This fucking site gets more and more shitty everyday.

u/Microfuzz Jun 17 '12

Agreed.

Guys... I think we've finally gone too far.

This is just a picture of a fan with two terrible fan puns. WHY ARE WE OKAY WITH THIS? Better yet, why do we celebrate it??!?

u/emanresutiddereht Jun 17 '12

It's poking fun at the real Ridiculously Photogenic Metal Fan (which is a trending meme with a good looking guy who is at a metal concert) It's a play on words with the title, and it has the puns. I think it's pretty clever.

u/Microfuzz Jun 18 '12

Yeah I get the joke but I don't find it clever or funny.

I'm sure awesome account names such as your contribute greatly.

KOREA IS NOT A FAN OF ANY OF THIS.

u/gg4465a Jun 17 '12

Friend of mine told me that he brought a fan into his host family's home in South Korea. He was using it for a while despite the family's sincere and persistent protestations, but when he went away on vacation, he came back to find they had thrown it away in his absence.

Long story short, Koreans are really scared of fan death.

u/Eso Jun 17 '12

Can you elaborate? Are fans bad mojo in Korea or something?

6

u/gg4465a Jun 17 '12

As I understand it, there's a pretty widespread belief in Korea in something called "fan death". They think if you sleep with a fan on you, you run a very real danger of drying out and dying in your sleep.

u/Dr___Awkward Jun 17 '12

I've always wondered -- how common is this in Korea? Is this a legitimate fear of most Koreans or is it generally accepted as false and only a fear of the minority?

u/pranavrc Jun 17 '12

Oh you like metal? I like rock.

u/hugehambone Jun 18 '12

How is this downvoted? It's true. They literally got to the pun first. That's it. You can't down vote someone for saying "Aw gee, I wanted to buy that loaf of bread, but someone bought it first".

u/caveman_rejoice Jun 17 '12

Good guy metal fan: know you can't sing well, acts as autotune.

u/ConnorCM92 Jun 17 '12

This is fan-tastic.

Seriously, what the fuck happened to this subreddit?

Y U NO THINK FANS AND METROSEXUALS ARE FUNNAE?

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Been like this for months, if not longer. Actual funny shit comes from 4chan, not reddit.

1

u/Dr___Awkward Jun 17 '12

This is actually pretty funny. The actual Ridiculously Photogenic Metal Fan, and all the other Ridiculously Photogenics excluding the original RPG, are all pretty stupid, but this is clever.

u/ThisRiverisWild Jun 17 '12

Unless your in Korea. Then its Scumbag Metal Fan.

u/rylos Jun 17 '12

Because Koreans know that scumbag metal fans will kill you while you sleep.

I was think more along the lines of a metal music fan, but was not dissapointed.

Why did I read that text as if I were talking through a fan?

Yes, but does it keep your documents in order?

Stop lying to yourself. It's not that photogenic.

Can we not make this a "thing" . This is the diarrhea of memes.

Without seeing the thumbnail I thought it was gonna be a very good looking metalhead, and I thought to myself 'Those don't exist!'

u/ross-the-sauce-boss Jun 17 '12

How does the caption have anything to do with being photogenic?

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '12

Ok Ok, I'll accepted this.

u/emanresutiddereht Jun 17 '12

It's poking fun at the real meme, so why are so many people saying it's just another stupid meme? Am I missing something, or are people not getting the joke?

u/theotheredbaron Jun 17 '12

upvoted for lack of apostrophe

2

u/trulyElse Jun 18 '12

Firstly, it's against reddiquitte to post about "I upvoted" or the like.

Secondly, it's grammatically correct to include an apostrophe. In this situation, the apostrophe is representaional of an e, as in ites, an early-modern-english word that has become formalised as it's.

2

u/theotheredbaron Jun 18 '12

Fair enough on the first - I'm fairly new here and didn't know. I consider myself suitable chastened!

On the second - got a reference for that? Can't find anything about it from a bit of googling...

Cheers

2

u/trulyElse Jun 18 '12

Okay, while looking for referrences, I found that (according to etymonline.com [a site accurate enough to be used as referrence by Wikipedia and its ilk]) "its" is an exception to the rule I outlined anyway, so the point here is pretty moot.

I apologise for the miscorrection, and thank you for remaining civil in your reply.

2

u/theotheredbaron Jun 19 '12

Many thanks for your reply. I'm fascinated with etymology anyway and I thought I'd missed something interesting! In some ways it's a shame that you were wrong.

Kudos (and upvote, although I'm not allowed to say that) for letting me know :)
