Hm. That is kinda NSFW. A warning would have been nice. :mad: ---

On the real asshole test, I scored a 43%: “Part Time Asshole.” > [@test](#): > > You may think you are an asshole or a bitch, but the truth is you are a good person at heart. Yeah sure, you can have a mean streak in you, but most of the people you meet like you. Sounds about right. I thought I was a bigger asshole, until my 21st birthday party came around a couple years ago. A married couple who had barely met me offered to host the party, and dozens of people from nearly all stages of my life showed up to wish me well and give me free booze and pot. It was a heartwarming night. * * * > [@Autolycus](#): > > Personally, having seen her myspace pics, even my terminal case of yellow fever wasn’t enough for me to think she was attractive. With that said, she seems really nice and I’m furious at the assholes pestering her and calling her names. Seconded, although I’m a bit oogy using a term like “yellow fever”. Still, it’s made even worse by the fact that the guy was trolling with her picture (he even admitted it in post #2). That’s not cool, and the whole thread says a lot more about bodybuilders than it does about her. I don’t have the heart to read the rest of the abuse. (Although I must admit that I did lose it when I got to the picture of the wide-eyed dude taken aback.) I left a nice comment on her blog and now I’m washing my hands of that thread. Anyway, her body more than cancels out her face IMO. She obviously works hard for her figure–_man_, does it ever show–and these are clearly really bad pictures of her. I don’t know much about makeup except that it’s generally a turnoff for me, but I can tell her body looks even better in person than it does in those pics, so I’m willing to bet her face looks much better when she gets all that damn makeup off. ---

> [@Hostile\_Dialect](#): > > On the real asshole test, I scored a 43%: “Part Time Asshole.” I scored 66% - Sort of an asshole. “You are abrasive, some people really hate you, but there may be a group of other tight knit assholes and bitches that you hang out with and get you. Everybody else? Fuck ‘em.” Only about 50% accurate – I wouldn’t say “abrasive,” but “blunt.” I don’t think anyone really hates me – I get along with most people I meet. I do have a rather small circle of friends that “get” me, and I certainly say “fuck em” whenever anyone doesn’t like something I say or do (unless it was truly a screwup on my part - most of the time it’s because I’m not PC enough, and I don’t apologize for being honest). > [@](#): > > Seconded, although I’m a bit oogy using a term like “yellow fever”.

I wouldn’t attribute it to bodybuilders – assholes come in all shapes and sizes, and the majority of that thread is guests who were linked to it and have decided to pile on, instead of regular posters to that forum. ---

> [@CaerieD](#): > > As I said, it got a lot less funny when I saw her MySpace page. This wasn’t a good natured ribbing of some guy taking unflattering pictures of his girlfriend, like it first appeared. This was a calculated and mean public taunting. And I still don’t think she’s all that bad looking. She can’t hate the attention all that much if she made it to this point without even bothering to set her MySpace to private (which probably half the girls on MySpace do in the first place). And there’s nothing stopping her from deleting any comment she wants to delete on her page. ---

Oh, come on. Deleting the abusive comments would be a full-time job. This way, she’s telling the world that she’s not fazed. I say good on her for finding a way to turn this into a magnet for positive attention. ---

> [@Hostile\_Dialect](#): > > Oh, come on. Deleting the abusive comments would be a full-time job. She can also set the comments to Friends-only. I don’t condone the negative comments and really don’t care much about this matter at all - I’m just sayin’. ETA: I just wanted to add that by posing in the first place and by seemingly welcoming all comments, she’s showing a lot more self-confidence than most of us who would consider ourselves better-looking. ---

I laughed. Particularly, I laughed at this guy’s signature: > [@](#): > > All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become -Buddha > > 4TLOAHH= FOR THE LOVE OF AUSSIE HIP HOP > > REP IT YA TOY C#NTS!!! Truly we have a philosopher in our midst. For the record, I think it’s hypocritical to be outraged about making fun of someone’s looks when people on this board make fun of stupidity, and ignorance, and opposing political viewpoints, and dog lovers, and Dave Matthews Band fans, all the time. I don’t think it matters why you’re choosing to belittle someone, though in the case of the OP’s link I think the butt of the joke is the guy posting the photos, not his girlfriend.\* This is generally acceptable guy social interaction, and thus funny. \*Though it’s since come out the guy was trolling and being deliberately mean to the woman… in which case, it’s sad. But still a little funny, in an Internet sort of way. Also, her MySpace photos are quite cute. My guess is the flash on his camera did funny things to her eyes. It happens to me all the time, and I look drunk or crazy in 99% of all photographs. So maybe I’m an asshole, but at least a thoughtful one. ---

I’m in the “fix her eyeliner and hot damn” camp, myself. I’m chuckling, but at the dudes who can’t tell the difference between “ugly” and “hot, with really bad makeup and posing”. Granted, some of the response pictures were hilarious (suprised dude is now in my collection of images) but otherwise, meh, I don’t think you have to be an asshole to find the wittier examples funny in the abstract. ---

Oh, I found the surprised dude funny. Because it reflected my exact state at seeing those pictures - not horrified, not disgusted, just totally taken aback. ---

I only scored a 20% on the Asshole test. ☹ 😃 I still think the girl has a very nice body and a very ugly face. I looked at her MySpace Pics and she is not pretty at all. This is of course just my opinion. I still found that thread not funny at all. Different tastes again. ---

And there’s nothing stopping her from deleting any comment she wants to delete on her page. A comment I read mentioned that her page WAS set to private prior to her finding out about it and then once she found out how many hits the forum was getting she changed it to public. I’d assume she wants the attention. Believe it or not it’s stupid things like this that actually make people internet stars overnight.

I must not be much of an asshole because I didn’t laugh either. I didn’t read very far because if I see “lulz” or rep mentioned more than once on a page it’s like a bad flashback and I stop reading. I also hate flashing dancing bling and having to search through 10-line sigs for a one-line post. /cranky this morning ---
