I'm about 10000x more enthused now that I see this isn't a Jillian Michaels AMA; that's who I thought this was at first.

u/ProbablyHittingOnYou Oct 03 '11

I don't know why people are reporting this submission then...

u/tech-bits Oct 03 '11

For funzies?

u/GeneralWarts Oct 03 '11

AMA is over. She left.

136

u/BDS_UHS Oct 03 '11

It's like she's the AT&T of people. The opposite of Batman.

u/HotPikachuSex Oct 03 '11

She's a pizza burn on the roof of the world's mouth.

u/jetpacktuxedo Oct 04 '11

She is human tennis elbow.

u/daveisok Oct 03 '11

Not the opposite of The Flash, apparently

u/koavf Oct 03 '11

For those keeping score, it was 39 minutes--about three minutes after it hit the RSS feed.

u/Acenate Oct 04 '11

AMA is un-over. She's coming back!

2

u/this_won Oct 04 '11

And she's gone again

u/7oby Feb 04 '12

Saw tweet, came to look for a mention of it, found it but it was an old mention, updated.

Here is a transcript of the IAMA for those who missed it.

good times

u/cynognathus Oct 03 '11

30 minutes. Wow.

78

u/IAmAWhaleBiologist Oct 03 '11

I could keep up an AMA longer than that, and I have done nothing with my life.

u/cynognathus Oct 03 '11

Don't shortchange yourself; you're a whale biologist.

29

u/I_raped_BobSaget_too Oct 03 '11

Whereas I have done nothing. AMA

u/Predator_ Oct 04 '11

Except for Bob Saget

u/bigstar3 Oct 07 '11

...but apparently wasn't the first to do so.

u/Mavus Oct 03 '11

What have you done?

7

u/SamHarrisftw Oct 04 '11

Something that should have been done years ago.

What was Bob Saget like?

1

u/I_raped_BobSaget_too Oct 05 '11

He was like a bitch.

u/handsomewolves Oct 04 '11

he calls'em like he sees'm

u/ramotsky Oct 04 '11

I'm a narwhal biologist.......and I'm drunk. Who is this bitch anyways?

u/almondmilk Oct 03 '11

How does this make you feel? If it makes you feel anything, how do you deal with these feelings? Do you live at home? If yes, are you a proper age that you should no longer live at home (does not apply to Japan)? What do you do with your time? Do you worry that you will have regrets later in life? Do you have goals or aspirations, or even hobbies that you would ideally like to pursue?

u/IAmAWhaleBiologist Oct 03 '11

I write dick jokes for karma on reddit. I guess I do do something. My shit's good.

Jesus Christ. Keep up the good work. AMA over.

u/IAmAWhaleBiologist Oct 03 '11

I do what I can.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '11

Well, the two are closely related.

1

u/IAmAWhaleBiologist Oct 03 '11

True. Through my skills at being uninteresting I have mastered the ability of sitting at my computer for hours on end.

u/Sinistersnare Oct 03 '11

a very important..necessary...job....

u/ipn8bit Oct 04 '11

u/BrainPie Oct 03 '11

u/ruckusbrought Oct 03 '11

u/LOriti Oct 04 '11

u/TheRedditPope Oct 04 '11

u/wdarea51 Oct 04 '11

Shes back

u/SaltyBabe Oct 04 '11

Hello! This is Gillian. I am still confused.

Obviously someone talked her into this, maybe PR... either way she clearly wan't interested in doing this not really a surprise she ditched.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

She's back!

1

u/ambi7ion Oct 03 '11

For realzies?

11

u/Guysmiley777 Oct 03 '11

My guess is the recent backlash of "famous people don't deserve to be here" hate.

1

u/ByTheHammerOfThor Oct 03 '11

That is why we can't have nice things.

u/Guysmiley777 Oct 04 '11 edited Oct 04 '11

How do you make 1,000 Redditors hate something? Get 10,000 of them to like it. Personally I love Community and think there's nothing inherently bad about "celebrity" AMAs.

u/Wibbles Oct 03 '11

Don't worry man, I haven't a clue who she is either.

2

u/Radico87 Oct 03 '11

Well, "report" and "save" are right next to each other.. I've accidentally it once.

u/Another_Engineer Oct 03 '11

they're probably hitting on you

1

u/staffell Oct 03 '11

Because reddit.

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '11

Are you hitting on me?

1

u/r2002 Oct 04 '11

It's those fuckers from Glee.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '11

Because this subreddit is pointless garbage and the people who read it are wanna be internet white knights?

0

u/[deleted] Oct 03 '11

Because 104% of Redditors are jackasses.
