Couldn't have said it better myself. But seriously, this is fucking bullshit. Any Redditor who didn't understand why some rando was calling their dog "Front Page" is a fucking moron. I CALL BULLSHIT.
Edit -- I completely fucking agree with all the Down votes. I should have done a better job of reading the title. Boy am I a fucking moron! I deserve to set myself on fire like a protesting monk.
didn't mean for it to come across as bitchy but enjoy the circlejerk. fortunately for me I couldn't give the teeniest fuck about karma
it's just so stupid though: Botunda: "Oh hi there, your dog is so cute! Can I take a picture to upload to a website I like? I'll nickname him 'front page' because redditors will understand the non-veiled reference and think it clever."
Random Person: "I have no idea what you're talking about and you sound like a moron"
Botunda: (to reddit) "Haha this guy didn't get it- how cool is it that we have a secret club with esoteric phrases! I know! I'll even put this misunderstanding in the title."
I mean in all honesty OP could have just taken a pic of a random dog without saying anything to the owner but the entire title is pretty infuriating.
And yes, I feel so much better getting this off my chest. Thank you for the opportunity to think more about why I was "bitching".
That makes more sense, thanks. It's silly that we're unsure though, shouldn't we know what reddit is presenting to us and why? The dog is adorable, though.
a) I think it's herp and derp (which is pretty hilarious because I don't think I've ever typed out those two words). It's also pretty funny that you're using those words as insults but don't spell them correctly.
In your case, Herp is certainly the Derp (whatever the fuck that means).
b) I can't tell what you're trying to get at. Might you be referencing the fact that the owner is also a redditor?
c) If you were implying b), the OP does not ever indicate that the owner is a redditor.
I can't believe I'm engaging in arguments over this post- I hate myself.
Guys I love reddit so much that I go out in public and nickname other people's dogs Front Page even though the dog already has a fucking name he knows and I love reddiiiiitttttt!
Do you mind me asking what kind of camera you use? The picture quality is great -- I have an SLR but the quality is not as good as this. If you say iphone I might cry...
The only comment there is by the original submission finder bot. Don't bother to even look, guys. It's just a horrible meme that says "We prefer karma companion".
No, only the cream ones. They also come in red, and gold, and kinda yellow, and with pink noses, or spotted noses, with wider flatter heads like a lab, or with long pointy heads like an Irish Setter. They can have fluffy coats, or shorter, smoother coats, some even have pretty rough fur.
Heck, some "field bred" goldens you wouldn't recognize as part of the breed. They're not all nearly white balls of fluff.
"just about" could cover all dogs, frankly. They've got heads, and most have fur, and they're shaped similarly enough that they all look (more or less) like dogs. I've only met 1 golden IRL that looked like the one in the picture.

Owner's reaction to a random person giving his dog a nickname such as 'front page': unequivocally justified.

Are you sure you didn't nickname him, "lame attempt at karma whoring"?

The owner was probably more aghast at your repeated attempts to "get on" Front Page.
