictures of his arm with the same tattoo-in-progress is unnecessary. Aside from that, bradman himself is just a passing internet fad, destined to die off within the week (notice his viewers dropped below 100 after about half an hour at the tattoo shop), and completely undeserving of his own article on ED. There is already a justin.tv article, feel free to add a smaller section there with a few of these pictures (NOT the 5 identical ones of him sitting at work, 13 similar tattoo pics, or horrible shoops from the gallery). And if you're worried about newfags on here, I assure you that bradman's activities and notoriety can be summed up in the space of approximately two sentences. 00:35, 12 October 2007 (CDT) User:Scrumfy
  • We've been raiding him off and on for a month. There are allllot of newfags involved in this. (I spend time just directly faggots to the ED article) The ED article provides a place to post lots of information so they don't waste their time trying the same old shit over and over. Thus thats why it was very cluttered, and was certainly more than Bradman merits.

His viewers dropped below 100 because the feed kept shitting out (it was very obvious if you were paying attention). ONCE AGAIN I HATE HIS GUTS, but he provides many newfags entertainment. Though, in response to your complaints, i've deleted some shit, got rid of some of the shit left over from the guy who started the article. He didn't seem to understand that the article should be more than just spewing lame bile (it should be at least amusing bile). After this tattoo thing dies down, and the banning on 4chan kicks in, i'll delete more stuff off until it seems reasonable. Consider it a work in progress.

    • First of all, I don't know why you think ED exists solely to document the current fad of newfags on 4chan -- it doesn't. Raiding him for a month is surprising considering their average attention span, but it simply is not funny. I read the entire article and did not even crack a smile, unlike the majority of ED articles. Read the style guide and stop giving a fuck what the zerg is presently doing -- put shoe on head ceased to be funny after about a week...Notice the pranks in the justin.tv article aren't simply 4channers spamming chat with old memes (and that's what makes them good).

And about the justin.tv article, it is indeed a work in progress -- I invited you to save face and help with the bradman subsection. I'll make it myself if you don't want to, and then bring this to the attention of the admins; once he has a paragraph and a couple pictures in the jtv article, this one will be irrelevant and verbose (and likely to disappear). 00:35, 12 October 2007 (CDT) User:Scrumfy

  • Save face with who exactly? You act as if your particular input is needed. He is indeed a fad, and not deserving of current size of the article he has. When it dies down I plan to edit out huge swathes of it, and always have planned on doing that. Again what you think is funny is completely and totally Irrelevant. It's true I'm using the article in an unintended way, namely keeping the masses of newfags informed. God forbid newfags be informed. I don't understand why you assume I have to conform to your elitist bullshit. ED is a fairly big website with tons of shitty, unfunny araticles. What does it matter if one is long and another is short? There isn't any good reason for this ass not to have his own page. What does it matter? You act as if I'm doing him a kindness, I'm not. If you think so little of this attention whore, then just link to this page and forget about it. Your sense of grandeur is retarded.

  • I took out a TON of useless/unfunny shit, and made it slightly more lulzy. I wanted to shift the article from almost humoring bradman, into something that should piss brad himself off in the spirit of ED.--Vaughn 14:40, 21 November 2007 (CST)
